"Three Extremes": will it get a DVD release?
Anyone know if "Three Extremes" (the movie that is actually 3 short Asian horror films) will be getting a DVD release? It's only playing at one theater that's not too close to my home for a couple more days, so I'm not sure I'll be able to see it. Hopefully they release it on DVD, so that I can see it.

I've had the DTS R0 since February. It's a 2-disc set. You might want to check with import places. I know there's a R3 version so not sure how hard it is to find the R0 nowadays since the movie was released here.
There's also a full-version of the 2nd short Dumplings DVD out there.
I highly recommend it.

That would be terrific - where did you "hear" this news?

maybe it's resequenced for the non-US version but 'Dumplings' is the first short. Damn! and I just ordered 'Dumplings' from YesAsia for 12 bucks.

I can't tell if the R1 is the full, uncut for all 3 films? is it and would this be the best choice given all the regions presentation?

Even though I have the HK dvd, this is an automatic buy for me.

I didn't know there was a single disc HK version. The 2nd disc has behind-the-scenes featurettes for each story. They're subtitled in English. There's a text "Story of..." for each one also. Finally there is a trailer for Three Extremes and a trailer for Dumplings. The case is housed in a slipcase.

Three...Extremes (Saam gaang yi) is a in-name sequel to Saam gaang. Presumably they called it Three...Extremes because the original Saam gaang was known as plain old "Three" in English and "Three 2" would sound goofy. Lionsgate has now decided to confuse the hell out of everybody by picking up the original Saam gaang and releasing it as Three...Extremes Volume 2, even though it came out first.
