It could be one of the old commentaries for all we know sadly. He could barley speak english in them old ones, awful things.

I hope the commentary is new since Woo's English has massively improved since he did Criterion's in the mid 90's.

It won't be the Criterion commentary as isn't that a solo effort? But like I said it could be the Fox Lorbor/Winstar commentary. Personally I cannot see it. AFAIK DD/HKL have never bought a commentary before.

He he well you guys already know I'm a bit demented. That was even who I sourced my information from

Hey everybody, I just got confirmation that the commentary for DD's fourthcoming The Killer DVD will not feature John Woo and Terence Chang but rather DD regular Bey Logan.

some screen caps from the new DD release of Dragon Squad

Where's the gratuitous Maggie shot?

Is this any good? It looks decent.

Thanks. That's a bit of a shame, not surprising though.

haven't watched it yet,a blind buy for me.

hey,

it's funny with the director Daniel Lee who has talent and even style when making dramas (Till Death Do Us Part, Moonlight Express) but often kills his action flicks with an MTV style. Have no real desire to see if this one falls under the category "stupid, therefore watchable".

anything with Sammo in is worth at least one watch 8)

"Dragon Squad" definitely had the potential to be a very good movie. What irritated me however is that instead of exploring one or two main characters they explore every a little. That's why the character development is not fully satisfying in my opinion. Cinematography and editing during the action scenes gave me a headache when I watched it at the theatre.

Good music, though.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 27 Sep 2007, 01:01

That's a shame. Those captures are strange, the fourth looks good but the last two look awful.

Dragon Squad is a very run of the mill actioner.

RickyTheDragonSteamboat · Post by **RickyTheDragonSteamboat** » 29 Sep 2007, 22:06

The back of the box says the the movie is presented in 'scope' format while these screens are clearly not. I think DD should start putting the exact aspect ratio on their dvd boxes like Sony does.

Killer Meteor · Post by **Killer Meteor** » 30 Sep 2007, 00:00

HKL used to just put 16:9 on the back. Ironically, one of the first times they listed the ratio as 2.35:1 was for Police Story 2, which was anything but 2.35:1

I heard. What a shame that was.

Cool to see a choice of covers. Isn't this supposed to suck?

RickyTheDragonSteamboat · Post by **RickyTheDragonSteamboat** » 24 Oct 2007, 01:31

A lot of people I know, especially chicks, like it. But I thought it was all around lacking. Not really a good movie.

Shingster · Post by **Shingster** » 24 Oct 2007, 03:23

Robin-B-Hood is nothing special, but it is a genuinely enjoyable film - which makes it easily JC's best HK film since Gorgeous. (Which isn't saying much, granted).

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 24 Oct 2007, 08:33

Robin-B-Hood? Huh?
That even ruins the "B-B" (baby) joke.

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 24 Oct 2007, 09:18

"Robin-B-Hood" was the working title.

Film was ok.
