    Japanese title is "Dead Heat".
    The Cantonese/Japanese/English track on disc 2 is incomplete. Some parts of it are English dubbed. It seems like they took the Cantonese/Japanese/English track from the shorter Japanese version of the film, synced it up with the longer International version of the film, then filled in the gaps with the English dubbed track.
