If true that would be interesting considering that it is going up on Criterion Channel for streaming next month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, I think Untold Story 2 needs to be on vol 2 of that Made in HK Horror anthology put out by VS or a title Massacre or Unearthed might tackle but I don't see 88 doing it. Eureka doesn't seem to want to touch anything CAT III. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers @Yihetuan just so you know the movies on there are pretty crap. Watch once & forget. I don't think I'll ever revisit those movies again. But I bought it just to support future releases & because I'm a sucker for anything Anthony Wong. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet it's a Miracles re release, which I would love as it is Jackie's most technically accomplished film and my second favorite of his directorial outings. However as some have expressed here, I would also love them to do a 4K of the Project A's for their supposed eventual region a release of them. That would require new restorations though, as Eureka release was sourced from a 2K scan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
