Premier Asia comentary track, why?

Hi

What is the point of the commentary track on the Premier Asia release of this film?

The two people doing it clearly know almost nothing about Thai history, Thai customs, or the Thai language.

They had nothing to do with the film so why the hell were they picked to do the commentary? A lot of what the say is either quite wrong and/or insulting to Thai people.

What could have been a great release is somewhat marred by these two idiots.

Bey Logan was used by Premier Asia/Hong Kong Legends on almost all of their releases for quite some time. He knows a lot about Hong Kong cinema and he works in the industry there, but I agree that he didn't have very much to contribute on this commentary.
I guess Premier Asia used him because they already knew him, and he was the easiest choise. They probably had some problems finding people who worked on the film, who also speak proper english.

The other guy, Mike Leeder, I know nothing about.
