The most recent Jackie film I saw was The Myth (!) (unless The Forbidden Kingdom counts) both were pretty good, fun films imo :)
I know he features in Shaolin but I havent seen it yet. Shinjuku Incident - not seen
I havent seen 1911 though I hear thats a lot of boring crap :?

I wasnt sure if FK counted as a true "starring" role or not or more a supporting role, with Jet he's certainly one of the top stars in it :dontknow:

I was thinking of picking up the HK BD of 'Curse of the Golden Flower'.
Its much cheaper at DDD House than Yes Asia but DDD seem to show the cover of the US release so was wondering which version they sell. :?

No reason really, it just seemed reasonably cheap (for a HK release) with better art :)

highly unlikely.it's not Fotune Star releasing these. i imagine they'll be ports of the french releases with english subs added and an english dub replaceing the french one.

Saw this on Blu Ray.com, but Drunken Master is coming (doesnt say when) from Twilight Time (!)

https://www.facebook.com/twilighttimemo ... 7077334959 :rock:
Seems an odd title for a company like that to release, I hope at least its Full HD with a good translation.

I hate Twilight Time - an outfit based on greed who use Limited Edition status as an excuse to fleece consumers with £30 price tags.

There should be no reason to make it such an LE, but when it does come to TT, perhaps that means Sony or another company could release it in the UK? :)

I'm in the States and they annoy me. :D Look at the price of their BD of Breaking Away (unless this is an OOP price.) They have had several I've been interested in, but really just wanting them to be massed released.
