Full extras and specs announced for Island Of Fire.
Four men of iron face their destinies within the harsh walls of a Taiwanese prison. Steve (Jackie Chan) is a gambler seeking to atone for his sins. Andy (Tony Leung) is an undercover cop solving a crime. Lee (Andy Lau) is a gangster looking for vengeance. John (Sammo Hung) is a lifer seeking to reunite with his son.
For this slice of Chinese jailhouse rock, producer Wang Yu brought together both the finest talent in Asian cinema and the finest scenes from ‘Bad Boys’, ‘Cool Hand Luke’, ‘Papillon’ and every classic Hollywood prison movie ever! Our heroes get time off for bad behaviour, leading to a furious final ‘Wild Bunch’ style showdown.
Island of Fire sees Jackie Chan deliver a new level of fury!

Coming 9/23 in the UK and 9/24 in North America.
"Jackie Chan leaps out of the screen in Magnificent Bodyguards, the first Hong Kong movie shot in 3D! The icon joins a team of guards who are escorting an ill man across a land filled danger and possible death, a land known as Stormy Hills, but does the man hold a deadly secret? Directed by Wei Lo, the person who gave the world the Bruce Lee classics The Big Boss and Fist of Fury, this is prime mandarin madness with a score which will be familiar to lovers of a certain successful sci-fi saga."

Cool. Given the abundance of German bootleg releases of HK titles, you can understand my initial skepticism.

Deadly Friend and Cobra are a couple of others they have that spring to mind.

Odd, I wasn't aware they licensed out to anyone outside Criterion, Shout, Arrow, and BFI.

Coming from 88 Films in April.
""By the early 1980s, Jackie Chan’s popularity made him box-office gold. Thus when, midway through filming the sequel to his hit The Fearless Hyena, Chan walked off the production to defect to rival studio Golden Harvest, producer Lo Wei opted to complete the film with the help of stunt doubles and recycled footage. The result—the tale of two lazy cousins (Chan and Austin Wai Tin-chi) who join forces to avenge the deaths of their fathers—may not be pure Chan, but there are plenty of loony pleasures (including our hero fighting an adversary with his feet!) to be had.
