Tai Seng have ported over all of the supplements from their two-disc standard definition release though sadly none of them appear in high definition. First up is a commentary track with Tai Seng's Frank Djeng, Atlas Comics editor in chief Jeff Rogan and Hong Kong cinema enthusiast and writer Bey Logan. Seeing as none of the participants were actually involved in the making of the film, you can't expect an insider's take on the production. Instead, this is very literally three fans sitting around watching the film and giving their take on the film. They do provide some trivia and background information on the cast and crew where they can but for the most part this is really a fan track and it doesn't offer much insight into the movie.

From there check out the seven short featurettes that run about three minutes each. Here you'll get a look at some pre-production and production action as you're taken behind the scenes of the film. These are very brief but reasonably interesting as they give you an idea of the scope of this project and what went into making it. The eight featurette is the more substantial making of documentary that clocks in at roughly eighteen minutes in length. This is a more general look at the production's history and it includes some nifty fight choreography footage and behind the scenes clips. None of these featurettes are particularly deep but neither is the film they're covering and they do at least provide a glimpse into the creative process responsible for birthing the picture. What's rather irritating is that many of the interview clips in this featurette are also seen in the separate interviews on the disc.

Also included on the disc are interviews with Donnie Yen, Nicholas Tse, Shawn Yue, and Wilson Yip. These range from thirteen to twenty-five minutes in length and all the cast members to discuss their work on the film, what drew them to the project and what it was like on set as well as how they feel about the finished product. Despite the overlap with the featurettes, these are fairly interesting and Yen's thoughts on the fight choreography are worth listening to as are Yip's thoughts on the casting and on his hopes of franchising the film.

A selection of deleted scenes are also found, with a combined total of just under eight minutes in length. Most of these are actually characterization bits that give more depth to some of the players in the film and they actually might have helped the film had they been left in. These are in Cantonese with optional subtitles. They certainly give Tiger more depth. Rounding out the extra features on this Blu-ray release are the film's theatrical trailer, a teaser trailer, the American theatrical trailer, a TV spot, a still gallery, a couple of minutes of random footage (set to music with no dialogue or context) from the film's premier at Cannes and it's Hong Kong premiere, animated menus and chapter selection sub-menus.

If you liked Dragon Tiger Gate on standard def DVD, you'll love it on Blu-ray but if you haven't seen the film yet it's probably best to go with a rental first to test it out. There's plenty of action here and the movie moves along at a good pace but this film is pure style over substance and sadly little more than that. It's worth a watch and it's a fun time killer, but far from a modern classic.
