Region 4 Winners and Losers

    This film is yet to be released in Region 1.

    The most appropriate point of comparison internationally is the 2-disc Hong Kong Region 0 and UK Region 2 editions, though it is hard to pick a clear winner. The Hong Kong and UK editions are nearly identical in terms of extra features, however the HK edition features an 6.1 DTS soundtrack as well as 5.1 Dolby Digital. The Region 4 edition actually features more special features than the 2-disc versions, although they have been (heavily) compressed onto the one disc. The Audio Commentary is missing from the international versions, and the Wing Chun "Legacy" featurette appears to be regionalised on the Region 4 release. In a nutshell, the Region 4 edition arguably wins in terms of features but the International versions feature less compressed video and will probably look better to many viewers.
