The standard release can be ordered at Eureka's webstore for £27.99.The Elegant Dandy Fop wrote: ↑Wed Mar 24, 2021 12:32 pmWas really annoyed at how quick the Lucky Stars collection sold out. I literally tried ordering it this morning and scalpers on eBay are already selling it at double the value. I just want to see Sammo Hung punch a man in drag in the dick!
Agreed! I own the HK Blu of Spooky Encounters and the restoration looks amazing but, unfortunately, no extras. Excited to find out more tomorrow.
Mike Leeder hasn't been on a MoC release for a while. I don't know why, but I sometimes get the feeling it has to do with Eureka allowing pro-Hong Kong democracy comments on a few of their previous releases while Leeder has been openly vocal against the movement and in support of the mainland Chinese government. But don't quote me, it's just a theory.Maltic wrote: ↑Wed Mar 24, 2021 2:24 pmThe Kam & Ronson BD? I was expecting a new rm/transfer for Eureka, actually.
I'm guessing there will at least be a commentary, with either Mike Leeder (not my cup of tea) or Frank Djeng (hit and miss for me, good on Throw Down and Iron-Fisted Monk, less good on Eastern Condors and The Bride With White Hair).
Thanks for mentioning this. Had been sleeping on MoC releases lately and did not know their limited editions have been selling out so quickly. Viy was unavailable yesterday and had been snapped up at all vendors, but Eureka received a "limited amount of stock" back in today.rapta wrote: ↑Wed Mar 24, 2021 11:25 amNext up in June are Robert Wiene's The Hands of Orlac (MoC), Johnnie To's PTU (MoC) and Sammo Hung's Encounters of a Spooky Kind (Eureka Classics).
In unexpected but positive news, apparently first pressing of The Lucky Star 3-Film Collection has already gone OOP, and the initial Limited Edition of Viy is about to go OOP too (the standard reissue will lose the second disc and slipcover).
Also, as has been the fashion of UK boutiques recently, the third volume of Buster Keaton triple-bills is back in stock very briefly. Apparently 50 copies were found in a warehouse and put back on sale this morning, and they're already down to 25 so it seems to be flying out of the door!
