There are two English subtitle tracks (one subtitles, the other captions for the hearing impaired,) and there is some English dialogue in the movie, but I cannot find or explain an English audio track. I've seen this movie numerous times on various movie channels, and I don't recall encountering an English dub on any of those viewings either. I wouldn't mind checking it out, for perversity's sake, but I'm not really buying that it's there.
Disk looks good, and is anamorphic. When i put the DVD in my player, a screen appears with two options: PLAY MOVIE or MAIN MENU (or their equivalents.) Oddly enough, when I just hit the play movie option, no subtitle tracks are "on." Maybe it is the settings on my Sony player, but it seems a bit odd. I'm not sure of the purpose of that screen, but it seems to be the opposite of the forced trailers that Disney was including a year or so ago.
Tarantino's "intros" and "outros" are ported over from the VHS (where I originally saw this movie.)
All in all, it is much nicer presentation than most HK DVDs I've seen, and most Wong DVDs, not including Criterion's In The Mood For Love (and presumably the other SE versions of that title not available for Region 1.)
