He is definitely my number 2 after Jackie, although there are some movies I didnt see yet. I would buy the most stuff coming from him. So push it to the limit 88. I am too, alot of people i know love Jet Li. Some even love Jet Li more or abit more than Jackie Chan. I love both Jackie and Jet. Jet Li made some great movies Fist of Legend is one of my favorites he's done. 5 hours ago, Cognoscente said: I wish that he didn't do Born to Defend. That's where he injured his back. Imagine if he had done something else like playing Andy Lau's role in Magic Crystal. I do too, It nearly ended both his flim career and also as a Martial Arts performer too. I;m glad he was able to bounce back after he was nearly paralyzed from the waist down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be a guy on here called @popsjnr who really hated him...and kept challenging people to fights for some reason. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pops jnr is actually a cool dude but voices his thoughts a bit too loud but keeps it real, he is actually a hung gar student of one of Lau Kar Leung's student. Also used to work in the now defunct Eastern Heroes Store in the London’s West End back in 90's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet’s got skills, I actually think Born to Defend was a good showcase for him, some crazy stunts in that film. Maybe he was just a bit too reckless resulting in the injury. Could @popsjnr have heard LKL say something not so pleasant about him? Wushu vs southern cma’s… 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never have, unfortunately. Actually, I enjoy the early Jet Li movies very much. Up until at least DRAGON FIGHT. FIST OF LEGEND is fun. Just find the bulk of his later work to be massively overrated. Not really his fault as he isn't "hands on" with the action like Jackie Chan or Donnie Yen. The blame lies more with the directors of the time. Interesting how fans today seem to completely ignore most of the 90s stuff nowadays. So many forgettable movies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator KUNG FU BOB Posted November 20, 2022 Administrator Share Posted November 20, 2022 I was recently stuck in a situation where I only had a regular old Region A-only portable Blu-ray player (last time this happened was years ago when my All-Region player died) to watch movies. My awesome wife had grabbed a bag of "good stuff" for me from my huge to-watch pile to keep me entertained. Among the things I most wanted to watch were a bunch of 88 Films releases- including BLACK CAT, THE YOUNG MASTER, EROTIC GHOST STORY, ROBOTRIX, ARMOUR OF GOD, RIKKI-OH, and FORBIDDEN CITY COP. I looked through them all, trying to decide what to watch first. And should I check out one of these greats to see them for the first time with HD picture and excellent subs, or go for one of the many exciting extra features? I settled on the Celebrity Talk Show episode on EGS which I read so many people praising. Then I realized... they were all Region B and I couldn't watch any of them! Torturous (in a nerd-stuck-without-his-stuff kinda way)! I was not a fan of my (in-the-big-scheme-of-things) brief (but seemingly endless) return to being at the mercy of region coding. Now I'm not saying that when I returned home I cuddled and kissed my All-Region player (I'm not saying that ), but I sure was glad to see it. Sometimes we take things for granted until we don't have them. Don't be that person. Gently dust your All-Region player... today. 3 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not yet, but soon from what i was told about the Police Story 3: Supercop 4K/Bluray release. It will have new interviews, new commentaries by Frank Djeng but no word if Bey Logan's new commentary will be featured or not? It will have new features that aren't in the Eureka release.

Member KenHashibe Posted November 25, 2022 Member Share Posted November 25, 2022 Ordered Righting Wrongs through RareWaves last night. Seemed to be the cheapest option I could find for shipping to the US. Cost $5 for international shipping, and was around $38 total. Not sure how reputable the site is, but hoping to get it soon.

Try Orbit DVD and Diabolik DVD for region a & b titles. I paid $30 with shipping for Righting Wrongs from Orbit.

Member Yggdrasil Posted November 25, 2022 Member Share Posted November 25, 2022 While listening to Bey Logan's commentary on Bewitched, he mentioned the film Killer Constable. So I had a butchers on the net about it and I saw the Ebay price. Someone clearly is disillusioned. What muppet would pay £350 for a blu ray? Got to be a cheaper option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, Arrow's Shawscope volume 2 is definitely in the running. Even if they missed obvious commentary choices,. 4 Venom movies + Mercenaries from Hong Kong + 5 Superfighters. Just them alone is going to be hard to beat. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
