Bullets 'n' Babes

I hope they don't mess it up and also hope it's the director's cut, can't trust Optimum.

Mmmmm Optimum.....

I bet it's the theatrical cut with that annoying integrated branching crap. I know the HK DVD is but cannot remember if the Optimum UK DVD is too. I've still not seen my HK DVD.

It's a Blu-ray Brad, if they add both prints they will be independantly selectable.

Looks like Police Story and Once Upon A Time in China will be coming to Blu-ray Disc in June as well! :headbang:

The Blu-ray Disc deal will also include Jackie Chan’s “Police Story” parts one through three, and Tsui Hark’s Jet Li starrer “Once Upon a Time in China” parts one through three. The titles are all slated for June release.

Fantastic. Thanks Monkey.

And? They could add both prints just as easily on DVD as they could BD, presuming they use 2 discs or don't care about quality. My point, the fact it's BD is no guarantee of anything!

Yeah but if it's branching then it'll be seamless since it's Blu-ray, so what's the problem? It's not going to be like the HK DVD where you have to press Enter whenever the football symbol comes up

How do you know for sure? I'm sure you're right but just because it's BD that doesn't mean it "has" to be seamless. DVD is just as capable as seamless branching as BD is, it doesn't mean we've been given integrated branching at times.

As it stands I suspect we'll be getting the theatrical or director's cut, not both.

Seriously who cares haha

Wait till its out, get the facts, then decide

Err, no it isn't! Seamless branching on DVD was always a pain in the arse to produce and implement, and had compatability problems on DVD, on Blu-ray it is MUCH better done.

Really? I've not read of DVD compatibility problems for years. I still say they're more likely to give us multiple discs than branching though.

Great, thanks. There are also many other fantastic films coming too. For me:

Nikita
Leon - If it's much better than the German BD I already own
The Elephant Man

I already own La Haine and The Pianist on HD-DVD.

I watched the Nikita BD tonight (US Sony) and it was awesome, the picture quality was excellent!

Fantastic. I've been thinking about getting it. I doubt the UK offering will have much in the way of extras. It's annoying the USA BD is barebones though, when the DVD isn't. Sony really should've got hold of MGM's extras.

Where did you get it from? Cheap I hope.

I got it from MovieTyme for £13.99 because I had a £1 voucher.

Thanks. A bit pricey for a catalogue title. I can wait.

Amazon have Shaolin Soccer up with a 112 minute running time

I've put in a request for the BD @DVDTimes, so hopefully we'll get a check disc nice and early.

Nice 8)

Joy Sales will release The Shinjuku Incident starring Jackie Chan on July 9, 2009.

Miramax will release Hero, Legend of Drunken Master, Zatoichi and Iron Monkey on BD in September!

I'm interested in Iron Monkey, but I already own the UK BD of Zatoichi. Is 'Legend of Drunken Master' Drunken Master II? I presume it'll be the cut version.

Are those your websites in your signature? I only discovered them about a week ago and think they're excellent!

According to the cover art on the box it should be Drunken Master 2: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111512/
I'm gonna wait for reviews before I order these titles, you just can't trust Miramax with stuff like this

Yes, they're both my sites. Glad you like them
