@DiP it's good to see that you're finally warming up to Donnie Yen and his films a bit. :laugh

This was also posted on 88 Films Instagram last night (and I know that the cover art is already in the can)...

I can think of two of his earlier films that I'd like to see, but probably 1% chance.

One of them will most likely get a HK bluray release by Panorama seeing how they have released several of Joy Sales' unremastered titles before. It's only a matter of time.

I heard from a good source that it's Mismatched Couples? Is my source still reliable?

New release of Dragon Fist? Magnificent Bodyguards? Fearless Hyena2 is pretty much Confirmed..I guess uncut Island of fire there is very little to none hope. Hell, dragon fist new scan I am happy with it.

Those ambiguous answers regarding Chow Yun Fat and John Woo are giving me all kinds of mixed feelings.  I understand that they can't outright say some things in advance, but the non-denials can be frustrating.

@KUNG FU BOB honestly... what a nice artwork for the project a release. The single covers for both movies are very very nice. Extremely inviting for warching the movies.

The big one with the 10 jackies is also good, but the background could be more colour- or "actionful". My 5 cents...

Heavily excited for this release.

Thanks for the kind words and constructive feedback. :bigsmile::bs_martialgreeting:

This set has been in the works for a long time and the team put a tremendous amount of work into making it as cool as the movies themselves. I can't wait to get this and finally show these two movies to my son. :nerd:

Magnificent Bodyguards would be ok. Not the best of Jackie‘s movies but so far there are only crappy releases (German & Japanese BD as well as French DVD really suck). The Taiwanese cut of Island of Fire deserves an upgrade but also Rumble in the Bronx and First Strike.

There are some facts among those guesses, which is all I can say about it for now. :wink:

I understand your pain. :09:

This is going to be an amazing year for Hong Kong stuff from 88 Films. AMAZING!

Yup. He wasn't really into Hong Kong cinema until the last 5-10 years (he's 29), but now has a big appreciation for what he's seen. He loves THE KILLER, HARDBOILED, and the JC classics he's seen, and I got him the Criterion Wong Kar-Wai set for his birthday and he watched and enjoyed every bit of it. I also introduced him to Korean and Japanese cinema and he's been borrowing and watching loads of stuff. Fortunately, he's a serious cinephile, but not a pretentious one. He was as enthusiastic about THE BOXER'S OMEN as he was about Kurosawa's STRAY DOG, appreciating each for their merits within their genre and time period. So viewing the PROJECT A films with him will be a joy.
