Forgot about the fact that a Blu-ray is included, too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Yihetuan Posted April 2, 2023 Member Share Posted April 2, 2023 Frank just did the audio commentary for Magic Cop with Mark Walkow. I enjoy his commentaries, so that's a plus. It's so refreshing to be able to listen to an audio commentary without one person constantly talking over and interrupting the other, name dropping for no reason & talking about stuff that's not even relevant to the film or connected in the remotest way other than to just hear himself talk. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to email 88 films, Blighty, just to see if Magic Cop was coming over on this side of the pond. I suppose I could have just asked on here or trawled through endless pages looking for the answer. Got the answer I was hoping for. Edited April 2, 2023 by Yggdrasil 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get extra commentary tracks on the Eureka versions though! I went with the box for the art yes, but mainly as it was cheaper and I'm Scottish, so therefore, skinflint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Yggdrasil Posted April 6, 2023 Member Share Posted April 6, 2023 (edited) I'm more skint now this year having got back into martial art flicks. I suppose the commentary more than makes up for it too. Edited April 6, 2023 by Yggdrasil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Darth Kermit Posted April 8, 2023 Member Share Posted April 8, 2023 Was Twin Dragons a Miramax title in the UK? I'm wondering what the chances are we could see a boutique label release Zhang Yimou's Hero, which is also Miramax iirc. I was looking on br.com and it seems the latest blu-rays of Hero were released by Paramount, though I'm not sure if that means they obtained the rights or wwre just the publisher. Would kill for a good UHD release of that. Yimou's use of color deserves the HDR treatment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see the director's cut get put out in a nice release in the US or UK. Even better if it was a 4K remaster. Importing the one from Korea is expensive.

It's a shame that another large corporate entity that cares little if nothing about these films acquired such a large stake of Miramax after the Weinstein fiasco. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member lilmanjs Posted April 13, 2023 Member Share Posted April 13, 2023 Hmm, looks like this is gonna be an upcoming title? The Eight Immortals Restaurant: The Untold Story (1993) is a movie they're asking for an original or similar poster that can be scanned in hi-res on social media. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
