The official Tartan Asian Films thread!

It's great news.

If they release their films in good quality, we don't want another EiV on our hands

Just because they're on about releasing 2,000 Asian films doesn't mean they're going to be any good yet

The fact they've been saved is good enough reason to celebrate IMO. We can worry about quality later, most Tartan DVDs are perfectly good anyway.

Unless you're the sort who goes looking for problems of course.

I'm just happy that Tartan's vast library of titles is intact.

Tell that to Media Asia... lol

It looks like they could be back in business:

Palisades Tartan's Vengeance Trilogy Blu-ray box set review:

http://www.dvdactive.com/reviews/dvd/ve ... ilogy.html

In short: Mr Vengeance is an improvement, Oldboy is messed up (stick with your original blur-ray) and Lady Vengeance now contains both versions, but whether the Face to Black version looks better/worse/the same as the single disc blu-ray I cannot make out. Any ideas on this one guys, for fans of the Face to Black version, which is best?

It looks like each film gets 1 blu-ray and Lady Vengeance gets an additional DVD, presumabely because they couldn't fit the extras on the blu-ray.

Why didn't Palisades Tartan make this a 5 disc box set and just include the Oldboy extras on a separate disc? Like they did for the original "USA" Oldboy release. Way to go for dropping the DTS-HD MA on Oldboy too.

Mr Vengeance is thankfully already available separately but Lady Vengeance whilst also being available separately, that one only includes the Face to Black version. I hope this new Lady Vengeance Blu-ray gets released separately, we can then entirely ignore Oldboy.
