Yesssssss

[revoloution]

Ho-Li Shiiiit!

[Drunken+Master]

Finally! Long time coming, hopefully it will be worth the wait!

[gap]

Great news. I might skip the LE though as the booklets for the other Asian LEs have been poor.

Day One

Must have! need to have! Love that artwork.

I can't see on the BBFC website that they've been resubmitted, so I'm guessing MLS is still cut.

[Chorake]

Great that they're including the longer Taiwanese cut of Twinkle, Twinkle. Hope the shorter export version of My Lucky Stars is included as well.

And now I don't have to seek out the old Fox DVD for the third dub of Winners & Sinners I guess. Winners & Sinners and My Lucky Stars both have three dubs a piece (export, Media Asia, Fortune Star)

Eureka have been good at releasing everything uncut (bar animal cruelty) so far, so think we're good

Yeah, I subsequently surmised in the Eureka thread that they just haven't been submitted yet and/or the BBFC haven't put up the new info in the database.

It was my kneejerk UK censorship annoyance kicking in.


As it is, not one I'll be dipping in for anyway (not a huge fan and am happy with the HKL DVDs, even though MLS has the stupid cut), but I know these have been on a lot of peoples' wishlist for a LONG time.

[cooey]

Do Eureka take payment on ordering or on despatch?

What cuts were made (to the previous version)?

[dex14]

Beautiful.

[Jompa]

These films are funny. They even have a 4K scan. I will buy it.

Hence waiting for Amazon to list.
