How dare you say that about Johnny Mnemonic starring Takeshi Kitano. 🤬
I think Johnny Mnemonic holds up better than most others of the time, as a massive fan it does hurt to say Keanu's performance is pi$$ poor 😂
On the plus side the blu ray does include an SD version of the extended Japanese Director's cut which I'll assume has more Beat Takeshi! (Haven't watched it yet).
 
top row recent pickups, took ages to find Trails From Zero for a reduced price

bottom row are all from World Of Books who are having a "30% off when you buy 3" on most of their stock - it's an absolute pain to navigate but there's some good stuff in there. was surprised they had a Sion Sono film and I've been looking for a cheap copy of The Goddess for ages after reading about the tragic life of lead actress Ruan Lingyu, one of China's biggest silent movie stars. "Her funeral procession was reportedly 3 miles (4.8 km) long, with three women committing suicide during the event. The New York Times called it "the most spectacular funeral of the century.""

Saucepans because I needed a better set plus removable handle.

Edit: It appears that imgur is being stupid so the image is likely not going to work
 
Mr Vampire had sequels?! I had no clue! 😲
Yeah there's 2, 3, and 4. None of which are actual sequels to Mr. Vampire, the only one that does follow on is Mr. Vampire 1992 (aka: Chinese Vampire Story) which isn't in this set.

As they've included Vampire Vs Vampire as a sequel then I suppose that also includes Magic Cop and Encounters of a Spooky Kind 2.

Hong Kong cinema milks better than Disney!!
 
Remember that time Hollywood made G Gundam before G Gundam existed?

This is the OOP Shout Factory release. It normally goes for crazy money 2nd hand, but a UK seller had this listed for a relatively reasonableish price. The only in-print release of this movie is the Spanish version, which is apparently on a BD-R and probably doesn't have all the bonus features from the Shout release, so I didn't want to go for that if there was a good alternative.
