Anyone know if there is a "standard" region A Supercop on the market yet? Or are they all still limited editions with the slipcase, book and lobby cards?

 

Maybe you would be better off getting the Eureka version?

Just noticed this on 88's website. Have I missed an announcement for Project A from 88?

Yea, that's been there for a while now. No announcement otherwise. People are assuming it will be a Region A release since Eureka already put it out for Region B.

No, no 4K. It will be released by the end of June.

The only thing that makes me curious/nervous is, 88 released a projected release window for they're titles from May-Sept. for both the US & UK and both Twin Dragons and Fight Back to School Trilogy weren't on that release schedule.. even though they're "supposedly" coming out on June 26 (UK) makes me believe they'll be pushed back sadly..

EDIT:

Maybe I'm full of it, I could've swore it was May-Sept, when I first saw the link. Now the link says July-Sept... if that's the case maybe we'll still be in luck :crossedlips:

Hopefully it will still be released on June 26.  Amazon UK still has it listed there along with Fight Back to School. Unless maybe 88 had changed it and Amazon UK has yet to update the release date info?

Only Frank lays down the law when it comes to audio commentaries.

guys, where can I order police story 3 from 88? it is not on their website. and i cant find it on amazon. Is it OOP already? but why cant I find it on the 88 website? I didnt know that it is 4k region free with the deluxe treatment...

There's now several 4K copies available from this reliable seller. And it's cheaper.

While I don't think In the Line of Duty 5 is very good, is there a reason it's not a part of the 88's box set? Same production company and the HD transfer already exists...

My guess is 1,2, and 4 are all pretty well known and regarded, so including 3 made sense. They probably want to save 5 for a theoretical boxset of 5-7 if the later two films get restored and this boxset sells well enough. My guess anyway (I hope I am right). Frank Djeng said in a recent interview that if Long Arm of the Law 1 and 2 boxset does well they were interested in doing 3 and 4. Here's hoping it's the same for ITLOD

I personally hope good sales on Story of Ricky , Erotic Ghost Story and Seventh Curse will lead to more Lam Ngai Choi films.

ITLOD 5-7 have been restored in HD already, they are on Chinese streaming websites and it's clearly a 1080p+ scan.

So at this point it's whether someone wants to acquire the rights and do a proper release.

are not most of the girls with guns out there in HD such as Princess Madam,Angel 1-3,Killer Angels,Devil Hunters,Angel Terminators 1 and 2 does it not come down to securing the rights for those for a release to happen or am I wrong and some on the list are yet to be restored I think most of the well known girls with guns have had restorations its the lesser known ones such as Mission of Condor,Angel Force,Beauty Investigator and such that have not yet had restoration no idea who holds these
