Both will have Dolby Vision. Labyrinth had it with one of Sony's releases, but I don't believe Dark Crystal ever had it. DC also had some issues that some are hoping get fixed with this one.

Wow. Incredible month. It's going to be a stacked month for HK films. The Shaw set from Shout, the films from Eureka, now this? Who knows what else might be coming out, but man amazing times.

[Warwick]

Ok Shout, you win.

I’ll preorder Hush from you. You didn’t have to twist my arm like that.

Rush and Dragon are unexpected. Count me in for both!

I believe that just leaves Prince of Darkness left for possible Carpenter UHD steelbooks, then? Well, outside of Halloween, but I wouldn't be surprised if Scream does that for next year.

I doubt I'll double/triple dip for the Labyrinth or Dark Crystal sets. I already have the previous 4K steelbooks (which have better artwork).

The Golden Harvest set sounds incredible, though. Some other nice announcements, too. Born on the Fourth of July is an amazing film and long overdue on 4K UHD.

That's one I'll buy again on UHD as long as they fix the bad encoding/color of their last release.....

Another John Carpenter 4K steelbook, Escape From New York (1981), I’m in and yeah let’s get Prince of Darkness (1987) next.

The Golden Harvest set looks awesome. Also love that it's a "Volume 1" meaning we could see more in the future. I missed Hush on Netflix and thought it might be a one and done thriller for me. The collection does look stacked with the B&W version. I'm eyeing it.

Yeah, it was confirmed a week or two ago that there would be two Golden Harvest sets coming out, with a total of 14 films combined.

On reddit the harvest box isn't coming till 2025, they've posted the others on Shouts site. Charging people 100-150 for snow globes they get made in Taiwan for $5 is really fleecing collectors.

Listings are going up.

In for Hush and Golden Harvest. Undecided on the Henson sets. It's a cool selection though no titles that get me excited.

[starsteam]

Site exclusive Stephen Chow collection just went up.

[Somebuddy]

Bleh. No new to blu releases means another shitty month.

[DukeTogo84]

There is even a Stephen Chow collection? Wow. This is getting nuts!

Celebrate the legendary career of Hong Kong master of mirth and mayhem Stephen Chow (Shaolin Soccer, Kung Fu Hustle) with this four-film collection!

Selected from Chow's '90s prime, these films showcase the unique comedy & action stylings that made Chow an international star of the screen. Get ready for laughs, thrills, and appearances from a bevy of Hong Kong legends, including Maggie Cheung, Anita Mui, Bill Tung, and more!

LOOK OUT, OFFICER! (1080p High-Definition Widescreen (1.85:1) / Cantonese DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Dual Mono / 92 min.)
A murdered police inspector comes back from the dead to help a clever and crafty cop avenge his death. As the duo investigate the case, the comedic complications – as well as the thrills – multiply.

JUSTICE, MY FOOT! (1080p High-Definition Widescreen (1.85:1) / Cantonese DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Dual Mono / 99 min.)
This rollicking period farce set in Imperial China finds Chow as a shyster lawyer with an equally eccentric, kung-fu ace of a wife, hilariously played by the great Anita Mui (The Heroic Trio, Drunken Master II).

THE MAD MONK (1080p High-Definition Widescreen (1.85:1) / Cantonese DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Dual Mono / 89 min.)
When the arrogant god Dragon Fighter Lo Han (Chow) pushes his fellow deities too far, he is punished by being transformed into an animal and banished to Earth until he can change the fates of three ne'er-do-wells. Maggie Cheung (Irma Vep, Police Story) also stars in this heavenly fantasy.

OUT OF THE DARK (1080p High-Definition Widescreen (1.85:1) / Cantonese DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Dual Mono / 83 min.)
When supernatural events overwhelm a Hong Kong apartment building, and those guys in New York City won't answer your call, look no further than Stephen Chow! Our hero plays a most unlikely paranormal investigator who steps in to save the building's residents from their harrowing haunting.
