Same here...yesasia's site is weird about it...I'll look at it one second and it'll be there...and then literally about a minute later it'll vanish again...it's like they don't even have it in their database...but my order still says processing...so here's hoping...I don't know why but I'm having a bad feeling about it, like I'll get an email from yesasia saying my order is cancelled or something....

It's still up for pre-order at dvdAsian for $19.

The film is still in cinemas in Hong Kong, so the e-tailers have been asked to take it off their sites until the theatrical run is over. CD Wow, at least, will honor orders already made, and I would imagine the others will too.

DDDHouse still has it up for pre order.

isn't the price on yesasia like, 130 or something? what a rip.

I saw this film at Sundance last night. Didn't love it at all. It's more Looney Tunes than anything else. So you might want to hold off on spending TONS of money on this flick as it's not worth it.

flashburn

Maybe to you it isnt worth it. But, that doesn't mean that others can't/don't love the movie, and are willing to spend out the ass for some crazy LE.

Trigger

ok geoff.. thanks for the heads up - guess I won't order it now.

royalwithcheese

i just got mine from DDDhouse, but do you think i ordered too late to get the extra special stuff like the watch and calender etc? it says those who order before the end of january are likely to get the stuff, but i'm like on the cusp...who else ordered from dddhouse?

Miike-Mouse

I ordered from DDDHouse too, but got in even before they advertised having the free watch etc. If your worried royalwithcheese, email them. There customer service is excellent.

Trigger

doesn't the watch just come with the set anyway?

I saw this at Butt-Numb-a-Thon 6 late last year, and I have to say this movie is well worth whatever you guys are paying for it. I guess really, for the same reasons the above poster said he didn't like it, I liked. The over the top fighting, the cartoon like CGI effects, the Looney Toons homages, it's all just fun. That's what it's there for, and for no other reason. Enjoy it.

Congrats to Kung Fu Hustle & Stephen Chow. It has now unseated his own work (Shaolin Soccer) to become Hong Kong' highest-grossing local film.

GeoffK

If nothing else at least you'll have realistic expectations....

For my money I'm more excited about Ong-Bak. When there's a legit release w/ english subs, I'm all over it.

Trigger

I didn't mean anything by it - I just laughed because nothing anyone could say would stop me from buying this film.

royalwithcheese

ong bak had good fight scenes, but lame plot...atleast KFH is a decent movie as a whole including the story (which is pretty funny) whereas ong bak is just a bunch of oohs and aaahs. (i finished seeing ong bak and was like, wow, he's awesome...i'd like to see him in a good movie).

Trigger

his next movie has the same plot pretty much... you might have to wait. Although, Jackie Chan wants to do something with him... so maybe the wait won't be that long.

Brent L

I just bought it, and with a rating of 7.6/10 on IMDB, and great reviews from other sources, I'm really excited about it. I saw the trailer for it before Flying Daggers, and it looks awesome.

mrhan

Off topic but since it has already been bought up----is anyone going to go watch the Luc Besson cut of Ong Bak at the theatre? I've seen the movie several times already on DVD but I am looking forward to seeing it on the big screen.

Trigger

Heck yeah... I'm quite interested to see a tighter cut of that film. Luc knows what he's doing too I think. But this is indeed off topic.

Deke Rivers

Cd-Wow has this back up on thier site for 18.50 US with free delivery. Site shows 2/25 as the release date

royalwithcheese
