I wonder if its going to be Shanghai Triad? Since Film Movement already released it on blu ray and seems all VS is doing is dressing up their FM's past blu ray releases such as Samurai Wolf, All About Lily Chou-chou and putting them in fancy slipcovers ever since FM became a VS partner label. I also see Rob Jabbaz's The Sadness listed in the banner. I already have the German mediabook, so won't be double dipping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Drunken Monk Posted May 27 Member Share Posted May 27 I’ll double dip on The Sadness if it’s a decent release. A 4K disc would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's not 4K UHD then I'll probably skip it as I got spoiled by the German release. You have the same release right? unless I misheard you during your The Sadness podcast.

It seems I don't need to double dip unless this release truly is stellar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The video and audio are fine. One or two users reported some issues with freezing or the disc stopping mid way but I never experienced it with my Oppo player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Knetan Posted June 3 Member Share Posted June 3 Lifeline is a pretty average melodrama but has top notch stunt work and action involving the fire fighters, fire fighting. Think Backdraft but I always like to call it the Hard Boiled of fire fighter movies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What @Knetan said, I remember there was a butting of heads between the two leads & they have to put their differences aside to work towards a common goal type deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope Stewart got credited for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
