Soundtracks: English DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Stereo, German DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Stereo

Both tracks are stereo and not mono (same question for the DVD)

Interview with Phillip Ko (English/Chinese/Taiwanese (don't know which), optional German and English subtitles and ALWAYS burnt in English subtitles when he's talking in Chinese/Taiwanese which is practically always) (6:30) -> in the opening sequence of the movie he is credited as "Philip Ko".

Does it say in the menu he is speaking Taiwanese? It seems odd because he is not from Taiwan and it 's not his native tongue.

I will get to the other questions later ASAP. But I really think DVDcompare should make the remark that this "Blu-ray" version is in fact a fraud. There is nothing HD on it. Nothing. It should be noted to unsuspecting buyers. Just my opinion of course (yes, I know you make Caps-a-holic-comparisons for quality check. But this is really another thing...) I forked over 40 Swiss Francs for this. It's the most disgraceful release I have EVER seen advertised as a Blu-ray). And as you know me: I'm not complaining just because of some faults. This is a disgrace (especially for the price for
full blown HD release, it's a joke!).

I've watched a mediabook unboxing of another similar title MISSION THUNDERBOLT. The BD is a BD-R and likely Region ALL.



Magnum Thunderbolt could have the same specs.

To Taiwanese: I just added it as a possibility because PowerDVD identified it as such. Doesn't mean to be accurate of course.

I'll leave it as it is stated now in the comparison page.
