An upgraded SNAKE AND CRANE ARTS OF SHAOLIN would be most welcome, as would an upgraded DRAGON FIST and BATTLE CREEK BRAWL! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Has Snake & Crane been confirmed? I skipped this one due to the SDH only subtitles but i'd certainly pick up an upgraded version.

100% confirmed? No, but the tease by Bob seems pretty on point.

The third one along looks like an old school kung fu movie poster.

Looks like The Mystery of Chess Boxing 🤨

Looks like the art Bob teased. Snake & Crane Arts of Shaolin re-release?

A bit lighter than I was hoping, but on par with the average Eureka release. New Frank Djeng commentary + ports of archival interviews. Curious to see what Eureka will do or if it'll just be the same.

Now that is the cover this film needed!

Excellent I'm sure the picture quality will be a big improvement too.

Hmm I'm not sure what I should make of this. Yes the existing 88 release is flawed, but it is still pretty recent. I will have to assess if it will be worth buying it yet again.

But it could be a Region A re-issue if the existing Region B release as well.

It's listed as a UK release on the (blurred) photo.

I'm surprised they're rereleasing it in the UK first before the US. I assume they got the US rights as well which would be a big reason to re-release it.

Aw, darn.  I only just got my hands on their original release of Snake and Crane.  Still, what a wonderful age we live in, when these movies are getting multiple uncut HD releases!  My first exposure to most of the Lo Wei movies were on LP mode VHS - and were low quality even by those standards.  This is a good sign, even if my timing is lousy.

These are A3 size 

It worked out great. thank you! I found some that fit perfect. 3 for$43 total. Now I just have to find one for the Warriors 2 poster which is a bit bigger, but I'm glad to get these framed up. Thanks again!

If 88 is releasing Magnificent Warriors (and I am told Royal Warriors and Yes, Madam!) in the US and Eureka in the UK, do they also have the rights for the In the Line of Duty films in the US/UK respectively? Do we know at all/are there any rumors?

3-5 were remastered as well. There have been rumors of a set for a while, but apparently any set could not include 1 and 2, hence why those are sold individually. Something for those seems to be in works, whether a set or individual, and by which label, is yet to be seen. Hopefully sometime next year.
