Sammo has a name sure, but he's only a supporting character in this film.
He's even killed off before the finale. It would be tough (and somewhat deceitful) to sell Hap Ki Do on his name. I'm not saying it won't ever happen... just that it's not a priority.

They sold Winners and Sinners on Jackie's name when all he did was a cameo. :?

It's not that much of a problem anymore but on the early HKL discs, the bit-rate for the actual feature is very low

Play have some tentative "Fist of Fury: PE" cover art up on their site. I quite like it :)

http://www.play.com/play247.asp?page=ti ... pa=stgcs10

As for language Play only say Cantonese, that could change though.

"My Wife Is A Gangster" (jeez they were supposed to release this ages ago) art and specs also up.

Jesus H. Do HKL only have ONE image of Bruce Lee from that film??? Yawn!! :roll:

It's far to early to talk about confirmed specs as the disc doesn't come out for another 6 months. I doubt even HKL know what they're doing!?!

Not sure what to make of Iceman cometh, neer seen it and that trailer isnt the best. I was glad it changed from the past soon as it looked very poor action, I hate people flying :roll: but it sort of looks like Highlander on speed, will pick it up when its cheaper :) as no way I will pay even close to full price.

Ha ha I know what you mean :D Its' quite a good picture though. :wink:
As for specs, I dont think Play have listed all the features there - but as you say its too early to talk about the important stuff like language etc. Bey is doing a new commentary AFAIK.

It's quite an offbeat film... I like it, but it's not a classic really. You kinda need to see it yourself to decide as I don't think it fits any template. I wouldn't judge any film by the HKL trailer.

Yep Bey has confirmed he'll be doing a new commentary (solo). The mods at HKL have also confirmed HKL are working on High Res. trailers (at last).

Lastly I beg to differ that HKL cover art sucks. fingers crossed it will change (and easily could).

p.s - LOL FOF: PE has already slipped 3 days from the 6th to the 9th of June :D

I think Romero means it's not very good quality. Which I agree on.

OK fair enough. I havent seen it. I don't think I'll buy this, as I didnt care for Zu Warriors. May rent it though.

Well the actual trailer was fine, as you can get a taste, but they dont exactly do much as its not hard to make a superb trailer, even from a bad film :)

But the people flying did make me :roll: as I hate people flying unrealistically in films (not all the time, but mostly).

Erm... isn't The Iceman Cometh a fantasy film? Therefore it is perfectly feasible that characters can fly...

Just let your imagination run wild! :)

Anyway it's well-known in popular Chinese mythology that martial arts masters of yesteryear were able to fly thanks to their light-body skills and their magic swords.

Just try to pretend that you don't see the wires. :D

I dont mind flying if it looks possable and good quality, if they use good wire work with real looking gravity and physics. Its when they just jump about like muppets I hate, sadly few films wirework antics look good.

Most of the film is set in modern times. The fantasy stuff is kept to a minimum in an urban millieu. It's as if the added scenes from the International cut of Zu had been expanded upon. Sort of...? :wink:

The English voice acting in the international cut of Zu didnt help any - yuk!

From latest HKL newsletter:-
HKL wrote:Speed Cameras
The HKL production crew were in Hong Kong recently to record the interviews with director Andrew Lau and members of his hot young cast for our forthcoming 2-Disc Platinum Edition of the runaway Asian box-office smash-hit, Initial D.

We also attended the star-studded Premiere and press conference on June 26th: footage of which will also appear on our DVD. The guys clearly had a blast making this exciting real-life adaptation of the Japanese Manga sensation, and, judging from the phenomenal box-office performance, we wouldn’t be surprised if a sequel is already on the cards!
