The film was directed by Griffin Yueh. This VCD is from the official Celestial / Hong Kong release of the film ... produced by IVL / Intercontinental Video Limited. VCDs are Video Compact Disc -- an alternate video format to DVD -- which is widely used 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 less info than DVDs, the video quality for VCDs is lower than for DVDs. The typical VCD has video quality somewhat better than a factory issued VHS tapes, but below the clarity of DVDs. VCDs are usually region-free, and they can be played on most standard DVD players -- but not bluray, 4K or newer DVD players. 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. It item comes with both discs, plastic jewel case, plus all box-art inserts. The audio is in the Mandarin language, with Chinese and English subtitles. The VCD comes from a smoke-free, climate controlled home. Overall Disc Condition: VERY GOOD.... This item has been opened and viewed. The disc has some signs of use -- some light surface marks/scratches -- but these in no way affect the play.
