Tiger Cage.

Not news but I'm moving house and thought I'd share some of the random things I found stuffed in a box at the back of a cupboard. Some greats I'd totally forgotten about that need the blu ray treatment!
I'd completely forgotten about Gozu! One of Takeshi Miike's weirdest films AND I found Above The Law, which I didn't know I owned, just in time for 88 films to announce a deluxe edition ‍♂

What's interesting about Righting Wrongs (Above the Law) is that there's apparently two different versions of the film depending on whether you watched it in Cantonese or Mandarin, and 88 is apparently including both.

For those interested, 88 Films now have Half a Loaf of Kung Fu, Hero, and Human Lanterns all up for pre order.

Better late than never!
Now the question of is it Kung Fu Hustle 2 or Kung Fu 2 Hustle and the bigger question of why not Kung Fu Tustle?!?!

88 Films have added Seventh Curse to their website and for the first time I've notice they seem to have tweaked the artwork a bit.

Spoiler: New Artwork

Spoiler: Old Artwork

Looks like the folks who are working on the Tiger Cage Trilogy have more projects in the works. Those on BD forum speculate it's going to be the first five In the Line of Duty films (which features actress Michelle Yeoh of Everything Everywhere All at Once & Shang-Chi fame) due to their planned release in Germany.

Hopefully! I've only seen the HKL released ones:
Police Assassins (Yes, Madam!)
In The Line Of Duty (In The Line Of Duty 4)
It'll be very interesting to see how they're named this time around haha
