  • Sadly, the film itself is nowhere near as fun as the cover!

      Agreed, but I want to support the line and keep them going so I'll probably pick it up anyway.

        • Out on 22nd March from Eureka & includes the alternate extended Taiwanese version of Twinkle, Twinkle, Lucky Stars also fully restored in 4K.

          • So a post at the Blu-ray.com forum pointed out that that the uncut Drunken Master II is available digitally from Warner Brothers on both Amazon and Vudu. But, and it is a big but, it is only the English dub and there is no audio on the end of the film because it was never dubbed into English. Hopefully this is a sign that Miramax's rights are finally expiring and that we can get a US Blu with proper subtitles.

              Full press release:

              SYNOPSIS
              Three action packed comedy classics come to Blu-ray for the first in the UK from brand new 4K restorations! The original trilogy of Lucky Stars films were massively successful both in Hong Kong and internationally. Featuring star-studded ensemble casts including Sammo Hung (also directing), Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao, and appearances from Richard Ng, Andy Lau, Rosamund Kwan, Moon Lee, Dick Wei, James Tien and many more!


              Winners and Sinners (1983) - Five former prisoners form a cleaning company and endeavour to keep clear of crime, but inadvertently find themselves in the middle of a counterfeit money scheme, and now the Triads and the police are out to get them!


              My Lucky Stars (1985) - The Lucky Stars are sent to Japan to help the police apprehend a gang of dangerous criminals and a corrupt cop. Of course nothing goes to plan, and a series of gut-busting and neck-breaking action sequences ensue, leading up to one of the best climactic fight sequences ever filmed.


              Twinkle, Twinkle, Lucky Stars (1985) - Tasked with busting a crime syndicate, the Lucky Stars wreak havoc in a holiday paradise with their unique brand of high-kicking justice and outrageous antics.

                  • From 88 Films...

                    The Young Master - Special Deluxe Edition - 25th Jan (TBC)

                    Jackie Chan was already a star when he made The Young Master but this film took him to another level. He plays 'Dragon' who undertakes a mission to find his missing brother, and gets into plenty of scrapes along the way - not least being mistaken for a criminal that the authorities are very keen to put behind bars....

                    The Young Master was Jackie's second film as director, and he used it as a showcase to demonstrate just what he could do. And it remains a firm favourite of the fans, featuring some of the best set-pieces he ever cooked up. The black-belts at 88 Films are thrilled to present the UK Blu-ray premier of this true Hong Kong classic.

                    This very special edition features a limited edition Rigid Slipcase, an 80 page perfect bound book with contributions from Tim Murray, William Blaik and James Oliver, a premium fold-out poster and 6 lobby cards.

                    We are including 3 cuts across 2 discs:

                    The Hong Kong Cut
                    The Export Cut
                    The Extended Export Cut

                    With multiple audio tracks, remastered subtitles, amazing new Artwork from Kung Fu Bob and loads of new special features make sure to pre-order your copy now!
                    Full details to be posted on our website soon.

                    • According to this post, Warner Archive was asked about Golden Harvest titles on a recent podcast, and they said that "The WAC added one very important Hong Kong "classic" to the 2021 schedule in their last production meeting that would please fans of Mr. Nice Guy."

                      Maybe Drunken Master II is on tap for next year.
