icheckmovies search engine is rubbish.trying to add Big Game to my watched list for 2015,it doesn't come up in the search box yet if i google icheckmovies Big Game it comes up,i see no way of adding it to my list though.

For foreign films you have to grab the IMDB main title name in the foreign language.

However you hit upon one of the big issues with their search engine. Anything that is too generic in a title comes up with way too many search results. Normally a search engine should allow the use of + or "" to help narrow results. It doesn't. Now their "Order by:" would help if you have an upgraded account (checks or year of release would make it easier to find). I don't so it doesn't.

The work around is this: take a look at the URL for the IMDB title: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2088003/combined

copy tt2088003 and put that in the icheckmovies search engine. You now get the Big Game movie.

tried that method for Lackey & The Lady Tiger. it's not finding it

It's dubtitled, and, IIRC, sound's slightly out of sync.

I'd get cancelling that Jackie double feature, it's using the incomplete cantonese audio on DM. Piss poor by TT. As for the Eastwood, i want it but i'll hang on to see what Kino have done with it before buying.

[grim_tales]

Thanks for the warning about DM, I didnt know that
Do I have to contact them to cancel an order? There doesnt seem to be an option.

Don't know, i've only ever ordered TT discs from Screen Archives and never had cause to cancel.Probably best mailing them,with the news about the audio out i suspect they'll get a few. Of course you could keep your order in and buy it just for SITES and pick up the UK Eureka DM.

[grim_tales]

Thanks I popped them an email so I'll see what they say.

Picking up the Eureka DM seems a good idea.
