Hm, any ideas, if Amazon.com will drop the price on In The Line of Duty boxset? Diabolik has it for 65 but the shipping to where I live is pricey, DeepDiscount costs a bit more but the shipping is cheaper, I can probably throw the set in an Amazon order and likely come out cheaper, but still kinda curious...

Bonus Features for Magnificent Warriors (88 Films USA):

- 1080p HD Presentation [2.35:1] of the original theatrical cut (Including the film's original theatrical ending) from a brand-new 2K restoration from the Original Camera Negative
- 2.0 DTS-HD MA English Soundtrack
- 2.0 DTS-HD MA Cantonese Soundtrack with newly translated English Subtitles
- Audio commentary with Asian Cinema expert Frank Djeng
- English Opening Credits Sequence
- Interview with Actress Michelle Yeoh
- Interview with Stunt Coordinator Tung Wai
- Hong Kong Trailers
- English Trailer
- Stills Gallery
- Double-sided artwork featuring new art by Sean Longmore and Original Poster Art
- Double-sided A3 fold-out Poster
- Collector's Booklet featuring new writing by Matthew Edwards
- Limited Edition O-card Slipcase

Only differences in disc bonus features compared to Eureka are that the 88 Films has the English opening credits sequence while the Eureka has a Mike Leeder & Arne Venema commentary and the 1984 Guy Laroche commercial featuring Jackie Chan and Michelle Yeoh (which 88 Films is including with Police Story 3 instead).

EDIT: Eureka’s trailer mentions interviews with Richard Ng and Lowell Lo while their site doesn’t? Hmmm.

Picked up Dragons Forever blu last weekend, never really looked into it much beforehand, but wow 88 went all out this release packaging wise, quite impressed!

Thanks, forgot to mention I'm not in the US, so my options are limited unless I use some sort of reshipping service.

New teaser images popped up on the home page. Looks like we'll be getting US releases of Project A.

I wonder if this means Witchfinder General will get a UHD upgrade.

Jr7936 · 02-02-2023, 08:08 PM

ill stick with my eureka release of the project A double pack unless they give us the movies in 4K

darkness2918 · 02-02-2023, 08:20 PM

Never got around to buying the Eureka Project A set so those would be a pick up for me.

Doc Samson · 02-02-2023, 08:42 PM

Keep the Jackie Chan films rolling out! This is awesome, between the 88 releases and the Shout collections!

DukeTogo84 · 02-02-2023, 08:58 PM

Very excited for the Project A films. It really looks like 2023 is going to be the year of Jackie Chan. Hopefully more Sammo Hung too.

Encounters of the Spooky Kind would be tops!

Spooky Kind and Eastern Condors are my most wanted Hung films. I wouldn't be surprised if both come out this year.

I've never seen Eastern Condors, but I just looked it up and it sounds awesome. Count me in for a blind buy of that release when the time comes.

Oh it's really good. It's my favorite HK of the 80's outside of the John Woo stuff. It's a much different type of Sammo Hung film, but also very familiar at the same time. It's Sammo Hung doing his version of The Dirty Dozen, but with martial arts.

Eastern Condors is well worth getting. There have already been a few blu-ray releases.

I've seen a dozenish Sammo Hung directed movies, and I think Eastern Condors is the funniest. There's several with better action, stunts, etc. but as a comedy Eastern Condors is hilarious.

Police Story 3 now delayed to April 25th
