If the extras are in HD I see no harm in 2 discs. Digital Copy is rubbish though.

I imagine soon, now the Bruce Lee titles are out. Well WOTD is still to come.

I wouldn't get those on HD. I'm happy with my PS3 IVL DVD. I wouldn't get any Jackie Chan film on BD.

Oh No He Doesn't, except for PS3!

I used to own PS HKL but I got rid years back, have never owned PS2 and have owned 2 versions of PS3. Which is a DVD-9 Bootleg rip of the IVL DVD as they never bother to sell them separately. I was going to get the DD R1 but there isn't a compelling reason to own it.
romerojpg wrote:Classy :D
It's a DVD-9 direct copy of the original, so identical quality and like I said IVL never gave me the choice.

PS3 is his best IMO, then Dragons Forever. They're the only two I'd keep (although ironically I'm about to put Dragons Forever on to eBay). Who Am I is pretty good too. Of all the JC Asian films I've seen (which is about a dozen) I've only really enjoyed 2 of them. Rush Hour, Rush Hour 2, Shanghai Noon are also good but obviously very different.

The Forbidden Kingdom and Rush Hour 3 I already own :bounce: I like em both and both look stunning.

I would consider upgrading
Gorgeous
Thunderbolt
Armour of God 1 and 2


It's all about price for his other films, no way I want to splash the cash out on more discs. They would also have to be some upgrade as well.

You could've tried to steal the box set from some import store. And then maybe sell parts 1 & 2 and even make some money :)
