Certainly possible, but they didn’t remove the other four website exclusives.

Because they're already released/shipping, nothing to do with being a website exclusive Dragon Fist is a full on pre-order and they won't want to take the hit on the discount.

Well, it'd likely be 40% off the "coming soon" 888.88 GBP list price at this point anyways.

The site exclusive was made live to order during last week for £29.99…

Received the store exclusive yesterday, and nice deluxe edition again from 88.

Also received Dragon Fist today along with The Lady Assassin.

This is a superb release. Beautiful transfer, day-for-night issues resolved, decent subtitles.

A big improvement on my old Eastern Heroes DVD, which was a 4:3 video transfer further cropped to 16:9!

How bright the subtitles are? 88 Films often make subtitles too bright with HDR (as in Fist of Legend and The Tai Chi Master 4K, while the subs on Witchfinder General and The Blood on Satan's Claw 4K were perfectly fine).

This was a huge improvement from any previous release. The picture was vibrant, the scenery looked beautiful and the colours popped nicely. Fun Kung Fu movie and an interesting look at early Chan.

Does anyone know when 88 will add either of the non-website exclusive UHD releases to their web store?

I’m surprised it’s not up already to be honest.

I'd guess that once the store exclusives are sold out, the Kung Fu Bob edition will be made available.

It shouldn't be as it's for sale everywhere else on the same release date, plus usually 88 list the standard version alongside the store exclusive at the same time.

In Dolby Vision, they appeared to be slightly brighter than normal.

That's true

I actually wrote them two emails about the Dragon Fist Kung Fu Bob variant shop listing, got no answer.

This movie has another great example of how well James Tien can perform some shapes when choreographed and directed well. I think he looks the best he ever did in Spiritual Kung Fu but performs well here, a big improvement from The Big Boss. I wonder what Shaolin Boxers will be like, I imagine back to basher style.

Woah, very weird pan with that type of lens at 30 minutes and 30 seconds!



Lots of warping on pans with weird lenses in this movie.

I prefer the English subtitles on Shout! Factory's Blu-ray from The Jackie Chan Collection Vol. 1.
