Picture: The presentation is presented in a 16:9 Wide screen. The picture seems fine apart from the 'grain' effect, sure this effect lots of movies depending on it's age, but I haven't see a decent edition of Attack the Gas Station with crystal clear picture. I think the Mei Ah (Hong Kong) Release has a worse picture than this, we might follow up this review with a comparison.

Audio: Nice clear audio track, strangely only one audio track, most movies are usually out with DTS track or even a dubbing track, but being the Korean edition DVD there is only its original track.

Subtitles: Clear subtitles, some grammar errors (as expected with with near all imports) but with most DVD's optional subtitles are white with a black outline. But this spectrum DVD has white subtitles, with a black outline and then a white outline!? Just see the pictures.

As you can predict all the extra footage on the DVD has no english subtitles.

Bonus Content: A nice handful of extras but unfortunately the extras all have no subtitles. The TV Spots are amusing and the Theatrical Trailer is worth a watch, because its quite weird at one point the trailer turns into a strange clay animation sequence, the four leading characters turn into little models and just go about causing mayhem!

The Highlight real is exactly what you think it is; a 3 minute clip showing all the best bits of the movie.

The 'Making Film' is good, but also pointless unless you understand Korean.

The talent files are also pointless since they are only in Korean, but they are worth looking at as the background music is the music from the movie.

Personal Thoughts: A Pleasant DVD, sure it would be great if all the features were subtitles, but hey can't ask for all! The DVD is good, nothing should put you off watching the movie.

Final Verdict: BUY

Picture: 4/5
Subtitles: 2/5
Features: 3/5
