Original, fully-licensed 2-disc VCD release of the 1998 Hong Kong crime / triad / action film, YOUNG AND DANGEROUS V, which starred Ekin Cheng, Shu Qi, Mark Cheng, Chin Ka-Lok, Vincent Wan, Paul Chun, Jerry Lamb, Jason Chu, Karel Wong and Danny Lee. The film was directed by Andrew Lau. This VCD is from the official Hong Kong release of the film ... produced by Universe Laser. VCDs are Video Compact Discs -- an alternate video format that came before DVD and which were widely popular in a number of Asian countries. The discs used are produced on CDs, rather than DVDs, so far less information can be held on a single disc. This results in two main differences between VCDs and DVDs. First, VCDs are usually issued in two discs per film, rather than a single disc for a DVD. Second, since CDs hold far less info than DVDs, the video quality for VCDs is noticeably lower than for DVDs. The typical VCD has video quality similar to a factory issued VHS tape, but below the clarity in DVDs. VCDs are usually region-free, and they can be played on most standard DVD players -- but you will have to check the compatibility for your player. This is the official licensed release of the film -- it is NOT a bootleg or unlicensed copy. This item comes complete with discs, plastic jewel case, plus the original case art inserts. The audio is in Cantonese or Mandarin, with Chinese and English subtitles. The VCD comes from a smoke-free, climate controlled home. PLEASE NOTE: This is an ex-rental piece, and the plastic case has several cracks on the front and back covers, but the case could easily be replaced. Overall Disc Condition: EXCELLENT+/LIKE NEW.... While this appears to have come from a rental store, the discs are in excellent, almost like new condition -- with only a few tiny marks. The movie plays great.
