I got to check out some GREAT new and old Kung Fu and Martial Arts Releases that are pretty great! 5 films that you might want to watch, buy and celebrate! Many of these are NEW or Upcoming Releases like Mortal Kombat Kollection with one of these an older release. See what I thought of each of them as I Review, Unbox and Talk about the Extras!
In this video, I review two of John Woo's action classics: The Killer (1989) and Hard Boiled (1992). Starring Chow Yun-fat and directed by John Woo, these films helped define the "heroic bloodshed" genre and influenced countless action movies that followed. I'll share my thoughts on both movies, discuss why they've become such influential classics, trivia and behind-the-scenes facts. Then unbox and compare the new 4K UHD releases from Via Vision Entertainment (Imprint Asia) with the recent Shout! Studios releases to see how they stack up in terms of packaging, presentation, and overall value for collectors.

Return to the mean streets of the 1980s for a pair of ghetto real crime dramas that redefined Hong Kong cop movies. Based on real events in the then Crown Colony, the ‘Long Arm of the Law’ films depict the threat posed by former Mainland Chinese soldiers crossing the border to stage hyper-violent crimes in broad daylight. These films are a stunning blend of cinema verité with bone-crunching Hong Kong stunt sequences. ‘Long Arm of the Law 1 & 2’ left local audiences shell-shocked when first released, and still retains its raw impact today. Out Dec 12th! 2023!
