88 announced God of Gamblers a few months back also, one of Wong Jing's best IMO

Master with OK Fingers

Does anyone know if there is any of the special edition box set releases that were released again with only a slipcover? I didn't realize that the 2nd run on The Young Master came with slipcover? I thought it was just the Box style release and then a standard blu-ray case version. I recently picked up The Young Master with a slipcover only after noticing someone's tweet of their collection. I would love a slip for AOG, did Armour of God have a slipcover release?

Also Righting Wrongs, I would love a slipcover for this as well. I just like the uniform look of the slipcover. The height of the boxsets look so out of place on the shelf lol

Yes Armour Of God standard edition comes with a slip.

Any chance of the older "classic" Shang-kuan Ling-feng films to be released such as "Back Alley Princess" or Chinatown Capers" or the Hui Brothers classics such as "Security Unlimited" or "Games Gamblers Play"?

Snake and Crane arrived, and to tell you the truth I was not expecting such a nice package. 88 Filma nailed it with this one. Only thing is that the poster is so big, I'm not sure what size frame (again!). I almost bought a few frames beforehand, but I'm glad I didn't. Props to the package designers! :shakinghands

No wonder Shout! Factory didn't list this as a restoration in their set. I wonder if this will be UK only and how it will compare to the one in the Shout set.

Shout Factory currently has the US license for BATTLE CREEK BRAWL (aka. THE BIG BRAWL) and 88 Films has the license for the UK.

So is the one in the Shout! Set a restoration as well? I'll buy this if it is a major improvement over that as I think this movie is underrated big time.

I'd be surprised if the Shout one was a new restoration as I don't think they do stuff like that themselves. But I don't know for certain, I'm only speculating.

88 Films want to improve on everything with this one to top their previous release which was one of their first four Jackie Chan releases. They've learned a lot since then and upped their game in major ways, so I think it's going to be pretty damn good.

I've never seen Battle Creek Brawl so avoided buying it first time around. I may have to support 88 Films this time around and pick this one up.

I believe the new restoration is exclusive to this release

I remember 88 was supposed to release a slew of CAT III films this year. Taxi Hunter and The Untold Story are the only 2 so far or did I miss any other announced title?
