I would personally be very suspicious of such a low buy it now price on eBay for a 3 movie set. Despite the seller's protestations to the contrary, it could well be a boot. My personal policy is to avoid eBay for import DVDs.

that's an authentic trilogy...produced by mainland china. meaning it's in mandarin with no cantonese (original film is in cantonese).

The price is low, but it's definitely not the best set out there.

A little bit of advice

If you really want this set then get it. Don't mess about. Once it's gone that's it.

Still listed as in stock here

any vendors that take paypal?

Josh Z

Daniel, are those your pics or did you snag them from a retailer site? I'd love to add some of them to my review.

SaigonaZn69

wow that set is a beauty, problem is the most i've ever spent on a dvd is 40 bucks... is that set really worth over a hundred bucks?

Daniel Windsor

Not my images. They are from the Web, although I did have to tidy them up.

I'm sure if you put a disclaimer on the images there would be no reason why you can't use them.

that site that you gave, is it reliable? if so ill order immediately!

Very helpful company.

I ordered my House of Flying Dagger HK LE from them, and everything went well. If I already didn't own the Infernal Affairs Trilogy, I would order it from them for that price, but be warned that shipping will be a bit high because the box is pretty big.

Thanks for the link. I really, really enjoyed the original Infernal Affairs, but the review has pretty much confirmed my doubts regarding parts 2 and 3. Don't think it worth my time or money getting those.

Josh Z

Ummmm, but I say really nice things about part 2 and don't exactly badmouth part 3?

I think they're worth watching, at least, even if you're skeptical. Maybe don't pick up the expensive box set, but the cheaper standalone editions are worth your time.

Ahab

I didn't get the impression from your review that parts 2 and 3 were bad movies, rather that they fell rather short of the first movie. And I've gotten the same feeling reading other reviews. Guess I'm one of those people who don't mind not knowing as much as I can about what the main characters did prior to or after what is shown in the original movie. The only reason I could see for checking them out would be if the consesus seemed to be that parts 2 and 3 were on the same level of quality as that first movie.

Josh Z

I think it should be looked at not as one good movie and two sequels, but as a complete entity broken into three parts. There are some ups and downs along the way, but the sum total is greater than any of the individual pieces.

You wouldn't skip The Two Towers and Return of the King because you heard they weren't as good as Fellowship of the Ring, would you?

Ahab

'Fraid that's a bad example since I disliked FotR so much I never went on to the next two movies. Also, the LOTR is one long story, only broken into a 'trilogy' because of its length.

In any case, I think a more apt analogy might be the Godfather movies. I have very much enjoyed I & II but have little interest in watching III. I've always felt that the ending of II was so powerful that any attempt to follow the further adventures of Michael C. would be anti-climactic. (Actually I felt the same about I, but the reviews for II were so glowing that I had to check it out.) I kind of have the same feeling with the ending of Infernal Affairs.

Anyways, I'm not like this about all movies and their sequels. Have lately been having fun working my way through the Zatoichi series.
