Member saltysam Posted August 28, 2022 Member Share Posted August 28, 2022 I watched Drive 4k this morning, looks good however if you have the USA MVD Blu that's from the same 4k scan you won't see a massive difference,an uptick yes.Of course if you have the old HKL DVD its a huge upgrade. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear. I used to have the US bluray so I'll go for the UK 4K release. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member nahnahnah Posted September 9, 2022 Member Share Posted September 9, 2022 From OldPangYau: Quote Yes, that runtime is not a typo, via @88_Films's Facebook : "The FULLY UNCUT (127 mins) Extended Taiwanese Version (Mandarin Export Cut) with Mandarin mono, Hybrid Cantonese / Mandarin track and English / Mandarin hybrid track" (HK version included as well, of course, lol) 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lebear Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I just purchased Clan of the White Lotus, not the limited edition so obviously no slipcase but is it correct that the non-limited edition don't even ship with a booklet? This one was completely bare boned. The other titles I have are the LE's so can't compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that. I think it's safe to say the first four JC movies 88 put out will be re released.

Member nahnahnah Posted September 14, 2022 Member Share Posted September 14, 2022 88 Films has confirmed elsewhere that both cuts of Supercop are going to be 4K, while Eureka has the U.S Cut in 1080p 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member lastninja Posted September 14, 2022 Member Share Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) I'm really happy about every release in HD/4k and eagerly follow all the advance notices of the various labels. This brings back memories of when Hong Kong Legends entered the market (yes, I'm really that old). However, I would sometimes wish that films not yet available in HD would find their way to the light of day. Of course, I understand that you can't spend huge sums on rights (Warner Bros, you greedy *!?...). After all, you have to earn something. But there are still so many excellent martial arts movies, especially from the 80's, that desperately need HD releases. In case 88 Films, Eureka or others along those lines read along, here are two treasures that are at the top of my must-have list: A Book Of Heroes (1986) The Funny Family (1986) It would be great if one of the labels took pity on them and put out an edition with goodies for the fans. I'm sure there are tons of other great flicks that need the HD treatment which I am not aware of.

So i would say its time to sell the steelbook edition since i didnt become friends with the artwork and poster etc. Are the contents of the 4k and the steelbook the same ? Do i lose sth if i sell the steelbook? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
