Better Luck Tomorrow (2003) - Blu-ray Forum

MifuneFan · 05-26-2021, 04:58 PM

Paramount will be releasing Justin Lin's Better Luck Tommorow on June 1st.

Quote:

Synopsis

Never underestimate an overachiever. To his classmates and teachers, high-schooler Ben Manibag (Parry Shen) appears to be the "model" student: a perfectionist and overachiever, destined for nothing less than graduating at the top of his class and then at-tending a prestigious college. But underneath this persona is a darker side -- Ben and his bored high-school buddies lead double lives, flying high in a world of petty crime and material excess in order to ease the pressures of "being perfect." It's a free-wheeling lifestyle that soon takes a downward spiral, leading to an unexpected end. An Official Selection at the Sundance Film Festival, Better Luck Tomorrow is a gripping, edgy and provocative film that rips the tranquil, well-manicured facade off of middle-class suburbia and cultural stereotypes

Hell yeah! Great film. However, June 1st? That's only a few days away.

DukeTogo84 · 05-26-2021, 05:11 PM

Also, how did you even find this? Wonder if this listing has been up for awhile and no one noticed or was it just put up? I can't seem to find any way of finding pre-orders on that site.

Looks like 1996's Eye for an Eye and 1997's Switchback are arriving the same day. Additionally, William Friedkin's Jade is also coming but only on DVD... I really hope that's not true.

I believe it was just listed. You can sort by Newest Products. They added a few hundred different titles (mostly DVD's) in the last 24 hours, so I had to go to page 7 to find a few coming in a Paramount June 1st wave. The site is reliable, so I'm sure they're coming, but who knows if the release date is accurate. It's simply what was provided to them by Paramount.

Better Luck Tomorrow
Flesh and Bone (1993)
Switchback (1997)
Eye for an Eye (1996)

Lin is awesome

Very cool. Have the DVD which is subpar. Look forward to upgrading.

Now people can complete their Fast and the Furious universe collection.

Been waiting a long time to get the final piece.

In terms of its R-rated tone and filmmaking style, it doesn't FEEL very much like a Fast and the Furious movie at all.

Gold Ranger · 05-29-2021, 10:37 AM

I recently bought the DVD

Oh well, time to upgrade!

DukeTogo84 · 06-01-2021, 01:23 PM

This and the other three Paramount titles are now in stock at Movie Zyng. Placed an order for all four. Let's see how it goes.

Psycho Judge Dredd · 06-02-2021, 06:35 AM

Han is the man! I've gotta see this. Plus I love indie movies like this, win/win.

You ever see Attack the Gas Station?
It's a Korean flick.

Gold Ranger · 06-02-2021, 06:49 AM

I'm surprized that this didn't get a Cover Art re-brand to make it sell better to the "normies"

Paramount probably can't use any F&F branding/messages for the movie. Although there's a kind-of connection to it for Han, it is not officially an F&F movie and of course owned by a completely different company.

Very cool about it coming to Blu-ray though! Long overdue.

willo007 · 06-02-2021, 09:54 PM

For a second I though the the thread title was A Better Tomorrow!, I was excited for a second.

Silent Snootch · 06-02-2021, 10:35 PM

Has anyone seen this yet? Even a preorder link as it obviously isn’t coming June 1st?

For sure! Very fun flick. I'll throw one your way too, ever see Young & Dangerous? I love those 90s HK movies, especially the first three. And bonus, Bio-Zombie starring Jordan Chan from those.
