Really intrigued to see what the extra special means ��

Well it's £25 on Amazon so maybe a book of some sort?

I'm hoping the 3 hour version but as I understand Fortune Star said they don't have all the footage?

[Yautja_Warrior]

Hell yes. Wondered how long it would take for this one. Thank you 88.

[Thunderleg]

Wow. This'll be the highest profile (and best) Jackie release 88 films have done. NO PRESSURE THOUGH.

Gimme the longest cut possible through all the various releases that exist pls.

If they found the 3 hour cut I'd pay £55.

YEEESSS!!! Merry fu*!#•g Christmas!

With all these incredible 88Films HK releases this year and JCVD's HK influenced movies coming over the next few months; this has to be one of the best years for Martial Arts Action Movie releases ever in the UK!
That's not including all the fantastic films Eureka have blessed us with too, I can still see a few surprises from Eureka before the year is out. Made in Hong Kong in Sept, Bride With White Hair in Oct so fingers crossed another 2 for November and December.

Top 3 Chan.

Probably a long shot, but it would be great if Leeder could track someone down who worked on the film to join in on a commentary. Worth an ask ;0)

I wonder if it is possible to get Jackie Chan to do a exclusive interview with them. He would be the ideal person to interview seeing that he is not only the star but also the director of the film.

There was a Jackie interview on the HKL DVD where he showed the editing process for one of the film's key scenes.

Wooohoooo!!!!

[WaverBoy]

GREAT NEWS!!!!!!! So many of Jackie’s neglected early gems are being rescued by 88 Films. What a wonderful time to be a Chan fan.

Yeah! A new interview would be cool, but I don't think Jackie's a fan of talk tracks, has he ever done one? The commentary on the Gorgeous DVD is just bits of interview.

I was thinking more along the lines of a stunt member or crew member, someone who could offer some fresh trivia. I've just come across one with Leeder and Ronnie Yu, plus Bey Logan would bring in a cast or crew member every now and again. Just an idea ;0)

4K UHD of HK and Export cut incoming... my guess. ha ha ha!

As much as I love these films and want them to be of the highest quality possible, the less I have to hear the Jackie of today open his mouth, the better.

Would definitely be in for someone from the crew, though!
