The Bride With White Hair (Eureka) - October 26th 2020

[CelestialAgent]

is this the shortest period of time a BD has stayed in print, at least in recent years?

[Anthony Thorne]

Yeah this disc was first announced during the Covid lockdown.

Remember that?

Those were the days.

It says OUT OF STOCK on Eureka's site.

In case it isn't clear, there are no longer any copies of this on the Eureka site. But Ebay copies - of apparently the good, corrected edition - are still around and of a similar price. They'll gradually become harder to grab, so anyone who wants this one should make a move in the near future.

I asked if any other Asian / martial arts titles were about to disappear and they said the limited of KUNG FU CULT MASTER was nearly gone, but the regular would be around. They didn't mention anything else as being in danger.

I was waiting for the standard edition to go on sale in order to replace my first pressing version with the subtitle glitch, but since it is now oop in Eureka's own shop I snatched a copy from the Amazon market place and was lucky. Now I finally own the perfect version of one of my favorite HK movies.

Thanks. I'd imagine that the first pressing sold out long ago. Any new copies should be safe to purchase. Used copies may be more of a gamble but I assume any pressings beyond the first won't be in a slip, and will be safe. I just can't guarantee it.

[Kitano]

I see this is now "discontinued from the publisher" on Eureka's website...can we expect someone else to pick up the license, a NA rerelease, or even a UHD at some point in the not too distant future?

I am still waiting for part 2 to be released. A really underrated and underseen sequel that was very good, imho

Afaik Eureka considered the existing master of part 2 as of insufficient quality for their standards and therefor abandoned a release. Well, now that they have successfully released FUTURE COPS despite that master being below their standards, maybe they could reconsider.

Or do a 4K edition of BRIDE and include a BD of Part 2 as a bonus.

I could go for that

That's what Plaion did for the German release.

Unfortunately, no. It looks like they just quietly snuck it out there, a bit like how (IIRC) Severin quietly put out a "v3" version of their Blu for The Changeling, after their "v2" disc (publicly announced) was found to have its own issues.

Did the revised version still come with a slip?

Whoops! I just now saw this. My wife moved a lot of stuff around, so I can't confirm at the moment. My recollection is that it didn't come with a slip.
