That's 3 possible places to get it. I doubt it's actually OOP just yet.

So that's as much creativity HKL posesses? Jusy because the director Nam Nai Choi did both films doesn't mean it's the same excessive gorefest. On the contrary. Anyway, I care for presentation in the end but I won't toss my Universe dvd yet.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 07 Apr 2006, 10:36

I didnt say it (PK) was a gorefest

I've never seen the movie. I thought you were implying HKL's Peacock King cover resembles the Story of Ricky cover

Nope I paid £16 for SFLV: LE but Ong-bak is very average so I'm not paying £15 on what is probably more of the same

Shen · Post by **Shen** » 07 Apr 2006, 11:46

i've seen TYG but im still not gonna pay £15 for a dvd lol

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 07 Apr 2006, 15:43

I never pay more than a tenner for an average DVD.

Even 2-disc sets.

It would have to be something extra special.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 07 Apr 2006, 18:10

Me too but some you've got no choice:

Criterions
The odd worthwhile Korean DVD
Box sets

For example.

Criterions = Cult

Realy never paid more than about 6 pound for any PA or HKL titles in years now, they go down in price so quick you would be sily to pay for them on release (or just eager).

Didn't mean to have a go at you. Was more implying earlier that it resembles another japan horror film akin to Ringu and even though it's a co-production with Japan, it just doesn't reflect the film well. But again, presentation please!

how much did you pay for that german resident evil LE a while back ?

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 08 Apr 2006, 07:25

Ken,
I think the cover kinda looks like the art for Ju-On: The Grudge as well (one of those movies anyway)

hey,

She Shoots Straight dvd info added to this review:

Comparison pics in the dvd info section. The screengrabs in the actual review body are from the Universe disc. Go nuts...

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 10 Apr 2006, 13:35

The HKL image is superior, but WTF about the cropping!?!

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 10 Apr 2006, 21:58

It's also a lot darker, though.

LOL! So many "From the [insert job title] of [insert movie title]."

They left out "by the same best boy who once worked with Jackie Channnnn".

It's as I always think it may not be ideal but it's the best so I can live with it.

I wish that people would just get over stuff like this. It's a niche title and they need every tactic they can use to lure in the mainstream buyer. The more people buying the DVD, the better it is for us fans of something which is (sadly) considered in a niche market.

Pfft, we can live with barebones discs. The availability of English-friendly releases with decent AV is all that really matters in the end.

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 11 Apr 2006, 15:03

Yeah, we can live with barebone discs, but not if they are still being sold at the same price as before.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 11 Apr 2006, 18:00

Of course they will be but it's not like we have any choice and besides it takes no time at all for them to go down in price.

Eva is right most of these HKL titles the competition is a mess.
