Administrator KUNG FU BOB Posted August 19, 2022 Administrator Share Posted August 19, 2022 MAGNIFICENT WARRIORS (love the colors on Sean Longmore's art) and ICEMAN COMETH are Blus I'm very happy to be getting 88 Film's releases. Gimme gimme gimme. Looks like yet another upcoming 88 Film's Blu-ray release was leaked early by Amazon UK and is now getting posted about on Instagram, Facebook, etc... EBOLA SYNDROME! So, since the (nasty) cat (III) is already out of the bag, here's a look at the cover art I did for it. And before anyone asks, and very much to my surprise, YES, it will be completely uncut. 15 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wish Vinegar Syndrome had contacted you to do the cover for their release, not that their cover is bad, but I just prefer this one a lot more. Though I will say that I will most likely will have to pass on this release since I have the VS 4K release. Is anyone else surprised that 88 didn't do a 4K release even though one exists in the U.S? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member HeavenSword Posted August 20, 2022 Member Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) Man , The Tiger Cage boxset is great 👍🏽 clean , sharp quality and the booklet is very informative. Michael Woods interview was very interesting. I think this and Millionaires Express from Eureka are the best looking films so far . Also , we need to put the ending of Tiger Cage 1 in the list of classic freeze frame endings. Jacky Cheung was pissed 😂 Edited August 20, 2022 by HeavenSword 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure why they didn't opt for a 4K release, but I'm stoked to see what 88 have lined up as far as extras for theirs. 14 hours ago, BigDruDogg said: Yo @KUNG FU BOB I love your Anthony Wong's evolution into madness!!

Member BigDruDogg Posted August 20, 2022 Member Share Posted August 20, 2022 If 88 decides to graciously add a poster with your cover art, I'll re-buy it! On a side note, it's still mind boggling that like every other day a new great release is being announced by all of these companies!! This hobby went from casual to getting a 2nd job to afford...

Member BigDruDogg Posted August 20, 2022 Member Share Posted August 20, 2022 Also Forgive me for asking this, I know it's been explained before, I just can't find a the definitive answer. What's the official differences between the 88 Films Righting Wrongs and VS version? I held off on VS's exclusive rights version, and see that it'll be released on Amazon 08/30 and than 88's on 09/26. Obviously I know 88 is UK and VS is US. You can point me to the page of the forum if it's been explained and I just missed it Thanks, and please don't start a Royal Rumble!! lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will also feature different color timings. Both releases feature the same archive Cynthia Rothrock commentary and archive interviews from Yuen Biao, Rothrock, and Peter Cunningham. It should also be noted the Mandarin cut isn't entirely correct on VinSyn's release (https://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=676669), but these are just minor editing errors that I believe will be corrected on 88's release. Either way, you're getting a stellar release so don't feel like you've missed out only getting one. 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve mostly left them in their cases figuring the creases will be very obvious. But the pictures being shared look pretty great so I might try hanging a few Paper, being made up of tiny, interwoven fibers, tends to have "memory" very similar to clothing. Have you ever had a sweatshirt, rolled up the sleeves, and then after unrolling them the cuffs are looser around your wrists afterward? Folding a poster does the same- twisting and deforming the fiber of the papers. I've had a lot of success with three different methods to remove/lessen fold lines in posters. PRESSING METHOD: Very similar to what @BigDruDogg described. But the ideal method is to have two flat items bigger than the poster to put it between, then pile books on top. I use my biggest drawing pad, place the poster in the middle between two pages, then pile books on top. Something more likely found in a typical home is the leaf of a table (the piece used to extend a table's length) that you can place upside-down on top of the poster which is lying flat on a table. Again, add heavy books. ROLLING METHOD: First, unfold the poster. Then roll it up with the printed side inside the roll. Once it's rolled up, carefully put your fingers (probably two or three will fit) inside one end and turn them gently to tighten the roll. Then switch to the other end and repeat. As it gets tighter you'll eventually only be able to fit one finger in to tighter the roll. Try to make both sides even. Then wrap a plain piece of paper around the center of the poster, rolling the poster up inside it, and fasten it with a piece of tape. You don't want to put tape on your poster for obvious reasons, hence the paper around it so you can tape that. Do NOT use rubber-bands as they can leave marks and damage the poster. Leave it this way for a few days at least. Once you open it, roll it in the opposite direction and repeat the process, but you only need to keep it rolled for about an hour. Now when you open it the folds should be substantially reduced and it should lay flat. IRONING: I've had good luck with this, but proceed with caution, as I've had friends accidentally singe or wet their posters (which causes more wrinkles!). Instead of me writing out these following directions I've copied and pasted them from a site (credit given): How to Flatten a Rolled Poster and Remove Wrinkles There are a few ways you can fix wrinkled posters. Here’s what we suggest. Roll the poster out onto a flat surface, such as a table. Make sure you straighten it face down with the blank side facing upwards Place a bed sheet or towel over the poster Lightly spray the sheet or towel with water until it is slightly damp, not wet Using the lowest heat setting on your iron, iron the poster through the sheet* Run the iron over one small area of the fabric at a time until it is dry Lift the fabric every so often to check for any heat damage on the poster Repeat the process if wrinkles remain *Please note: this may cause a slight change to the colours of the ink. instantprint does not accept responsibility or liability for any damage that might be caused. These methods are perfect for removing any curling that may happen so that your posters are ready for framing or hanging in no time at all. We’ll always roll from the long side of the poster, meaning it’s easier to straighten when it arrives.

Member Scottfu Posted August 23, 2022 Member Share Posted August 23, 2022 If you have a poster you like but just can't get if creases I would also recommend plaque mounting. It's far less noticeable and looks pretty sharp with beveled edges. I've done some and actually prefer it to frames. The one downside is its permanent so I wouldn't do a rare poster. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
