New 4K restoration from the original 35mm colour interpositive
New video interview with director Wayne Wang

Original full-length chase sequence
Trailer
Newly improved English subtitle translation
Limited edition booklet with new writing by Aliza Ma

This deserves its own thread rather than being buried in the Radiance section -especially since it's Arbelos.

Not sure where I originally seen this maybe the cinema or maybe just VHS but I really liked it.

Not too bothered by that LE slipcover. Radiance say it's a site exclusive but Planet of Entertainment are listing it as are Diabolik (I assumed they had a deal with Radiance).

No one but Radiance will have the slipcover. I reported this mistake to Radiance yesterday and they got it removed from Amazon, and HMV, and I assume are working on the others.

Are they just getting a bog standard Amaray then?

You'd think they'd do a Scanavo/Obi version for the normal release. It'll look odd alongside all the other first editions.

This one isn't a Radiance title though, ti's a hosted/partner label one from Arbelos Films.

eBay

No leaflet I note I hope that's just been stolen by the seller and Arbelos haven't went down the road of excising it for non Radiance customers.

Criterion don't remove leaflets I've no ****ing idea why the BFI and others do it it just lessens the long term value.

I'd set General Zod on them if he were still flying around.
