Well it's a very strong selection of films that all had very nice 2K remasters come out on very nice UK editions over the last few years:
I blind-bought most of these as they were coming out. I've become immersed in this classic Hong Kong cinema renaissance that's thanks to the surge in top-notch home media releases of these films that started coming almost out of nowhere since a few years ago, and it's been a trip.
For anyone who hasn't been importing these, to get all of these excellent restorations in one purchase is pretty sweet. You miss out on My Lucky Stars, but like I say that particular film isn't a big loss (I'm sure Criterion will give that a standalone release
), and with Crime Story and The Protector (which I haven't got around to seeing) you'll already be ahead of me.
For my money, the best titles in this set are Wheels on Meals, Armour of God, and Winners & Sinners, all 8/10.
