Cool to see lots of Hong Kong films coming out on blu in the US. Now if someone would just release Hard Boiled and The Killer I'd be so happy.

Haha. Yeah, it didn't even occur to me that it wasn't Dragonslayer. Just saw the poster of the Dragon even though it said Dragonheart and breathed a sign of relief that Dragonslayer was finally coming. I was screaming in my head once it dawned on me that it was actually Dragonheart.

Probably the most wanted HK films. Kino said a label picked them up and hinted that it was Criterion, while others have said that the licensor isn't willing to license them out, so who knows what's up.

Dragonslayer desperately needs an upgrade. Would love to see it go from dvd straight to 4k. Such a well made film with some amazing special effects.

Well wit the bad news that Dragonslayer is not coming in February, you know what would make things better? News that A Simple Plan is coming.

Oh boy a bunch of martial arts stuff from SF now

I wish Shout! would license Stallones' disaster flick "Daylight" from Universal for 4K UHD. The current blu-ray is a DNR, over sharpened mess. Turbine released it on standard blu-ray last year with remastered video and new Dolby Atmos and Auro 3-D audio tracks. There was a rumor earlier this year of a possible U.S. release (no particular label mentioned) but no info since.

The "Rocky" 4K UHD set is due to be released in Feb., so releasing other Stallone movies that still haven't hit the format ("Demolition Man", "Cobra", "Tango and Cash", "Get Carter") on the same day would be some good cross promotion to boost sales.

That's funny. Thing is, my cart total was almost $200.00, yet I didn't go for the free shirt. Guess I just didn't think it was scary, though they had a thing you could click that states you thought it's too scary.

Yup. A day late and a dollar short Shout.

I deliberately passed on the shirt. I'd never wear it, so it was pointless for me.

Those damned bandwagon jumpers.

I don't recall what size they had, if they had my size or not. Not sure if they did I would have worn it. But I just didn't want it. Didn't think it looked that great.

I'd say they are right on time. Releasing a lot of good titles right in the middle of the HK craze in the US.

[MifuneFan]

It looks like Scream Factory will be releasing Slumber Party Massacre and Slumber Party Massacre II in a double-feature 4K UHD set in February!

(I suppose it could be a situation like the War of the Worlds / When Worlds Collide set, where only one is in 4K, and the other is on BD only.)

[Member-222782]

I'm not into martial arts or HK action movies but I'm not really worried about a genre avalanche because I know none of these labels will focus solely on HK. Keep it varied and don't forget about us slasher and horror fans and everybody will be happy.

Why am I having a hard time believing this?

[xXx$uicide_Ma$terxXx]

Wish they would just leave the first movie on its own.

[CrowKiller]

Nice on SPM 1 and 2, but still need three. Hopefully these are two separate cases and discs. Not the end of the world I guess, just like the OG poster art for both.
