Was trying to source this from Hong Kong, but having a HMV steelbook is probably the best news I could have hoped for.

I don't know anything about this movie, but that is one fantastic looking steelbook.

I'm sort of interested.

Trailer:

And yes, the steelbook looks awesome. I dig Chinese movies.

Anything by Stephen Chow!

OMG!! ~1:25-1:45 in the trailer, I didn't need to understand a word of it, I laughed myself silly anyway

Will definitely be getting this one (as soon as Cudz start a GB, that is

), great looking SB and movie seems to be right up there with his other movies!

Yeah, that's Stephen Chow.

The Director's Cut of Shaolin Soccer is soooo good. I don't like soccer at all, but that movie ... that ****ing movie... So funny.

Kung Fu Hustle almost killed me.

Those movies should be listed in the dictionary under "hilarious".

This film only seems to be available with huge P&P (amazon.com/ca, yesasia) or an expensive steelbook. Is there a 'normal' option available where you pay for the film and not scalpers?

It's a pre-order anyway. Don't expect low prices for it right now.

And it is available directly from amazon.com. They will of course screw you over with customs fees + postage in case you are from Europe.

Just got lowered to 10 pounds.

And it seems they made a mistake on their "Jack Reacher" (5 pounds w/ any item) offer. When you buy that one (they only do free shipping for orders >= 10 pounds and don't see 9.99 pounds as being enough - zavvi actually does that), it will only ask for 4 pounds.

Amazon UK has PM'd HMV... and for those living outside EU - it's merely £8.33 / $10.40 (before shipping).

With this being a fantastic movie, steelbook and above all Region Free... I highly recommend it.

Ordered this from Amazon UK and finally received it after waiting what felt like an eternity!

Can't wait to watch this movie. It's a blind buy, the trailer looked promising and I've heard many good things about this film. I'm sure I won't be disappointed.
And lastly, I'm glad there was no damage to the steel, it was shipped in an envelope.

I know there's a 3D blu ray of The Mermaid. Would be great if they included it in the steelbook. Any pics of the steelbook?

I don't think I mentioned it but it's a very nice steel.
