I tested it out to see that the disc plays and showed "that scene" to my wife who had the appropriate reaction. But as far as how distracting it is or isn't, it's always subjective to each viewer. Personally, I'm used to watching a wide range of picture quality (sometimes so bad you might be looking at a scene and thinking that's either a couple passionately hugging or a bear caught in a phonebooth) having been viewing and collecting Asian cinema since the days of VHS, so I have a high tolerance in that regard. But bad or out-of-sync audio I just can't stomach. I've no idea why there was a number 6 as part of the title on the Thai poster. I wonder if it was marketed there as part of a series, like IN THE LINE OF DUTY or something? I've asked a friend who may know. I'll post here if I find out. Hmmm, I never noticed until you said that Simon Yam and Ray Lui look similar. But it's true, they could've played brothers. Simon Yam also looks very much alike Waise Lee and it often happens that I mistake one for the other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't be the only one shaking my head at this incredulous statement. Simon Yam looks nothing like Waise Lee or Ray Lui other than all 3 are HK actors and born within 4 to 5 years apart. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should've asked her to write out the characters as my OCR software couldn't read the style of font. The bottom set of characters is proper Thai script. Tried looking around the internet for Thai movie posters which I found a lot of, just not of the film in question and I have yet to find a Thai article about it. 20 hours ago, Yggdrasil said: Oh yes, I see what you mean.

But the very cool cat that runs Thai Poster Bliss (https://www.instagram.com/thai_poster_bliss/?g=5) told me that FATAL TERMINATION was released and marked in Thailand as part of the ANGEL (aka. IRON ANGELS, and sometimes MIDNIGHT ANGELS, 1987-89) film series, which, as far as I'm aware, officially consists of just three films. But thanks to his posts we have the following info (I asked his permission before quoting his posts): KILLER ANGELS was released as ANGEL 4 PRINCESS MADAM was released as ANGEL 5 FATAL TERMINATION was released as ANGEL 6 ANGEL'S PROJECT was released as ANGEL 7 THE AVENGING QUARTET was released as ANGEL 8 The link above is for Thai Poster Bliss' Instagram account and it's always cool to see and read the posts there. He recently showed the poster for a wild "girls with guns" film that a lot of us are familiar with, and he had this to say: Dreaming the Reality 1991 Hong Kong 🇭🇰 Artwork by Poj Been trying to find my poster for “Angel 5”, which is actually Princess Madam AKA Under Police Protection, but I can’t locate it for the life of me. In its place, I’ll share this Moon Lee/Yukari Oshima vehicle, which is almost as good as what I was looking for. While this one wasn’t marketed in Thailand as a direct sequel to the Angel series, the title makes some reference to the former. Instead of “Shred Tenderly,” the title translates to “Please Come, Beautiful…Please Don’t Shred.” Something like that. It’s a tough one to translate. Anyhow, this movie rocks, and lots of it was filmed in Chiang Mai, Thailand. My former home. Great info, huh? And what a translation! "Shred Tenderly"- I love it! I wish that was the title it was commonly known by. Anyway, if you're interested in getting some Thai posters, with their gorgeous, painted colors, I highly recommend going here. I really dig that he credits the artists too. You don't see that enough these days on sites. He'll try to find stuff you're seeking, and he's a very nice dude. I've bought posters from him in the past and the service is superb. 18 hours ago, ShawAngela said: Simon Yam also looks very much alike Waise Lee and it often happens that I mistake one for the other. 17 hours ago, Yggdrasil said: Waise Lee has big ears.

I confess that Waise Lee is recognizeable, yes, I made a mistake, or maybe it wasn't with the two others I mentioned that I mistook him and I didn't remember with who it was. I still see some similarities in the following pictures. Name them in the right order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to keep things as confusing as possible. When I first started finding out about all the IN THE LINE OF DUTY movies and how the order and names differ from country to country I felt like my head was spinning a bit. I wonder if the extras/booklets in the recently released set and individual Blu-rays talk about this in detail? I got the 88 Films boxed set and also Eureka's Blu of YES, MADAM, watched the films, but haven't delved into the extras yet.

Member bickle14 Posted October 10, 2023 Member Share Posted October 10, 2023 From their mailing list: RUN AND KILL IS COMING SOON! RELEASE UPDATE! Hey All ~ As always, we just want to take a second to say thank you so much for subscribing and continuing to support our releases. It means the world and we can’t wait to show you what we have coming up next! Currently, we’re working on dropping our RUN AND KILL pre-order this month along with one other title we’ve yet to announce. That’s right! A surprise title! Once discs are finished being authored, we’ll drop art and feature details for each film. In addition, we’ll have a few copies of our limited edition FATAL TERMINATION available when RUN AND KILL pre-orders go live, so for those who missed out, don’t resort to scalper prices just yet! Beyond that, we’ll have standard editions of FATAL TERMINATION available at some point. As always, we’re hard at work on announced and unannounced films. We’re pushing to get a ton out next year, so hold tight. RED TO KILL is in the special feature stage and will be ready early 2024. CHALLENGE OF THE LADY NINJA, THRILLING BLOODY SWORD & IMPERIAL SWORD KILLING THE DEVIL are all being worked on as I type and should be finished by November, which means they’ll also be due in early 2024. All of these films look phenomenal. We’re incredibly proud. Check out some teasers and work-in-progress shots below! Thanks! More soon!

Member Knetan Posted October 10, 2023 Member Share Posted October 10, 2023 Run and Kill is a Category III movie, has a little bit of nudity but mostly presents a pitch black comedic (to me) rollercoaster ride of escalating poor choices and poor luck for the main character. May be disturbing to some, may be wildly funny to others. It earns the Cat. III rating for violence and for setting fire to... persons. If you know you know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member kuenfist Posted October 10, 2023 Member Share Posted October 10, 2023 Run and Kill is one of the highlights of the CAT 3 cinema. It does not stand behind such classics as Ebola Syndrome, The Untold Story, Dr. Lamb.... As knetan says for some of you it can be seen as a black comedy for others it is still a hit in the stomach. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Knetan Posted October 11, 2023 Member Share Posted October 11, 2023 It's also from the director of Dr. Lamb and Red To Kill so not only does it have an accomplished eye behind it. It also has a director who knows how to push buttons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an absolutely brutal thriller. Yes, it does have a very dark humor to it, but for instance, more like FIGHT CLUB humor than say AUSTIN POWERS. This is a film that had me muttering stuff aloud like "Oh no... oh no!" and "Oh my God!" while I watched it. The second time I viewed it was with a friend, and his eyes were practically popping out at one point. Afterwards he was smiling, but shaking his head no and said "Ah man, why did you do that to me? This movie's ***ked up, and you're ***ked up for showing it to me. But... (laughing) it was good. But in a nasty, ***ked up kind of way." I recommend that you avoid trailers or reading anything about it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
