This will be a day 1 buy, love this film.

[Telemachus]

It will be mine, oh yes it will be mine

[drush9999]

Hopefully has the unique fully extended version from the BD. That's the best way to watch the movie IMO

[Telemachus]

It's probably a 4k restoration of the 117 minute cut and they will have the other version on there just like Project A. I wonder if they can get the Miramax cut as an extra.

How come the first movie isn't coming out in 4K?

Who says it isn't? (For clarity, I have no insider knowledge)

I'll get it with the HMV discount but these prices are getting hefty.

So.. we're going to upgrade our entire Jackie collection, aren't we?

[BigDmo531]

I'm gonna end up having to just sell the Vol. 2 Shout Collection with all these upgrades. Kinda surprised Wheels on Meals is still waiting. I guess it's a rights thing

I'm sticking with the big guns for now, no way I'd upgrade the snorefest New Fist of Fury

[slask]

I gotta self half my blu-rays from 88 Films...
...and I suspect the other half won't last long.

Dang it.
I really must stop buying blu-rays. Too many titles I gave for granted would've never been released in UHD are popping up.

If I'm not mistaken the Jackie Chan Vol. 2 Shout edition is still the only edition worldwide which contains the HK extended cut in HD (the single release from 88 Films only contains an SD upscale). So, I would still hold onto it.

Same!

I'm really annoyed at how expensive these 88 limited editions are. Ever since Trump has targeted Canada, I've decided to support more UK companies like Arrow. But these 88 Jackie Chan releases (like Miracles 4k, for exemple) come to 70$ on Rarewaves (the cheapest I can find them to import). The last few Arrow limited editions I ordered (The dollars trilogy and The Great escape) all came to 53$ (Canadians, I mean), shipping included. It's a fairly large difference in price for what is essentially the same format and the same quality (Arrow's limited editions and 88 films' limited editions are pretty much neck and neck in how great they are, imo).

Unfortunately, while I can sometimes justify 53$ for a single movie, I can't when it comes to 70$. It's just too much for a single movie. I wonder why there is such a price difference between them? I really want to support 88 films (I already own so many of their Region A releases, including their incredible releases of Dragons Forever and Project A) but at that price, i'll have to stick to my shout releases or wait for Criterion to release Miracles.
