A Look At The Two Disc Release Of Dog Bite Dog

As already mentioned by Peter the key feature to either edition of Dog Bite Dog is the stellar - and English subtitled - commentary track involving all the key behind the camera personnel plus a small group of fans asking them questions and offering comments. It's a bold approach that works remarkably well.

The second disc is filled to the gills with good stuff as well, all of it left as raw as suits this sort of film. Outside the photo gallery and an eight minute reel of deleted scenes all of the rest of the disc is filled with what essentially comes down to b-roll, behind the scenes footage, broken up and presented thematically. There is an over-arching feature that runs slightly over an hour; a nine minute sequence that features Soi directing his actors through the initial assassination sequence - notably encouraging star Edison Chen to be more rough with the elderly woman he is supposed to be killing; four minutes of Chen practicing his Cambodian; seventeen minutes devoted to showcasing how remarkably light things were behind the scenes on the set of this very dark film with cast and crew generally clowning around to keep loose; and finally three minutes taking us through the site preparation and shooting of the back alley pursuit and fight sequence. Just as the commentary track was remarkably bold these behind the scenes features are also remarkably intimate, showcasing Soi's working style in unusual detail.
