Damn!! That looks amazing, I'll be running out of wall space soon!

Out of curiosity, how big is Chow Yun-Fat's role in the movie? It's a rare one from him I haven't seen.

I ordered Flag of Iron and Legendary Weapons of China. 1st I got them on Amazon, and they sent me regular Discs when the description said 'Special edition'. Back they went. I told them the situation and they resent. Same thing. Back they went.

  So I said eff it and went to the 88 Films site. It cost a few $ more, but they get to N.Y. quick from The U.K. (Royal Mail beats the snot out of USPS any day! I hope Louis Dejoy, or whatever the hell his name is gets indicted with tRump!) Bottom line, I got both of them in Special Edition with the posters, which is what I was after if the 1st place.  My suggestion is screw Amazon, go to the 88 site and get the better product!

I bought everything they had, especially Killer Meteors and Human Lanterns - even got To Kill With Intrigue since it looks so good (No Poster though). In fact, the only 2 that didn't come S.E. was The Chinese Boxer and The Spiritual Boxer, I guess because they were released so long ago. Great customer service also!

Adding onto that, every time I've preordered from the 88 Films website, I have received my order 1-2 weeks before the official release date, despite it shipping from the UK to the US.

Thank you so much, that is very kind of you!

I was lucky to get the Slipcover version with the poster from 88 Filma after Amazon sent me just the disc only version twice, which I sent back twice. If any chance some older slipcases/posters like Chinese Boxer, Spiritual Boxer or To Kill With Intrigue from 88 Films are for sale, please PM me! And thank you again for the king offer :cool:.

One wasn’t supplied (probably never existed).

Thanks also to translator Tim Wong for verifying the subtitles.

OH DAMN!!! :bigsmile: 88's version of RIGHTING WRONGS will have 3 official versions of the film (Hong Kong Cantonese, Singaporean Mandarin, and English dubbed Export Cut) and a "hybrid cut" and an "ending randomizer" with even more previously unknown endings! :tongue: Holy Hong Kong classics, Batman!

Hard to believe how far Asian home releases have come since the days of we-were-lucky-if-we-could-find-a-shitty-quality-pan-and-scan-dubbed-bootleg or a re-edited, re-scored, re-named MirimAxe version. Rejoice fellow fans! :nerd:

Oh, the good old Tai Seng/Megastar/Universe/MiramAxe days! We went from non-anamorphic uncut HK DVDs with NTSC conversions of PAL masters and garbage sewer pipe remixes, to anamorphic retitled recut redubbed rescored MiramAxe DVDs and Blu-rays! Joy!

@KUNG FU BOB from the trailer I understand they are "newly EDITED finales" so we do not get any new footage, just composed endings that use the footage we also know. Am I right?

As far as I understand, no, I don't think you're right. It seems there are additional alternate endings (not just the two that most fans are aware of) that were found and will be included on the 88 Film's version.

What can I say @KUNG FU BOB you did it again fabulous another beauty to the collection 

70E0CEB3-00F2-44A8-8683-E8D3A12D7B85.jpeg

This may be one of @KUNG FU BOB's best pieces. Having the privilege of doing one of the audio commentaries for this I'm Happy to report the new re-master is beautiful. It's a real anomaly of a film from this era and Yuen's acting is incredible. A nearly perfect noir. If you haven't seen it, it's an absolute classic. Just don't expect tons of the usual action (which actually makes the movie great.

Yesterday I was looking onto the bluray.com forum and there's a pretty informative thread on this 88 films release. On that thread, I think it's OldPangYu, clarifies the alternative endings have been edited by himself as "whatifs". So no new ending footage.

I most surely will get only the 88 Films release anyway, as it's way cheaper and I'm sure it will also be great!! Kudos to VS anyway, as they managed to get some very juicy extras on their package.

I think @KUNG FU BOB already said this but I was told by Frank Djeng theres actually a third ending with this edition that hasn't been released before. Based on what I was told, its really interesting!
