Notes:The case wrongly states that there are 2 music videos ("Take The Power Back" from Rage Against The Machine music video is missing) when there is in fact only one, and wrongly states that there is a making of the music video.
The case also fails to include the Behind the Scenes Montage, Profile Clips of Director, Main Cast in the list of extras as well as to claim this disc to be region 0 when it in fact are Region 2 encoded. -

Notes:At the beginning of the film there is screen of Chinese text which summarises the situation between the two Koreas, telling why there are two Koreas etc. In other words it sets the scene and tries to give an explanation for the tension between the two countries. This is subtitled. It is also NOT present on the Hong Kong or Korean releases.
The English subtitles are identical to the Hong Kong subtitles, except the english speech is also (badly) subtitled. The english speech is not english subtitled in the Hong Kong release. In the Thai release during the english speech, the subtitles basically get to the same point, but don't match the words being said, even closely at times. -
