Member lilmanjs Posted April 25, 2023 Member Share Posted April 25, 2023 (edited) This was posted on the blu-ray.com forums today by their official account over there. No reason to really own the Eureka!

Hopefully I get it before the upcoming extended weekend. The first time I saw that movie was about twenty years ago, I think. I really liked it.

Katakuri Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 For someone who owns ITLOD individually from Eureka, is there any reason why I should double dip with 88 boxset? Is the picture quality and sound quality/options identical? Or is it too soon to ask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, curiosity got the better of me. I decided to have a butcher's at the trailer for God of Gamblers after reading the synopsis of it. It reminded me a little of Rainman. I liked the trailer, but still undecided whether to fork out for it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly recommend getting God of Gamblers, It's one of Chow Yun Fat's very best outside of flims with John Woo and the late Ringo Lam. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ChillyChong Posted April 27, 2023 Member Share Posted April 27, 2023 God of gamblers is in general good and last moments are great. Tempted to upgrade dvd but probably have to forget it for now, there is too much interesting stuff coming out in next few months+vinegar halfway sale of which I plan to get some Rothrock and Billy Blanks movies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you don’t go in expecting an action film because it’s far from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Drunken Monk Posted May 6, 2023 Member Share Posted May 6, 2023 I didn’t care for Long Arm of the Law and have been told that part 3 is more my speed, so I’ll probably skip this set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member WaverBoy Posted May 6, 2023 Member Share Posted May 6, 2023 I really liked Long Arm of the Law, excellent gritty crime thriller if I recall correctly. Haven’t seen any of the others in the series. I’ll be all over that set. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ironfistedmonk Posted May 6, 2023 Member Share Posted May 6, 2023 Yeah I wasn't in to the first Long Arm of the Law so will probably skip that one as well as the Postman film, I couldn't get in to that one either and I still have it on DVD anyway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only seen the film once and here's silly olde me, thinking if I was to buy it again on blu, it be more interested than I was the first time I bought it. Must admit the front cover does look a lot better than the HKL cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DiP Posted May 10, 2023 Member Share Posted May 10, 2023 I received my copy of the 88 release of God of Gamblers, and watched it yesterday. Great HD scan with remastered subtitles, inclusion of the original mono track in uncompressed form, as well as great extras. This is the definite bluray edition of the movie, so it's highly recommended for fans. There's one thing I do wish 88 could do for future releases... Include chapter selections for certain scenes. Why nobody has even bothered to mentioned this to them is a mystery to me. 🤷♂️ As for the movie, it's still as great and entertaining as it has always been for me. Chow Yun-Fat displaying two sides of his versatile acting, great supporting cast, great music, great action scenes, great comedy scenes, and an overall well-structured and fresh story about gambling. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
