The specs for the R2 Holland HKL Platinum, R2 UK HKL Platinum, and R4 Australia HKL Platinum editions are slightly wrong.
They list this feature:
"A Classic Re-visited with Donnie Yen and Bey Logan (Split screen commentary) (21:03)"
Which I cannot find on my R2 UK Cine Asia or R4 Australia HKL Platinum dvds.

Question, the 6.1 track on the Australian disc is said to be only a 5.1 track (mistakenly identified on the disc, but mentioned on the rear cover).
Is the Cine Asia the same?
Also, is the Donnie Yen/Bey Logan featurette not on the audio commentary menu selection screen?

[Frank_Chan]

Oh nevermind, the featurette is tucked away on the last page of the audio commentary selection menu. I assumed it would be on the special features menu.

The audio selection menu lists the DTS track as 6.1 but the back cover lists is as 5.1

Thank you!
