The UK Region 2 also comes from HKL and the Region 4 seems to be a port of this. In comparison to the US Region 1, the Region 4 misses out on:
The Region 1 misses out on:
The Region 1 sounds as though it hasn't been cleaned up, with dirt and other detritus reported. A French Region 2 release has additional filmographies but only comes in a box set with another Maggie Cheung film called Green Snake. This disc has non-removable French subtitles and no English subtitles. A Hong Kong release without region coding from Mei Ah has a Cantonese Dolby Digital 5.1 track as well as mono Cantonese and Mandarin alternatives. It has English subtitles but no extras. I have not found any reviews of it, but I have a few Mei Ah discs and typically they have average to mediocre transfers and poor English subtitles. A Region 3 release from Korea has a Cantonese surround track with mono Cantonese and Mandarin alternatives. It has English subtitles and a couple of trailers. I think that the audio commentary tips the scales slightly in favour of the Region 1. |
