Jet dropped out because his former manager was murdered by triads, who tried to get Jet to star in their movies by threatening his manager. Jet signed with Charles Heung's production company after dropping out from Crime Story. As for Jet Li titles... I'm all for his contemporary action movies and few of his periodic ones. So I'm looking forward to Tai Chi Master, Fist of Legend, and The Bodyguard From Beijing. It's a long shot but I hope we will get releases of Born to Defence, Dragon Fight, and the fully uncut version (only available on the French DVD) of Kiss of the Dragon. I don't know about about Born to Defence but Dragon Fight still in the vaults of Warner's Archive. I'm told WB doesn't have any plans to release it anytime soon not even in it's 35th anniversary. Like the other HK Flims including the Jackie Chan flim's they have the rights to. Warner's will not take down their price knowing 88 or Eureka not only can't afford it but won't let them not taking the chance of either company outshining them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see what we can do to change this situation- please sign this petition to let Warner Brothers know how much we all want those Golden Harvest titles released on Blu-ray (or even 4K): https://www.kungfufandom.com/topic/30429-petition-for-warner-brothers-to-release-golden-harvest-titles-in-their-vault/#comment-409411 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member thundered mantis Posted April 12 Member Share Posted April 12 Sorry if this has been already clarified, but I only find FOL UHD preorder on USA based stores and not in Amazon UK nor 88 Films site. Is it gonna be a US exclusive release? I was refraining from preorder waiting for an UK retailer to carry it, but so far no joy... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member thundered mantis Posted April 14 Member Share Posted April 14 Thank you all guys. I had missed the Amazon UK link. Now I know it's also a UK release I'll wait for it to show on 88 page to use some discounts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AslanBey Posted April 20 Member Share Posted April 20 Just checked on amazon uk whether I missed the release dates of upcoming releases. 1. Why ist it that 88 doesnt show all upcoming releases on their main homepage where one can actually buy those releases although other places already have enough information and material to offer preorders on them?? Some movies can be found on the website months before, whereas other ones cannot. (Eureka is way better considering this) 2. I saw "Island of fire" and "to kill with intrigue" are going to be released very soon. Another liability position on my bank account...yay (Without amazon I wouldnt see those.) 3. I also saw that "to kill with intrigue" is going to have also a dvd-release 3.1 is this true? 3.2 if yes: why dont other movies get dvd releases and just tkwi?? 3.3 who the hell still buys dvds??? 4. Any information when "Taichi master" is going to be released? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member starschwar Posted April 23 Member Share Posted April 23 It is weird that the official store is lagging behind other retailers for listings. I prefer to order direct from the source, especially considering how complicated a hypothetical overseas return could be when there's a middleman involved on such a niche product. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member lastninja Posted April 23 Member Share Posted April 23 I'm with @AslanBey. Also prefer to order directly from their site. Just saw, that they finally have Fist Of Legend in the coming soon section. For now it is marked with "sold out". Hope this is a temporary placeholder and it will be able to preorder soon. In fact, I once asked 88 Films whether a title could be sold out before it was available for pre-order on their shop page. Unfortunately I can no longer find the email. From my memory I can only say that this was denied. They always offer the films for sale on their own site, just much later than other shops. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a guess of course I have no information but perhaps 88 and amazon&hmv etc have some kind of deal not to launch pre-orders well in advance and Eightyeight gains something. Such policy otherwise makes no sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member starschwar Posted April 24 Member Share Posted April 24 I hope Island of Fire gets listed soon. Hyped to the moon for Fist of Legend, but I want to be reasonable when it comes to consolidating stuff for shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that's been my luck... Then you'll place an order...and Oh... there it is back in stock. I try to consolidate to ship all to US, but sometimes things go out of stock if I wait too long. Another one of the frustrations of trying to order directly with them. I wish they made things easier. Edited April 24 by bickle14 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
