Medium Rare are as you say a smallish company but should they be expected to remaster these titles at their own cost when much bigger companies like Shout! over in the usa (a much bigger market) cannot be arsed.that should be down to the rights owners FS.I'm happy to see these films released knowing 99% of the people who buy them will enjoy what's in front of them.sometimes ignorance is bliss.

Oh, I agree. Medium Rare (and Shout for that matter) should insist upon genuine HD masters as part of their contract. Thus if Fortune Star supply upscales they'll be in breach of contract. Too many companies aren't savvy enough to think ahead. When dealing with HK companies you basically have to expect them to screw you and protect yourself accordingly.

I guess I've never been an ignorance is bliss type of guy...

Theres a rumour over at Blu Ray.com that a Korean release of A Better Tomorrow trilogy is coming:

Whether it'll be like the Fortune Star release (ie upscaled) I dont know. Is the Japanese release true HD?

they'll be the HK upscales,that's all that korean company do,repackage the same transfers in fancy packaging.wait for the restoration of A Better Tomorrow which surely must be on the way soon.

Good news... if true.

Interesting... who owns Cine Asia now? I can like their FB page.
I presume by "new titles" that means new films and not older ones that havent necessarily been on BD before? Good news either way.

Thanks

Sounds like a rerelease of the catalogue from that link. Good news if anyone didnt get the HKLs that went OOP

Posted: **30 Apr 2015, 23:37**

We saw that link back in December. Re-releases of selected titles only. No new news.

Eureka have hinted at A Touch of Zen coming to BD (possibly their Masters of Cinema line)

https://www.facebook.com/EurekaEntertai ... =1&fref=nf

A restored version of this would be interesting.

Dragon Inn finally coming from Eureka on September 28th http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=17027

Posted: **23 Jun 2015, 23:22**

Awesome news. Unlike most companies I have a good feeling that Eureka will get this right.

A Touch Of Zen restored by Carlotta in France...surely a BD is in the offing. http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=17069

Posted: **30 Jun 2015, 06:00**

Good to know. This was originally shown in Hong Kong in two parts. When the BBC screened it back in the late 90s they edited it together (as the director intended) but accidentally included the last five minutes of Part One twice. D'oh!

Posted: **30 Jun 2015, 08:09**

Touch of Zen is screening in Helsinki on 35mm quite often... every few years. But since I'm on the wrong side of the planet, I'd be happy with a solid BD. I saw the film on TV about 6-8 years ago and loved it.

Posted: **30 Jun 2015, 14:06**

I didn't think there was enough material for 170m.

King Hu has made better films.

i confess to having never seen Touch Of Zen....but would pick it up. i really like Fate Of Lee Khan...

Lee Khan is a better film IMO. Zen is in a similar style, but a lot slower. Have you seen Raining in the Mountain? That's arguably Hu's best.
