Are they the same audio tracks that are present on the Eureka release? Do you also know if John Woo was contacted to do an interview? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say that Eureka has already released this title but I wanted another crack at it. It's probably my favorite HK film. Fingers crossed we can pull off a miracle and find some rare lost footage for it. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's what I'm thinking then the extended prison scenes and basketball match would be great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member dwk Posted February 15, 2023 Member Share Posted February 15, 2023 Criterion is releasing Branded to Kill on UHD in May. As with all their UHDs so far, it has the same special features as the Blu-ray. New 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack One 4K UHD disc of the film and one Blu-ray with the film and special features Interviews with director Seijun Suzuki and assistant director Masami Kuzuu Interview with Suzuki from 1997 Interview with actor Joe Shishido Trailer PLUS: An essay by critic and historian Tony Rayns Bit of a surprise that the first Japanese title to get a UHD from Criterion is a Seijun Suzuki film. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member nahnahnah Posted March 7, 2023 Member Share Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) Just some harmless speculation but there are rumors going around that Warner Bros will license Pedicab Driver and The Blade to Criterion and will be released next year: <br /> There is also a rumor from the person that revealed Janus/Criterion had the rights to Eastern Condors that Criterion will be doing their own scan of it, though there is a chance that they just reuse the restoration found on the Eureka disc.

Member thundered mantis Posted March 9, 2023 Member Share Posted March 9, 2023 That would be so great news. BTW Warners vaults do also contain Tsui Siu Ming's Mirage of Martial Arts and License to Steal don't they? Maybe they will become more flexible to lend their goods go? A pristine License to Steal HD has surfaced anyway on chinese stations but can't find it for the life of me. We need our @NoKUNGFUforYU to make his magic on this one... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member KenHashibe Posted March 14, 2023 Member Share Posted March 14, 2023 New Michelle Yeoh collection added to the Criterion Channel featuring Yes, Madam! (1985), Royal Warriors (1986), Magnificent Warriors (1987), Police Story 3: Super Cop (1992), The Heroic Trio (1993), Executioners (1993), The Stunt Woman (1996), and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000). All appear to be the new 4k remasters, except for The Stunt Woman which is standard definition. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Yihetuan Posted May 5, 2023 Member Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) I know Criterion is supposed to release Heroic Trio 1 & 2 on blu ray sometime soon (I hope) but man, wish they would release it on 4K UHD like Carlotta Films recently did for their steelbook June release.

Not that I'm aware of if you want English subs. Of course, these aforementioned Carlotta 4K UHDs are also going to be available as standard Region B blu rays as well but French subs only.

Someone on the Blu-ray.com forums said they went to a screening of Heroic Trio in the UK and it opened with the Janus Films logo. So I'd expect Criterion to release them in the UK shortly after they get around to releasing them in the US. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member nahnahnah Posted June 22, 2023 Member Share Posted June 22, 2023 The Criterion Channel will be adding the Once Upon a Time in China series next month.

Both of these titles open with the Criterion Collection and Janus Films logos, which signifies that they own the home video and theatrical rights. Even though 88 already released Miracles on blu in the U.K, it would be great to see Criterion releasing it on 4K, though it's most likely that they will just sit on the rights just like they have with the other Jackie Chan titles that they have the rights to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be surprised if they do someday do Love Unto Wastes. They did Rouge, and that is Kwan too right? I firmly believe the Golden Harvest 4K 88 Films has teased is going to be a Miracles 4K. They already upgraded Dragons Forever, and this is the other big Jackie film they own that was restored in 4K. I doubt Criterion would give it a 4K treatment, let alone decent extras and a Djeng commentary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
