So that pretty much seals the deal. I'm just gonna order my Jackie Chan's from the UK from this point on. They are doing a far better job than the bozos here in the states.

We've come a long way in quite a short time. From having almost nothing to having 13 of the classic Jackie Chan movies out in good quality on Blu. It's been really unexpected but much appreciated

Eureka have mentioned a few more titles potentially coming in 2019:

• Hand Of Death
• Last Hurrah For Chivalry
• Eastern Condors
• The Magnificent Butcher
• The Iron Fisted Monk
• Wheels on Meals
