[sonicyogurt]

The Jackie Chan Collection: Volume 2 Blu-ray

A followup to vol. 1 looks to be on the way in April.

Winners and Sinners / Wheels On Meals / The Protector / Twinkle, Twinkle Lucky Stars / Armour of God / Armour of God II: Operation Condor / Crime Story / City Hunter

[DukeTogo84]

Ok, we need some detectives on the case! I see Crime Story and the Protector, but don't know the others.

[drush9999]

I'm guessing it'll be out of these lot:
Project A, The Protector, Armour of God, Project A Part II, Miracles, Operation Condor, City Hunter, Crime Story

[Joppers]

Armour of God and Wheels on Meals on the left hand side.

[Walter Kafka]

Yes! This is more my bag! City Hunter is so much fun. (With three absolutely gorgeous actresses and that famous scene.)

Knew what you were linking to without even clicking it.

Better! I didn't have to link it! If you know, you know! But I love the whole movie. It's a hoot. Die Hard Jackie on a boat.

But it better be the long version. The TUBI version is missing some, ahem, offensive humor.

My best guess:
Middle - Crime Story
Top left - Armour of God
Bottom left - Twinkle Twinkle Lucky Stars
Top right - Armour of God 2: Operation Condor
Bottom Right - The Protector

[Walter Kafka]

Yeah, Crime Story came out in 1993

[fred25_Ca]

Damn, this seems like a strong set! Wheels on meals and Armour of God? And Crime story??
I do feel that some of those deserved to have the deluxe treatment and be released by themselves but i'll take it haha.
Wow, Shout are on fire. I expected a much lamer set. This is 10 times stronger than the first set. People who will have pick up the first one and will find it average are in for a surprise for this second set. I wonder if it will have as many movies as the first set. Also really curious if a third set will follow. The best years of Jackie Chan were between 1980 and 1993, so a third set would never be able to compete but i'd still be curious.

Edit: I really hope they have Armor of god 2 in this too, it would be a shame to only have one of two titles. I really expected Arrow to release stuff like Wheels on meals. Hopefully we get both Project A from them at the very least.

I think you're right on most of them. Only one that is open for debate is if it's Twinkle Twinkle Lucky Stars or Wheels on Meals.

[MifuneFan]

This is great. Didn't expect it to soon after the first set.

It's the same pose as this from the Twinkle Twinkle Lucky Stars cover

[Grethiwha]

I picked up the volume 1 set since – though a lot of the titles had been released in the UK, I didn't own any of them previously, and they were mostly all blind buys, titles I wasn't interested enough in to buy as standalones.

This is a stronger set of films no doubt but I will have to pass since I've seen most of these and own my favourites in their standalone deluxe UK Eureka/88 editions. I haven't seen The Protector or Crime Story, but if I decide I need to own those I will go for the 88 versions.

Well that answers that. Now I'm curious which of the two is the better film as I've seen neither.

I hope Wheels on Meals is included in this set but was going off the artwork matching the twinkle cover I have similar to this:

I’m not 100% sure about the top right being Operation Condor, it’s just so familiar but I can’t put my finger on it.

Yeah, looks like you were right about Twinkle, now it's just the upper right we are not 100% on.

[MifuneFan]

Since the films range from 1983, one of the films would have to be from that year too, no? None of the ones listed are from there, so I'm guessing the top right one is?

Wheels on Meals is definitely the better film. Sometimes called the Three Dragons Trilogy, this film along with Project A and Dragons Forever are Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao collaborating at their peak.

Twinkle Twinkle is an odd choice for this set, unless it also comes with the first two Lucky Stars movies. This is the third in that trilogy, which features an ensemble cast and Jackie doesn't even have a huge role in this one.

Edit: Since Vol 1 has 7 films (and 5 pictures), and Winners & Sinners (Lucky Stars 1) was released in 1983, it would make sense for this set to include the whole Lucky Stars trilogy...

Interesting. Didn't know it was part of a trilogy. My Lucky Stars is with Criterion so that won't be part of this set.
