That means I can finally retire my copy of the Hong Kong bluray, which has great video/audio but terrible subtitles. That was exactly what I was thinking! HK-generated subtitle translations of Chow's films are notoriously substandard. And yes, I really hope it is MAGNIFICENT SCOUNDREL. I've picked up the Panorama blu earlier this year during a shopping spree in HK, but didn't get to watch it yet. Actually, I can't think of any films where new sub translations are more essential than with Chow Sing Chi's oeuvre. Couldn't believe how much I enjoyed 88's FORBIDDEN CITY COP with properly translated subs, the one's on the old HK blu ray were just so friggin' lousy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a Lobby Card - well done! So, "Not coming in Q1" is an odd way of phrasing things. It is coming, right? I mean, if it's good enough for the Criterion Collection, it must be good enough for 88, right? Here's hoping Magnificent Bodyguards is up first.

Member Knetan Posted November 16, 2023 Member Share Posted November 16, 2023 I like the film but kind of wish they had done sync sound Cantonese and Mandarin mixed, one one track. As it stands now, I find myself switching to Mandarin for Shu Qi and Zhao Wei's scenes and back to Cantonese for Karen Mok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loathe that movie with a passion anyways, so I'm glad its not Q1.

I sure hope that the reason it's not been announced is because they are doing new 4K restorations for a good UHD release... Also, still holding out hope for Organized Crime & Triad Bureau. They liked my comment on instagram, which likely means nothing, but I will still hope. It's so good! And they already did one Kirk Wong movie (granted it had Jackie), so hopefully they release the Hong Kong Heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always clicked the reward tab in the bottom right and used what I had to apply to my order, but for the past 2 weeks when I click the tab there isn't an option to use my balance anymore? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
