One thing I would disagree with is the assertion that Sammo was cautious about bringing his harder fighting style to a modern picture for Winners & Sinners. The year before he made Carry On, Pickpocket, a modern-day action comedy that was far harsher and more violent than any of the Lucky Star series. I also don't think My Lucky Stars is that tough. Twinkle is the only one of the three that could be recognised as an "R-rated" type picture.

This made me go look up the trailer for Aces Go Places and now I want that.

Any of you with any influence at 88 any chance of that?

And I just watched the trailer for this as well, damn there seem to be a lot of little Sammo gems that I have never seen.

The Aces Go Places series is from Cinema City. So not much chance at the moment. Opinions vary but I liked the first two (directed by Eric Tsang) the best. Parts 3-5 are weaker entries despite being directed, respectively, by Tsui Hark, Ringo Lam, and Lau Kar-Leung! Not even sure if there are any decent DVDs of these.

Better chance for Carry On, Pickpocket. That's a Fortune Star title at least (though not Golden Harvest). Like Winners & Sinners it's a comedy with some (tough) final reel combat. It's not a GREAT film as such, but it's fair, and important in Sammo's career as a filmmaker.

Aces Go Places '97 is the only one in the series that I own... on VCD.

I only really enjoy that for Christy Chung.

Do Eureka actually ship early? The last two items pre-orders I had from them they shipped on Friday to arrive on Monday for release day.

I got an Eureka shipment notification the other day.

My last pre-order was shipped a week early.

Ok lads I think I might have cursed this for you all, it seems when ever I order direct with these labels it always seems to be the occasion they never ship early.

Still another week for early shipment.
According to Amazon at least it isn't out until next Monday.

There's a somewhat decent blu-ray (upscale) of those movies available from Germany. I cant remember the name of the company but I have episode 5. Probably still available through Amazon.

They usually ship before release date. In most cases for me usually the week before, so I expect them to ship my out later this week.
