This was peak martial arts at this time for action movies, that was a great time!
The transfers from 88 films on these movies are outstanding. I felt like I was watching these movies for the first time even though I’ve seen them all before (the two Michelle Yeoh ones in a theater too) and had them all on dvd from early 2000s.
And yet blu ray website gave a very poor score to the video quality for all of them
Snagged it with your link. Thanks for turning me on to this set. Been getting back into watching the classic Hong Kong action flicks and this is just what I needed.
Thanks for the video, looks like a great set!
Awesome review! I just purchased it through your affiliate link. Keep up the great content!
Waiting for my copy to arrive, it is indeed a great set! Price and content, you cant go wrong with this :)
Blind bought this set myself after really enjoying the Police Story series. Looking forward to getting around to this.
Just bought from Best Buy, great price and beautiful box. Blind buy, but it's Michelle Yeoh in two of them........Can't wait!!!
In the UK, the blu rays were released by Eureka.
Nice! I will probably pick this up.
Heath, thanks so much for showing this set. I had no idea the films had different names. I had been trying to find Yes, Madam and did not know it was in this set. I have been diving into the Shawscope sets and the 88 Films Shaws and just branched out to Police Story III - Supercop and was on the look out for more Michelle Yeoh and Jackie Chan films.
Such a killer release. Great movies and spectacular art.
I had the privilege of seeinng Yes, Madam paired with Martial Law and with an introduction/Q&A with Cynthia Rothrock, unfortunately it was in Cantonese so i had no idea what was happening but i don't think that distracted too much from the experience
My copy should arrive today so i'm curious what the new English dub is like, i am happy that 88 Films is going that extra mile on that
And yeah Eureka has individual releases for all four movies inn the UK
Thanks Heath! God bless and stay safe!
I'd like to say that I am partially responsible for this getting a release because it was announced literally two days after I bought a bootleg of royal warriors on blu ray.
What i'm trying to say is, you're welcome, everybody! 😂
Thank you for your sacrifice! (really, though, isn't it crazy how that happens?)
@Cereal At Midnight I said to a friend of mine , " Watch me provoke a release of these on blue ray in like a box set or something by buying this."
They announced it less than ten days later.
I went with the UK Eureka individual releases (which are also great) but this US 88 box set does look very very nice indeed. Not nice enough for me to double dip though lol. I'm more than happy with my Eureka editions and I'm guessing the transfers are most likely from the same source.
I pre ordered mine a month ago and from Amazon and it is estimated delivery June 24th! Did you get yours through Amazon and how long did it take to receive your copy?
It's in stock at Amazon right now. I've had this happen to me as well with pre-orders and my suspicion is that the UPC assigned to the pre-order changes at some point before the final release and our orders with the canceled UPC go into limbo. I usually cancel and re-order. FWIW!
My copy was sent directly from the distributor for me to review. Sorry to hear Amazon dropped the ball on your preorder!
@@mbeachtantrum Thanks I appreciate the tip.
While I definitely AM appreciating the "Golden Age", I'm greedily hoping for a "Platinum Age" so someone will provide a box set of Truck Rascals 1-10 with English subtitles 😂
I believe it could happen! Those are with Toei, I think, and Toei has been licensing more and more titles. Who else would buy a ten-movie box set about Japanese truckers getting into comedic misadventures?
wonder why they didnt include further episodes of the series
Do you guys know if there is version for region B to find?
Will this play in my UK 🇬🇧 Xbox Series X?
YES YES YES YES!!!!!
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Are these best watched these with English dub or original Cantonese?
Original Cantonese.
Yes, Madam is definitely my least favorite of this franchise. The final fight is insane though.
I had a hard time investing in the final fight since one of the guys was wearing fake eyebrows, a fake mustache, and playing the whole thing as a joke! But it's definitely bonkers.
Yes, Madam is a mixed bag but those last twenty minutes are amazing.
Region a or free?
region A/B
I hate that you don't like the change in tones. The movie is all about giving an entertaining experience. The comedy and action blend is what HK 80s cinema is all about
The Hong Kong action comedy might be the most schizophrenic genre ever.
Region A
