Heads up for those who had yet to acquire Jet Li's The Master, it seems the first print add-ons (slipcase etc) did not come with someone's order when they ordered directly with 88.

Another heads up for people ordering direct from 88 it seems they've upped the price of their upcoming Shaw Bros releases to £17.99 which pretty much negates their loyalty program as its now £3 cheaper to buy them from Amazon 
And £35 for Anaconda set compared to £25 on Amazon...

An update to 88 Films direct site
So upping the prices of blu rays + p&p is £3 with no free delivery for x amount spent (unless they haven't updated that yet).
I still think the company is great and will continue to get their releases but unfortunately it'll have to be exclusively through Amazon. Which is a shame because their loyalty program was fantastic but they've effectively nuked it

I watched Dolls by Takeshi Kitano (on DVD, the transfer was also v good for SD) yesterday I thought it was wonderful stunning cinematography and very poignant 
Gorgeous music as well. And a lot less violent than most of his other films are from what I've heard so I could actually handle this one XD

You should really watch Kikujiro, my favourite Takeshi Kitano film.

I have actually seen some of that one and it's on my mental list of things to finish one day - though I didn't like it as much as I thought I would, I didn't hate it either and I would like to see the rest
Artwork has been revealed for the upcoming Blu-ray box set of Nobuhiko Obayashi’s Anti-War Trilogy, coming 13th December 2021 from Third Window Films.
Alongside Hanagatami (which was previously released by them last year) are Casting Blossoms to the Sky (includes 45 minute Interview with Nobuhiko Obayashi) and Seven Weeks (includes 75 minute Making of).
The box set will also be packaged similarly to the Toshiaki Toyoda collection which is a digipack and will also include a booklet by historian Aaron Gerow.
Rather delayed but worth the wait. Here's the latest on the Asian Cinema schedule for this forum! When available I will also include links to their official stores (for instance Third Window will have links to Terracotta because that's the best way to support them, 88 Films with links to 88's store etc).

Chinese Boxer & Disciples of Shaolin have both been pushed.
Chinese Boxer -
88 films + Amazon = 8th November
Disciples of Shaolin -
88 films = n/a
Amazon = 13th December
Edit:
Apparently Shaolin Mantis has dropped all the way to March 19th 2022!
I expect every other upcoming 88 films release to similarly shift in the next few days.
not Armour of God!
