88's Supercop is a US release. Not sure about the blu-rays being region free.

The Blu rays by 88 films US editions should be Region A only The same with Dragons Forever 4k The Blu ray ONLY as it is stateside. The Dragons Forever 4k will be Region for US and UK versions that are released

maybe someone can confirm this

How is "iceman cometh" as a whole and considering martial arts? Is this a martial arts movie? Someone with a minireview for an ignorant fan?

Defo worth getting I'd say. Just the Biao vs. Yuen Wah finale (one of how many, five?) should be reason enough to add this to your basket.

Bey Logan commentary on Iceman Cometh - That's a surprise, hope more of these will be used as well as some of the interviews and other extras he was involved in. It'd be a shame to lose them.

Please say that they are FINALLY starting to use Bey's commantaries and extras. Thats everything that has been missing so far. Lets cross fingers that the upcoming Dragons Forever UHD has Bey's extras and that this is the new standard.

I sent Bey a message on facebook and he replied saying he's shot a couple of interviews for 88 films and recorded a new commentary for Police Story III, so it looks like they'll be using more of his stuff. As I said previously it'd be good to add his old commentaries to new releases.

Does anyone know if Snake in the Eagles Shadow is OOP. It's been out of stock for a while and I'm trying to figure out what's going on. 

It is, they were only able to have it in print for one year.

Thanks, I don't know if I should pick it up or wait and hope someone else releases it. 

I'd say pick it up because the Roy Horan interview is really good.

Can anyone describe the whole deal with the color grading of the 4K scans of both the Eureka (received the 4K boxset last week) and 88 Films UHD release of Police Story 3? Is Eureka's scan inaccurate and 88's accurate? 🤷‍♂️

As @panzer replied, it IS out-of-print.

Yes, definitely try to find a copy. This edition looks fantastic PQ-wise and that Roy Horan interview is outstanding (filmed shortly before he passed away). There's also an audio commentary on there by stuntman/action choreographer/author John Kreng (which I guest on) that's a good listen.

You can still find copies on eBay.
