I have TVP's Lethal Panther on blu ray. It is quite atrocious looking. They DNR'd it quite hard and way oversaturated the colors so the whole thing has an unnatural day glow look. 

As for the other 3, seems like Drug Connection is also known as Shaw's Sexy Killer? I am aware of that movie, but I can't find any solid info on the other two at all. Anyone seen them?

Drug Connection is just another aka for Man from Holland which TVP released separately like Lethal Panther.

I've seen Law and Honor & Extreme Project a long time ago. If I recall it's one of those Thomas Tang cut and paste jobs using footage of some gweilos and some Filipino film where a police mole is planted inside a criminal organization. The typical IFD terrible acting by the Westerners and cut rate action. I believe both films use the same actors and footage but just edited differently. They're okay as bonus films but it's definitely not incentive enough for me to shell out for this set.

Chor Yuen's BAT WITHOUT WINGS is getting a blu ray + dvd release from the German label, Lucky 7. Will have to check if it's English friendly. They are also releasing Herman Yau's TAXI HUNTER as well.

**These two releases have been confirmed to be German only and are not English friendly**

Is Bat Without Wings one of the Chor Yuen ones based on a Gu Long novel? I just watched Legend of the Bat for the first time last night.

It's based on a novel by Huang Ying. If you have not seen it yet, CLANS OF INTRIGUE is another Gu Long adaptation featuring Chu Liu Xiang and Hu Tie Hua, also played by Ti Lung/ Ling Yun.

Here is a thread dedicated to SB Chu Yuan movies based on Gu Long novels.

@Chu Liu Hsiang Thank you so much! I still need to see Clans of Intrigue. I think I've only seen 8 or 9 Chor Yuen films so far, but I'm really loving his style.

Only German subtitles, as they did for Five Element NInjas and The Dragon Missile, that's too bad.

Fräulein Wirbelwind :bs_cracking_up:

(Fräulein is completely obsolete, it used to be the proper address to unmarried women but that's long ago. nowadays it's only used ironically or more often pejoratively)

The 2nd cover, oh my.

Might get this (with the 1st cover mind you) nevertheless as hubby does not enjoy watching subbed movies.

What's more offensive is the second cover they used - obviously trying to sexy up Angela Mao but it doesn't even look like her in the first place but more like Nancy Kwan. :wondering

2nd cover is the USA Poster from the 70's when it was released as Deep Thrust

Sounds like a 70s porno title.

I believe this is the single 4k disc version and the Blu-ray was already available. I recently purchased the US version of the media book, so look forward to checking it out.

Looks like the bonus movie included on Bruce Lee's Secret due out next month is Edge Of Fury. This has been slated for a solo release for a while but kept getting delayed,perhaps the materials weren't up to a solo release? Don't know why titles like these aren't released as double features,Edge Of Fury is really good .

If Signal One says there are no decent print elements of Edge of Fury worthy of an HD transfer than I'm not expecting much of an upgrade.
