I can't remember the remote sequence off hand but you need to select the error4444 poster to access it in the extras menu. Ah, ok, maybe I saw it, then, but I don' t remember, thanks. ok, I'm an idiot. My remote was low on batteries and didn't even realize that's why I couldn't move the arrow. So I replaced the batteries and discovered the 'easter egg' on Run & Kill is the Japanese VHS with hard coded Japanese subs (English on top) , 4:3 full screen. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only going to be 1500 for me as I only have my eyes on the "retro" art covers as the "new" art ones don't appeal to me at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your chances just quadrupled! I'm a little confused. The image above says "retro art side A & side B" and "new art side A & side B". So isn't that two cover variations (with front & back sides = side A & B), not four? Or I'm a misreading it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 1500 total copies divided evenly between the retro & new art. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member lastninja Posted April 29 Member Share Posted April 29 I'm only interested in the Hong Kong stuff. Why isn't there an edition of "Red To Kill" with all the extras for this film (lobby cards, posters, etc.)? It's a shame, but USD 150.00 is too much for two films that I can't do anything with.

I'm also holding out for just the individual pre-orders as I don't need all the extras like keychains and multiple slipcovers.

Villain is beast, particularly in the end. Have to skip upgrading dvd to br for now, have no issues with price tag of 36$ but additional costs for international orders make it too expensive for upgrade. Maybe standard edition one day combined to something like mission kill etc...that cover B is disgusting, A is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Knetan Posted April 30 Member Share Posted April 30 13 hours ago, ironfistedmonk said: So whats Red to Kill like? It's one of the extreme ones, from the director of Dr. Lamb and Rung And Kill. Superbly filmed, sync sound, perhaps not the most subtle social commentary and depiction of the mentally challenged. Not to mention the core plot being all kinds of wrong. But if you have the stomach for the intensity, this is a pretty great Category III film that will probably leave you shattered afterwards. Lily Chung deserved a Hong Kong Film Award nomination for her role. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Knetan Posted May 1 Member Share Posted May 1 This one hits more dramatically and the scenes of sexual violence are pretty depraved and raw. Within that slick and stylishly shot frame by Tang's regular cinematographer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
