I want Ebola Syndrome. It is the most disgusting, insane, hate filled fun movie ever made. But I have so many movies I want to get. I can’t justify getting it again, because the Discotek DVD is great. I have always wanted to see the movie uncut with all those gory bits put back in the movie. Arggg. I want it. Gimme.

I bought it to replace the Hong Kong DVD. Not seen the discotek one so I can't comment on the looks of it. But why did they release it on DVD and not blu ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's different but I don't know/remember enough to know if there's something missing on the new one compared to the old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Discotek pic quality is quite good. It has the cut bits, separate from the movie in the special features. I remember a lot cut. Making it even more gory than Run and Kill. But my memory may be failing. Common thing for me. When I got the DVD in 2007 DVD was the standard. Blu Ray had been around a year or so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It`s definitely gorier than Run&Kill but still it has just a few remarkably bloody scenes. Beginning and when restaurant owners are killed. It`s not violence but performance of AW and storyline which makes it "classic". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jizzmaster Jerry Posted December 6, 2022 Member Share Posted December 6, 2022 True. It’s no bloodbath but disturbing and some very shocking violence. I don’t know if I like your quotation. Are you suggesting that this is not a classic worthy of being shown in a double feature alongside something like Farewell my Concubine? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think anyone that picks up a slab of meat from a fridge, cuts a hole in it and spunks in it and replace it to be used later is a pretty grim bastard.

Never heard of the movie. But I liked Police story with it's scary stunts. Seen the trailer of this, well actually half the trailer then ordered this. Best just to jump in with both feet. And another film with my all time favourite guy, Sammo. It's got to be worth buying! (Just one heck of a dodgy haircut though.)

Member DiP Posted December 13, 2022 Member Share Posted December 13, 2022 In terms of subtitling and subtitle timing, 88 Films crushes Eureka so I'm getting the boxset. I just ordered Eureka's edition of part 4 though just to own two releases with differing content and overall quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Just one heck of a dodgy haircut though.) Just doing my civic duty on this. For your first viewing, I strongly recommend the extended Japanese "Cyclone Z' cut. There's important and funny Yuen Biao scenes that are only in that version. Plus an outtake reel. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just finished watching it before your message. I saw the HK cut first then listened to the International cut's commentary by Mike & Arne. I didn't see any difference between the two. I'll have to give the Japanese Cyclone Z cut a watch tomorrow. Thanks mate. Edited December 13, 2022 by Yggdrasil 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member thelastweaponmaster Posted December 14, 2022 Member Share Posted December 14, 2022 I find it really frustrating that 88 Films can't get their house in order so that they can release their HK films as originally scheduled or announced their extras on a timely basis. Eureka has announced their extras (quite nice ones too) for their individual "In the Line of Duty" releases. Yet we haven't heard a peep yet from 88 Films regarding any of their extras for their "In the Line of Duty" boxset. I guess they are still recovering from their "Bey Logan" fiasco in regards to developing extras for their releases. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But isn’t only like two or three guys running the label? I’m a little more forgiving. Edited December 14, 2022 by bickle14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
