This is Supercop from 1993 which is technically Supercop 2 in HK. Such a confusing series...

No, it is PS III: Supercop and is the Canadian Blu-ray with Chan as the main star. Supercop 2 is actually properly titled in the US and Hong Kong and Michelle Yeoh is the main star.

I see that the blu-ray can be had cheap for Bronx. As soon as I grab it, it's going to get upgraded.

What are the rights issues with Rumble in the Bronx? It's not on streaming.

With Warner via New Line. Don’t hold your breath for an upgrade.

Welp, that was a waste of $5. Is there any Blu-ray release of the real Supercop 2? Having a hard time finding any info.

Is there a DVD anywhere in the world of the uncut Rumble in the Bronx?

Nope. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone is trying to work on a release now though.

Just the out of print Taiwan release, Warner has the rights now in the US and Southeast Asia & Japan.

To any Jackie Chan fans in Australia- SBS On Demand currently has First Strike available, presented in its original Hong Kong cut. The source quality isn’t the greatest, possibly taken from a release print with the presence of burnt in bilingual subtitles, but it’s still the full version.

That's interesting because they previously had the Miramax cut available. Same with Rumble in the Bronx.

I'll definitely be watching it. Here's hoping that one day we get the Eureka or 88 Films treatment of First Strike.

I also checked Rumble in the Bronx, and that is only available in its New Line Cinema version, unfortunately.
