For his audio commentary on the 88 Films release of 'Magic Crystal', it seems like he's already regretting his decision, and the commentary track is back to just Djeng by himself. When Frank does a commentary with someone he sometimes does a solo one too so he can get more info in. He has do e this with Police Story 3. Eurekas release had him partnered with F.J. DeSanto but he went solo for 88's release. The Postman fights back has a commentary with Frank and the director plus a solo one. Legendary Weapons Of China has two from Frank and so does a few others. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean Xi Shi, the beauty of beauties 1956 with Li Lihua ? Or the 1965 one Hsi Shi, the beauty of beauties with Chiang Ching ? And one of thes would be released by 88 ? If so, it's a really good thing ! Edited November 3, 2023 by ShawAngela 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member ChillyChong Posted November 4, 2023 Member Share Posted November 4, 2023 There is good sale on 88 site some quite new titles(and lots of older ones) for £8.99 As not seen any of Inspector movies am actually glad they are not in boxset. If don`t like first movie won`t bother with sequels then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Knetan Posted November 4, 2023 Member Share Posted November 4, 2023 The first is ok, perhaps the better mix of comedy and action. But a very mild recommendation only. Second is a series of skits with a tacked on action finale, third wasn't much better bur ironically 4 was a bit more lively. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member ironfistedmonk Posted November 4, 2023 Member Share Posted November 4, 2023 I didn't mind the comedy in Inspector Wears Skirts 2, the only real action is the finale though so if you just want fisticuffs this one might not be for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I winced my way through the Mike and Arne extra on BEACH OF THE WAR GODS recently. On the one hand, they're fun guys. On the other, they both keep mispronouncing Lo Wei as Lo REI, and seem to think Jimmy Wang Yu made his leading man debut with GOLDEN SWALLOW... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like them at all, they don't fit in my disc storage drawer that has slots the size of regular blu rays and they look out of place next to regular size releases in my collection. I believe they'll be using these for future releases. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even words like thru and gotten/garbage/homicide etc are creeping into Britain, so I suppose 88 thinks we love all things America. It's probably most likely down to less plastic, less extras like posters. HK blu ray's are on the slimline design too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the change only affects UK customers it'd be interesting if they could just poll us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do look better than the blue cases, I must admit, and certainly better than the transparent cases.
