Wow, my favorite movie of all time, although I did sell my Criterion DVD for $200 a couple years back, so I can be bought.
Oh, no! The Dragon Dynasty website shows it as rated G!!!

The year is also messed up (1960), but I trust the cover art.

It would be nice to have the full version, have only seen that once. Though I realize that's not his "directors cut", so hopefully we can have multiple versions. Not holding my breath though.

Just a personal thing I guess, but I was hoping they would have released Hard Boiled first. Both are Woo at his best though, so I'll gladly be taking this one as well. But I don't have high hopes this offering will bring us any great improvements over the previous DVD releases in the past.

It's been brought to my attention that the "Woo's masterpiece" quote on the front cover was taken from my old review of the John Woo Collection import DVD set.

I'd love to get this, but I will wait for reviews first. DD has let us down too many times.

Well, it's not like they mention my name or anything, just the site that I no longer work for.
Besides which, they only pulled two words from the review. Honestly, if this hadn't been brought to my attention, I could have held this disc in my hands and not recognized that quote as being from something I wrote. I would've assumed that they pulled it from a more recent review of a different DVD edition.
