Moving on, I noticed the UK listing for GOD OF GAMBLERS now has special features listed:


And TENTACLES:
And ARK OF THE SUN GOD 4K:

Frank has said his commentaries between the labels will be different.

Not surprised at all. Sounds like a good racket once you get in on it.

Didn't see this mentioned earlier. 88 has Wong Jing's THE LAST BLOOD (1991) scheduled for July 25th. This is a solid show that I suspect a lot of folks may not be familiar with, despite it long carrying the inane co-title HARD BOILED 2 while having nothing whatsoever to do with that film, and actually coming out before it. That retitling took place in the UK, by the reputed super-fans at Eastern Heroes, trying to impose their little 'stamp' on the movies they championed with their tapes (a habit continued by the infamous Bey Logan via Made In Hong Kong and Dragon Dynasty). The Germans were just as bad, calling it HARD BOILED 3. Interestingly enough, the original US release title – I don't recall a home video release, though -- was 12 HOURS OF TERROR, which is virtually the same as the actual Chinese title. I really wish 88 Films had left that 'HB 2' off the artwork and just let the movie stand on its own, as it has on all of its HK physical media releases down through the ages. But whatever . . . just happy to have it on Blu.

Specs:

• High Definition (1080p) Blu-ray™ presentation in 1.85:1 Aspect Ratio
• Lossless 2.0 Cantonese Mono
• Newly Translated English Subtitles
• Audio Commentary by Hong Kong Film Expert Frank Djeng
• Theatrical Trailer

Not much in the way of extras, which doesn't surprise me, but I'm relieved that there's only one commentary this time. That's all a lot of these films really need.

I just put in my order for the 88 films Supercop 4K release. A little expensive at $29.99, but I’ll suck it up to support the physical media release. I only have Supercop on DVD from Dragon Dynasty, so this is an upgrade for me.
