Would prefer bullet in the head or better tomorrow 2 but if hardboiled that is purchase no need to think about even nanosecond.essential and movie has not aged action still looks great even by todays standards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can secure it I wonder what else they can secure rights to that have been in rights purgatory I would hope if rights are secured they secure A better tomorrow 2 and The Killer as well but I assume their plan would be to get the biggest films A better Tomorrow 1-2,The Killer,Hard Boiled,Bullet in the head and the other big gems if rights can be secured but If they can only get Hard Boiled I would still be happy at least one of the biggest wants would be secured then for fans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a hardcore tech-holic so think would be happy with just good quality..Prison on fire 1&2 are ones would want to see as arrow releases(I do not have korean discs just HK dvd of prison2). Best would be Angel boxset(even as 3rd is not so good still OK but parts 1&2 are masterpieces). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep wondering which label will end up with Angel and In the line of Duty 1-4 and hopefully Killer Angels I do wonder which of the labels out there will release those gems from a very short lived genre 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably import itlod1 from germany if english friendliness is confirmed. It costs(36€+15 shipping) lot but haven`t seen it since vhs days. But if Angel 2 gets released in both countries that will doubledip, it`s best girl with guns movie. Moon Lee is just so amazing specially in the end fight against soldiers. Stanley Tong choreographed if remember correct 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have HKL dvd but if english friendly release will gladly buy german disc..have seen tiger on the beat so many times in past not sure if want to buy it if price is premium although it is good movie. Liu Chia Hui was likely doubled in end fight for a moment. He did leap or jumpkick(been so long since watched it) which did not feel like like him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Drunken Monk Posted April 12, 2022 Author Member Share Posted April 12, 2022 I wonder how they define "latter-day Shaw Bros classics." Isn't Ten Tigers from Kwangtung confirmed for Vol. 2? That's a 1979 film and I'm not sure I'd consider that "latter-day." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing they’re using that very loosely as anything between 1979 and 1985-ish. I’m hoping they cut off at 1985-ish, there’s only a couple post 85-ish films that I think would qualify. I could see them adding the bare-footed kid or the jet li Shaolin temple. I hope they don’t. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
