The Official 88 Films Thread

Then those posters are misleading. Nuff said.

They will also release Royal Warriors, and that's where the question is posed... Will they release part 3 and 4 too? Like I said, it's a rumor.

That's how the series was marketed internationally. I wonder if they felt Royal Warriors was an easier film to sell?

[chen lung]

Hong Kong–English title: Royal Warriors
International–English title: In the Line of Duty

Hong Kong–English title: Yes, Madam
International–English title: In the Line of Duty Part 2


As Killer Meteor says, it would appear to be international marketing, even though the films were released in opposite order in Hong Kong.

Think that's confusing? In the UK they were released as follows--

Yes, Madam = Police Assassins 2
Royal Warriors = Police Assassins
In the Line of Duty III = Force of the Dragon
In the Line of Duty IV = In the Line of Duty.

Looks like Vinegar Syndrome might be releasing it

Thats interesting as I thought 88Films would have the US rights and Eureka have the UK rights. Will this mean that 88Films is not releasing it in the US? Kinda dumb if the ITLOD US releases will be split between two companies.

Dont know why I even care as I will stick to the Eureka releases anyway. Cost too much importing from the US.

Nope, 88 Films definitely have the US rights since they did tease it earlier and it was corroborated by collaborators already. Just because Tony Stella did artwork previously does not mean Vinegar Syndrome will release it.

I might have missed it, but where was it corroborated by collaborators? It's probably going to be 88 Films, but man funny things have happened with these HK titles and labels. Plus, VS seems to love Cynthia Rothrock. Still, my money is also on 88 Films.

Here's a tweet from Brandon Bentley first pointing out 88's tease of Yes Madam. There are a few forum posts here as well which hint at it too if you dig around.

Righting Wrongs is now shipping from 88

[filmlover22]

I don't care who does it, but a 5 film box set of ITLOD series with a book(let) would have been nice.

Oh yeah, I completely forgot about this and remembering seeing this. So that pretty much confirms it's 88. I wonder if they are going to release the 2nd and 3rd film as well.

Hopefully that means that Terracotta will be shipping it soon.

I realise this is probably skirting the line a little in this thread but I'd have assumed with this recent BBFC rating that The Last Hunter was a shoe-in for the 88 Italian Collection but apparently it was submitted by Treasured Films Limited, a company I've never heard of before. Just curious if anyone else has heard of this company?

Not sure where else to post this but HMV in Bexleyheath has reopened after an absence of a few years. I managed to visit the store this afternoon and they had the following in stock:

Black Cat LE
Crime Story (slipcase)
Dragons Forever (slipcase)
Miracles (slipcase)
The Protector (slipcase)
Robotrix LE
The Seventh Curse LE (alongside the regular slipcase version)
Armour of God LE

Might be useful to someone since many are now OOP.

Are they finally shipping orders again? I know they had supplier issues that were causing major delays.

Any plans for the slasher classics line, its been quiet for a bit.
