I'm reading through the booklet and, as interesting as it is, it is let down, once again, by the lack of proof reading.

I've never seen that error made before. My personal pet peeve is when people abbreviate "Should have" with "should of" instead of "should've".

Agreed.

The issue lies with the dying art of proof reading though. Sadly, mistakes like this are common throughout the media these days and this isn't the first that I have seen in a booklet from 88 or Eureka.

Just wait until the articles are written in text speak.

I watched On The Run today, enjoyed it quite a lot.

Finally got around to seeing this transfer. It really feels like a lot of color is missing compared to the DVD back in the day, but the general quality makes up for it a bit. The booklet unfortunately is as error-ridden as always, beginning with the TOC ("Interview with director Patricia Ha"...).

This was a blind buy for me. Caught me by surprise. I had only seen Yuen Biaos more comedic martial arts films. Ended up loving the movie. Also highly pleased that there was no j-card taped on the box itself and the information is actually printed on. Would like to see similar style boxes in the future!

The book is pretty confusing.

On page 6 it mentions the interviews underneath the essay title, but the interviews don't actually start until page 22.

Pages 6 - 21 is the 'On the Run and Hong Kong Noir' essay; then the two interviews are in order (pages 22 - 69).

Yeah I'd rather they left out the fluff like lobby cards and posters and got their booklet QC up to snuff because there are serious issues with every. Single. One.

Finished watching this movie for the first time, its a stylish chase action (guns, not martial arts) movie yet Biao kind of felt like a backseat character although he wasn't doing his usual traits - much like Jackie Chan in Crime Story

I liked it but don't think I'll be rewatching unless its for the cinematography which I loved as a hobby photographer
