That link says one of the Japanese DVDs may have a complete Cantonese track and is English friendly, could that be true?

I was wondering whether to pick up the Aus BD or not as I only have the R1 DVD.

Well, shit - here I thought there was some good news. This totally needs to find it's way to the wish list forum. . . .

Can't wait for Drunken Master. Day 1

Eureka are doing them in the UK it seems. Probably better and cheaper releases for those who are region-free. I'm on the fence. I just started getting more into Asian action cinema but not sure martial arts is my thing yet.

Only Drunken Master is confirmed from Eureka, no mention of SITES.

Is the Twilight Time SITES/D.MASTER a combo release? I.e. both in same package?

My first assumption would say separately, but if TT is doing something different, it might be like that Japanese digipack with both movies.

I would assume it would be a double-bill, similar to what they did with Tony Rome and Lady in Cement. Torn between this one and the Eureka.

You'll get there.

SITES will probably still be censored in any future UK release too.

What is cut? And IF there is a UK release at all.

The Cat vs Snake scene.

Be interesting if they manage an Isoloated Score for this - not least because half the music comes from Jean Michel Jarre and John Williams!

I really hope those are temp covers and not the real deal that Twilight will be releasing of DM and SITES. Those are atrocious! At least DM is the same one that has been used since the Columbia dvd. Surprised they didn't just use the same picture of Jackie dressed in black (that was used for the US Supercop release and pretty much every cover after). Cause, there are probably only two photo shoots of JC ever taken and they just want to make sure they get good use out of them, right? Twilight need to step up their game cause those two covers do not build confidence in me that these will get any kind of respectful treatment.

and the UK gets this (this is what I would call a respectful cover):

("Oh well, it`s just a Jackie Chan movie. Why don't we re-use those same photos of him in that black outfit. He looks so good in it. No one will care!"):

Special Features: Isolated Music & Effects Tracks / Drunken Master Audio Commentary with Film Historians Ric Meyers and Jeff Yang

I just picked up AU Drunken Master at the B2G1 sale from Target.com for $14.99. Packaging says Region B but its Region Free.
I knew an official US release announcement would hit as soon as UPS dropped it off.

Shame about the cover image.. and dual-release.

[Geoff D]

Got the UK Drunken Master (which is awesome) but this might be worth getting just for the uncut SITES.

[Magic Monkey]

I'll probably wait for SITES from Eureka.

This dual-release (in one disc?), 2 movies + bonus features = lower bitrate.

And again, really shame about the cover, it's really ugly and plain.

[Markgway]

Horrific cover art.

[El_Fez]

What the hell is it about Twilight Time? They seem to seek out and use the worse possible cover artwork.

I've already got the UK version of Drunken Master. If it had just been Snake in Eagle's Shadow, I'd be more eager. But with the double disc? I'll wait until a sale.
