So what company actually produced the film? I mean -- like I want the soundtrak for 'Sky Captain" and it is only available through SonyMusicStore.com site, that I have been able to find, because they produced the music.
So maybe the film-maker web site will have a link for it?

Hmmm.. you're right. I'm finding places that have the DVD - but no mention of the soundtrak (by Cantonese Sound?) anywhere.
FG

quote: Perhaps the most unusual aspect of the film is it's soundtrack, for once it's real, not dubbed on later. So rare is it, even now, for Hong Kong movies to record the soundtrack at the time. For filmmakers, it's money saving exercise - no need to lug around the expensive sound equipment, and you get to overdub a Mandarin soundtrack later (and therefore gain most of China and Taiwan as an audience for your movie). It's refreshing and even a little disturbing to hear the actors true voices, undistorted by posthumous recording sessions in stifled, claustrophobic sound studios.
Not sure what they mean by this

I think it means that a typical Hong Kong movie will dub over instead of doing live sounds. The soundtrack means the literal defenition in this case, the sounds recorded with the movie, not just the music.

Well, I've failed miserably finding the soundtrack, but for those interested, this is a great trailer.
