Oh really? Police story boxset here was all 4k. A good set too. In some ways it's a pity titles are region locked in this day in age when so many of us have chipped blu ray players that can play multi region. It seems just pointless to just lock it to one area.

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. Which is why I love the releases we've gotten from Arrow/88 Films this past year or two. There a lot of great martial arts films I haven't seen, but I'm not paying $100 (or more in the example above) for a dvd or blu-ray. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got some fantastic remastered classics, so upgrading by DVD collection. Looking forward to 2023 to see what else is on the agenda. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to get the 88's release of Police Story 3 even though I already just bought the Eureka's version. Now I am having second thoughts about doing that if 88 is not going to use the Bey Logan's produced extras as there doesn't seem to be too much in terms of new extras that would justify a purchase of a movie that I already have. Pity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just ordered my shopping cart from amazon yesterday. I could cancel it but with the international shipping price of 88 I think it gets still more expensive than amazon. Man I'm not in the mood to recalculate my orders anymore. I wish I was so rich that I dont see shipping prices... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluray while Eureka doesnt charge shit for it when they are approx the same in base price for a movie. In reality it doesnt cost more than ~£5 to ship a dvd/blu within Europe untracked like 88 are shipping. I love the company to death for their efforts, but that just doesnt make any sense. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think 88 ships them tracked? I ordered snake&crane, Iceman cometh and DragonsForever Uhd with the 33%discount. Paid £16 for the shipping. Was still a little bit cheaper than amazon. Great deal, thx for that. But the shipping is a brake for me every time when I consider to order directly from 88. I have an individual discount of nearly 20£ because of my earlier orders, but I dont want to waste them for shipping. Sad... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried looking on Amazon.co.uk and compare the prices. Sometimes if you're lucky, Amazon's prices are lower with hardly any shipping cost if you have prime. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member KenHashibe Posted December 3, 2022 Member Share Posted December 3, 2022 (edited) Thank you @venom10463 for letting me know about OrbitDVD. I cancelled my RareWaves order and got Righting Wrongs from OrbitDVD for $10 less (though I did end up paying an additional $10 for expedited shipping because I just couldn't wait)! Anyway, I quickly skimmed through some of the special features, and I'm truly blown away by this release. Probably the most bizarre and incredible feature to me is the rare "Ladies Man" ending, which I had absolutely no prior knowledge of it existing. It is so incredibly dark and cynical, and has a very different feeling to the HK ending. I just wish there was a way to see the movie with the "Ladies Man" ending attached, just like they did for the multi-ending Ultimate Cut on the second disc. With the way HK film companies would frequently discard deleted scenes/endings, it's amazing to see some of it survive and ACTUALLY be released to the public. SPOILERS FOR THE HK ENDING AND "LADIES MAN" ENDING: Spoiler For the "Ladies Man" ending, it's the same as the HK ending (Cynthia and Yuen Biao both dead) but with an extra comedic beat before the credits roll. I kinda loved it. Additionally, the ending Cantonese narration from the Japanese release is something I didn't know existed either, and it gives the original HK ending such a strange (and nonsensical IMO) twist. Regardless of what you may feel about these different endings, the fact that these were included is a film preservationist's dream come true. To see a previously unreleased ending, and to hear the rare ending narration, made me unbelievably happy. Again, completely blown away by their inclusion on this disc. The 88 release is probably as definitive of a release as Righting Wrongs can possibly get. Plus, the artwork by Sean Longmore is STUNNING.
