[Show spoiler]Thread created at the request of Irongod2112 with the release being confirmed by 88 Films on Twitter HERE

[Jackie Scanlon]

Commentaries with OldPangYau & Kung Fu Bob and Mike Leeder & Arne Venema please!!!

[MasterWithOkFingers]

My only request would be, as always that the original eng dub is on there somewhere for the full HD version.

[thenexus6]

I have the second from 88 already sealed.. wonder if they will do a double pack?

[-shadow-]

Skipped a few releases, but will easily be all over this!

[Geoff D]

Yeah Roy!!!

[navydavey]

Looking forward to finally having the English dub with the flight of dragon end credits song, like the old VHS days! (But in infinitely better quality)

[grim_tales]

Looking forward to it! I have 88's Operation Condor release. But if they did a double pack the LE exclusive stuff from Operation Condor might be dropped...?

[don3663]

88 are doing great. But was there anything adverse with the previous release? I have it and thought it was fine.

I have the Mediumrare UK release and it is very good, I believe there was some cropping but it had great PQ.

Not sure if they will use the same transfer but even still I have no doubt that the 88 release will top the Mediumrare one as it will have Kung fu Bob artwork and hopefully a booklet, choice of ending song (I can’t stress enough how much I want this ) and the same if not more extras.

original audio hopefully

[grim_tales]

I didn't realise the Mediumrare release didn't have the original audio.

[MLAM]

Ahhh finally a thread about it!

The Alan Tam songs in this film are a karaoke favourite of mine

Given the amount of Alan Tam songs in here, I'm not sure if it's possible to get the Music Video for these from TVB?

[reason108]

I don't want to have to buy Operation Condor again but if 88 want to sell a box so I could put Operation Condor and Armour of God in, that would be awesome! Not sure it would be worth their trouble. But, either way, can't wait for a proper Armour of God.

I want a 3 disc SE of Chinese Zodiac

Yeah, let's not think about Chinese Zodiac if we can help it, please! Though, there was a pretty decent end fight scene and the beginning action scene was pretty cool. But, good god, that middle section was horrendous.

I thought Chinese Zodiac was bloody awful.

I’d pre-order the 88/Eureka release day one

[Yautja_Warrior]

Easy day one buy. I love this movie, one of my favourite JC films. Hopefully it's just as good as their release of Operation Condor.
