Columbia releases DRUNKEN MASTER on DVD: 1st review is thumbs way up
Fans of Jackie Chan's first big hit, DRUNKEN MASTER, can rest easy. A high quality R1 NTSC version is on its way. No more bullcrap bootlegs or lousy Simitar nightmares. You can even use your 1.78:1 HKL edition as a coaster, because it's now coming in 2.35:1 with the original Cantonese soundtrack!
Full review over at DVD Authority. More titles are planned under the "Destination Films" line, including SHIRI, FULL CONTACT and SNAKE IN THE EAGLE'S SHADOW.
This is the best news fans of Hong Kong cinema have had in years. I applaud Columbia TriStar for doing these films correctly and with the respect they deserve.

Looks fantastic. I have been meaning to get the HKL release for a while. But this one will certainly be in my collection. I'm glad I waited on getting Shiri. The upcoming anime Metropolis will also be in the Destination Films line. Very good news.

Well, now it turns out Hong Kong Legends will be releasing a Platinum edition of Drunken Master. It will feature a new 2.35 transfer. It might be worth holding out for that.
