Disc review(s)
Picture:(28/30) - The picture transfer is extremely sharp. Nice job by Panorama. The only flaw is that it is not anamorphic.

Sound:(28/30) - Very solid and clear sound transfer.

Subtitles:(13/20) - The Chinese subtitles are not really well translated, some sentences are not easy to read, plus when Sam Lee and the other Japanese are speaking in Cantonese, the subtitles will disappear. One of the biggest problem of this part is that the Japanese guy speaks poor Cantonese that is very hard to listen, without subtitles, I myself can't understand what he is saying at all.

Extras:(3/10) - Except for the chapter selection feature, there is no extras at all.

Film:(10/10) - Good transition.

Grade:(82/100) - B

Remarks:If you speak Japanese, the two disc Japanese version that is packed with tons of extras is definitely the one you should pick up. Otherwise, this Overseas version is the only one to go. As a side note, even though the DVD cover says it is a Region 3 only disc, this overseas version seems to have two versions, one is region free and another one is region 3.
