SWM is now on Amazon as 9th November rather than 26th October, looks like 88Films are having a few little issues with these upcoming releases.

Yes, and New fist of fury too. I re eived notifications from zoom.uk and they tell me that New Fist of Fury will be released on the 30th of November, and that The young master is "TBC", but I don't know what it means...

To Be C...?

Confirmed.

88 Films sent an email today apologizing for their pre-order issues. I assume this is in reference to their delayed release dates.

Spiritual Kung Fu is now available on their site for pre-order. Oddly, both a Blu Ray and DVD version.

I’d def pick up something like Maximum Risk. Even Double Team and Knock Off, but Street Fighter? Haha not sure. Wish there was an uncut version before they toned it down for the kids.

Yeah I noticed a few weeks back on Amazon they had Spritual Kung Fu on DVD as well as Blu Ray and I assumed it was a mistake. It does seem strange that it's just this one title with a DVD release and I wonder why they bothered, surely most people have got Blu Ray by now,

Another home run. 👍 @KUNG FU BOB needs to release slipcovers only for Dragon Fist, Battle Creek Brawl, Snake&Crane and To Kill with Intrigue. The original ones look so out of place to the KFB ones now.

Yep, would be a cool thing to do. Maybe sell them on the 36 styles website (with 88's Permission?)

I think there would be interest in these titles being re-released with new artwork & commentaries as you're right they do look out of place compared to later releases. They could add a few extras & fine tune the releases like HKL did with their platinum editions, i'd buy Snake & Crane again if they added subtitles (without SDH).

I’d like complete re-releases of the earlier Lo Wei titles and Battle Creek Brawl. The cases do look out of place now and I think the picture quality could look much better having seen how Fearless Hyena, Spiritual Kung Fu etc turned out. Added Bob and Bentley commentaries would be nice too.

Problem would be i don't see 88 restoring these themselves so it would be down to Fortune Star to go back to them again.I can't see it, though the aspect ratio iss ue on Brawl should only be a small fix.

^^^This right here. For DRAGON FIST and THE BATTLE CREEK BRAWL at the very least, as those two look pretty bad. I have DF and S&CAOS already but I’d totally double-dip for Kung Fu Bob-enhanced remasters, I mean, who wouldn’t?

Thoroughly enjoyed Spiritual Kung Fu. Had only seen it once many moons ago but was a poor copy and I couldn’t remember much of the movie other than clips in documentaries. Great Kung Fu from Jackie. The film looks and sounds amazing and I’ll definitely be re-watching this one.
