Thank you Akijama, I hope they are single releases mot one of those four backs walmart type of things!!

[MifuneFan]

Probably First Strike, or Mr. Nice Guy (or both)

Probably First Strike and Rumble in the Bronx. They released The Protector on dvd, but it looks like the rights went back to Fortune Star.

Also Rumble in the Bronx and, of course, Rush Hour 2.

[MifuneFan]

Wow, Rumble in the Bronx, I didn't even realize that wasn't out yet. That's definitely a strong contender then. Rush Hour 2 is set for September, so this is probably something else.

Edit: Rumble is from 1995 too, so with this being an anniversary year, I think that is the most likely film.

Warner (through New Line) has Rumble in the Bronx, Mr Nice Guy and First Strike, but only the crappy edited and dubbed versions.

Dunno, about the others, but I think this is it.

Nice

It's been a good day for action flicks. Two Jackie's, The Last Dragon and The Challenge.

Unusual that they're using the international cover art for First Strike instead of the typical snowboard variant.

I suppose First Strike will just be the theatrical cut. I remember back around 2002, TBS or USA premiered the film, but aired a special extended edition with lots of stuff put back in, and I liked it even more than the theatrical version. I'll buy it any way, but having both cuts would be nice.

Edited and dubbed. Lame.

Been years since I've seen that specific cut, But I think most of the additions were English language scenes that were originally only in the HK cut. TBS basically had to do this since the US cut was too short for the commercials they had Far better than what FX did with Transporter 2, in which they literally slowed the film down, giving everyone deeper voices.

EDIT: I just noticed the Chinese characters behind the price... I was going to brush it off, thinking someone just picked random words, but it's actually Jackie Chan's screen name, Sing Lung.

The butchered US release of First Strike is a worthless, incoherent mess. If the director's cut ever gets a good release (don't hold your breath) then I'm sure the film's reputation will rise.

[Blu Titan]

Day one for both...love both of them .

[Ruemorgue10]

Definitely in for Rumble in the Bronx.

[Toy1mz02]

Hell yes!! I'm so happy!!

Reading most of the replies in this thread is a big part of the reason we are still getting the cut and dubbed versions. I know it can also be an issue of rights, but if nobody complains, then what is the point?
