It's definitely an acquired taste, I personally love B&W films, Film-Noir is another one of my favorite Genres and that's a must, but I completely understand, most of my friends and my brother are the same way, my wife asked me the other day...why would you buy a 4K movie in B&W...

Exactly. I can't see the reasoning behind it either.

Higher resolution? Same as a color film? Now HDR on black and white doesn't have as big of a change as it does on color, but it still can be an improvement afaik.

Just finished my second viewing of Burning Paradise and I've really enjoyed it. I'd never seen it before but I'm glad I have now. Darker tone and I really enjoyed the cave setting which was a visual treat. l do like discovering a new gem.

Frank Djeng personally delivering a copy of Burning Paradise to Kam Kwong who played the villainous eunuch in the film at the Tribeca FF.

[BigDruDogg]

I'm not sure if this has been asked, but I bought Burning Paradise from Vinegar Syndrome a few weeks back. I was curious are there any substantial differences between that one and the Eureka version?

Because I just found out that the Eureka version of Violent Streets that I bought had a scene edited, in comparison with the Film Movement version which included it..

I was hesitant to order the Eureka version because I thought the retards at the BBFC would censor the horse wire trip fall at the beginning but thankfully it's included and appears uncut. I don't see any differences in the encoding either. The one niggling issue is that I heard Eureka botched the subs on one or two lines of dialogue.

I don't remember where exactly. Perhaps someone can chime in where that occurs in the film. I double dipped on the Eureka because of the Frank Djeng commentary, no offense to Sam Deighan but she's not in the same league when it comes to knowledge about HK films. The one extra the VS Blu Ray has is the interview with Wong Kam Kong which unfortunately Eureka couldn't do because it wasn't ready in time for release. The good news is that Eureka will release another movie (hoping Blade of Fury) featuring the actor which will include that interview.

I love Frank, but I'll pass on the DD, unless I can find it for cheaper than cheap..thanks for the heads Up!!

Blade of Fury would be awesome! I have the Warner Archive DVD and would love a HD upgrade! Matter of fact, I'd love for all of the Warner Archive films to be upgraded.

Most likely, that or Shaolin Popey 2: Messy Temple  because that movie should be arrested and it killed my enjoyment and I want vengeance

[Red Lion]

Just finished the mr vampire sequels. Very enjoyable series with some great practical effects and great atmosphere along with some great humour. That scene in mr vampire saga 4 where the taoist summons the power of the ancestors had me buckled. "Dont get too close or he'll get a puncture". Brilliant.

The only one i had seen before was part 2 from channel 4 way back in the 90s. I believe it was part of an alternative xmas run they did where they showed mr vampire 1 and 2, the dead and the deadly, spooky encounters and some others that escape me. Overall loved the set and would love if eureka would now release miracle fighters series.

Miracle fighters and other Yuen brothers oddities are always towards the top of my most wanted upgrades. I’m even a sucker for mismatched couples

Am I the only one who still sees DD and thinks "why is someone even considering buying a Dragon Dynasty DVD when there's a new Blu-ray!?"

We all know what happened to Bey Logan but whatever became of Brian White? Is he associated with Cine Asia?

That's correct. One of the best in the sub-genre for me.

[legendarycurry]

Apologies in advance, but some twitter discord on folks already guessing how the Eureka art for She Shoots Straight  will look led me to spend a few mins cobbling this together. It is my rough outline of what the original cover will be for the release in my opinion. Please imagine the orange color being the  background's main color, and that the flames engulf more of the box. That's the coolest shot I could find of Carina with  machetes in the few mins I spent, but you get the gist. obviously it won't be screenshots but drawings.

You are not, I do too. I am not sure what DD means in this context if it isn't Dragon Dynasty
