    This was so interesting. I'm very new to the genre, making the most of all the great boutique releases in the past few years here in the UK. Was on the fence about these ones but will be picking up soon. When I hear about the lengths people had to go to pick up copies in the 90s, realise I'm very lucky!

    I like the idea of including the graphic novel in theory but it seems like an awfully small format size to read a comic in. Also, the grade for the 4K is really something else. It's reivionist but goddamnit who cares, it looks so much nicer.

    I don’t own the film in my collection but of all of Na Hong-Jin films I saw this is probably the best work he has ever directed. Ha Jung-Woo and Kim Yoon-Seok were excellent together in it. They and director Na Hong-Jin had worked together in their previous film Chaser which was a film about a serial killer (don’t know if that was based on true story or not). Hopefully one day Second Sight Films should do these great but brutal films on 4K at some point.

    I went to a screening of Demon of the Lute, earlier in the month. I'd never heard of the film before. It was a ton of fun. I found a copy of it for sale on Ebay, coming out of China. I just got it, and it seems nice. I assume it is a bootleg release. The main feature is Chinese language, but has English sub-titles. It has bonus features on it, which shows a Spectrum Films logo at the start. That is what led me here. Thinking someone in China got the Spectrum Films release and added English subtitles to it, and burned it to a disc. The bonus features only have Chinese(I assume) sub-titles. Anyway, I'd buy a legit English release in a second. Demon of the Lute is so much fun!!

    I actually missed out this beautiful Radiance release of one of Mario Bava’s strangest films I have ever seen, despite being a filmmaker that was known for colourful gothic horror and gialli such as Blood and Black Lace. He also did his somewhat final but slightly incomplete work in his career as a director, which was an excellent Rabid Dogs, filmed at the time when Italian crime films such as High Crime and Violent Naples gained huge popularity in Italy. I bet you’ve seen some of the so-called “poliziotteschi” films before. They were like Hong Kong “heroic bloodshed” films but without martial arts and some over-the-top John Woo flavour to them. Maurizio Merli was Iike the Italian equivalent of Danny Lee who frequently played tough cop roles. Speaking of the unboxing video of Invasion of the Body Snatchers 4K set from Arrow, I’m saddened to hear that Canadian acting legend Donald Sutherland has passed away since two days.

Can’t wait to put my hands on this awesome set after it arrives. I do hope one day that we will be getting some Mario Bava films like Black Sabbath and Black Sunday on 4K at some point. Arrow has released Blood and Black Lace on 4K before (with correct aspect ratio unlike the older Arrow blu-ray).

    I have a copy of The Killer and Hard Boiled on DVD from a company called Dragon Dynasty. I believe you can still find them on ebay and amazon.

    Thanks for interviewing him, he doesn't get a lot of credit. His action input in his movies are amazing. I would say he definitely is easily one of the best action choreographers for today. His work in Rurouni Kenshin movie series is amazing!!!

      Thanks for watching the review! Kenji is absolutely incredible, since we shot this interview Twilight of the Warriors - Walled In has been released and for me showcases some of the best work he's been able to do thus far in his career! Extremely excited to see his next directorial work in Furious, which he's currently shooting in Thailand now. He's a master.
