Member Stewart Posted March 22, 2022 Member Share Posted March 22, 2022 It’s one of my all-time favorites. The DVD version is decent. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member FightingFool Posted March 22, 2022 Member Share Posted March 22, 2022 Hated Battle Wizard 1st but later started to love it. I think it`s far better than super inframan. Tien Ni is extremely charming and there is giant ape to be fought among other good things. 88 br would be welcomed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even if there would be subs, while fun movie it`s not kind of want to pay over 30€+shipping for upgrading. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator KUNG FU BOB Posted March 22, 2022 Administrator Share Posted March 22, 2022 On 3/17/2022 at 6:15 AM, legendarycurry said: I recently started buying Blurays and I discovered that 88 films Blurays are available in Region B, so now my shopping list has grown exceptionally I especially hope I can get a copy of the Armor of God special edition, money is a little tight right now so I hope to buy it at a later date. Anyone here own it? Is it as awesome as it seems? On 3/17/2022 at 12:12 PM, Drunksnake said: The Armour Of God set is awesome, as is The Young Master set. AOG has a cool new hybrid audio track too and is packed with great extras and commentaries. @legendarycurry the ARMOUR OF GOD (and THE YOUNG MASTER) Blu-ray releases from 88 Films are IMO the best releases on any physical media of any Jackie Chan films. Knowing how big a fan you are, I'd say they are both absolutely "must haves".

Member Super Ninja Posted March 22, 2022 Member Share Posted March 22, 2022 (edited) Don't know what's the reason, but I welcome 88 Films' decision to cut down the shipping prices. For a while it was 14£ for Europe, reason why I decided to preorder their releases from zavvi. Now I might get back to chasing points at their site. With the 10 year anniversary sale, the total for my order was ridicilous. I finally got The Mercenary and decided to check out Karate Warrior. I pretty much have everything I wanted, but I might get more stuff before the sale ends. Edited March 22, 2022 by Super Ninja 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member legendarycurry Posted March 22, 2022 Member Share Posted March 22, 2022 RIP my wallet . My bank account is crying, but at the very least it will be crying to the tune of "Kung Fu Fighting Man" and "Lorelai/Flight Of The Dragon" because I bought Armour Of God Special Edition and The Young Master from 88 films! threw in Spiritual Boxer too. I blame whoever it was that first wrote that they had a 25% off sale lol 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does sound great though! I got the edition that just has the 2 discs. I'm happy about the extra fearures and versions so it should be nice either way : ) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want just part#2, haven`t seen 3rd but seems reputation is not that good. 1st is not bad movie but Donnie is underused and it`s type of flick don`t necessary need to see third time ever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who has seen them all, I think TC2 is the better martial arts movie, TC1 is the better crime film and TC3 is a solid mix between the two genres. I rate them: TC1: 7/10, TC2: 10/10 and TC3 6/10. 1 hour ago, WaverBoy said: I’m glad it’s a box set, great way to pick up the whole series which I definitely want to do, haven’t seen any of them yet but am greatly looking forward to it! I'm glad they are doing a box set too because I think all three movies are good and Tiger Cage 2 in particular is a great one. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually rank 'Tiger Cage' and 'Tiger Cage 3' over the 2nd starring vehicle for Donnie Yen. Too much grating comedy, compared to the gritty crime feel the 1st and 3rd entries come with, but none of them deserve less than 7/10 for sure. There are plenty of opinions on the trilogy in this thread - 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
