The next batch of Shaw Bros. Hong Kong Blu-rays are coming. This time it looks like they're targeting the local market with the Stephen Chow classic, Justice, My Foot!, and the firemen drama, Lifeline, both directed by Johnnie To. Of course, they could also be cashing in on To's upcoming movie, Office, which is out next month.

This movie is crazy popular amongst Hong Kong audiences, and the first to feature the Stephen Chow/Anita Mui pairing. It's also the first of two movies he did with director, Johnnie To, with whom he had a falling out with after their next movie together, The Mad Monk. Both Chow and Mui also scored Hong Kong Film Award nominations for their performances in it. Personally, I don't think it's THAT good. I've always found Johnnie To really hit and miss with comedy.

More Johnnie To, Shaw Bros., and Hong Kong classics on Blu-ray can only be a good thing in my opinion. Keep 'em comin'!

Frustrating but good to know that they are releasing some more titles. Maybe if this does really well then we can get some more kung-fu films like The 36th Chamber of Shaolin series. Good luck to them but I will be sitting this purchase out.

I actually liked this one. Honestly, Mui seals almost any purchase for me unless the quality of the disc is garbage. I wish they could bring out a high quality transfer of Rouge with her and Gor Gor.

So anyone have details about the quality of this disc?

Would also love to see God of Cookery get a decent release...

I don`t own this title. But, if it`s anything like some of the other Celestial IVL SB releases that I own, then, it should be a quality release. Of course, all of these Celestial masters are a little older now so they obviously are not going to look like the recent 2 or 4k masters that have been released by Fortune Star. But, many of these SB blu-ray titles from IVL have the original mono track.
