Great review George, i own the blu ray copy which has 2 blu rays but sadly Eureka have once again released one jewel case with a god awful reversible cover for China O Brien 2.
Picture & sound quality however top notch.
Had a great reply from Cynthia Rothrock on her you tube channel when i messaged her saying how her movies helped me through my breakdown during my adolescence, i couldn't believe it when she replied.
Yeah it's such a pity that reverse cover was there. Hope you enjoyed yours! Thanks for watching :)
Thank you for this. I have this on order so I can finally upgrade from my DVDs. The VS release has a much better cover. I checked the details on both releases to see what the difference was with the special features. It's interesting to see that there are a few on this release that VS doesn't have, and vice versa.
I'm excited to get the VS release to compare :) Thanks for watching!!
This a must, my childhood right there!! Out of interest was there much of a difference between the 4k and the standard Blu Ray?
Not massively to be honest. Thanks for watching!!
i wish they had done 2 disc with individial cases so they could do 2 lots of reversible covers
I know right :) Thanks for watching!
Completely agree release each film individually.
Nice video. I like the films despite their flaws and their very low budgets. Is the widescreen ratio the correct ratio? The german dvd was also 16:9 and seemed cropped.
Yes, I do believe this is presented in the correct ratio :) Thanks for watching!
Awesome, I got this on pre-order. The DVD copy I have for both films is so bad!
This is a fantastic upgrade! Enjoy :)
Sorry, but they've annoyed the out of me with this release. I hate having to choose between which cover to use. Would it have been so hard for them to give us 2 cases?
Yeah I do prefer single releases for the artwork, but hey?! I'll be putting the Vinegar Syndrome release up against it soon :)
@@invincibleasiaofficial Look forward to it, and seeing how the VS release compares.
The acting! How did these films not get Oscars!
lol I know right! Good times :)
Thanks for the video! I gotta say, I think Battle Creek Brawl absolutely worked - it’s just totally different than Jackie’s HK stuff. I readily admit that I have a nostalgic affection for it because it’s the first Jackie film I ever saw, but I do think it holds up quite well and I love it just as much as I always did. Great cast, nice period setting (if not always totally authentic looking), memorable whistleable music score, just a charming chunk of fun. I’ll never understand the negativity on it from Jackie fans. I’ve never seen the China O’Brien films, but now I’m curious about them, as I do love Cindy’s HK stuff of course (who doesn’t?) but would like to see a different flavor of hers, warts and all. From the trailers they look like entertaining American action cheese in the late ‘80s/early ‘90s mold, and I have a big soft spot for that stuff; I think I might hafta pick up this set!
I did reply to this, so it might pop up later lol - Don't get me wrong, I did love Battle Creek Brawl for decades but I feel it hasn't aged well, or perhaps I'm just tired of it :) A big part of me always sighs when watching it though as I can't help but think what could have been had Clouse let Jackie do what he does. Still, if you loved it then you'll enjoy these for sure. Thanks for watching :)
@WaverBoy, what you said about Battle Creek Brawl was perfect. Couldn't have said it better myself. 👏
Good video. Subscribed.
Thanks, appreciate it :)
I kept mentioning that 30 minute making of documentary to Eureka. They never replied. Seems it is going to be included in the VS release. You are right about it feeling like tv show / movie. Don’t think it helped the films wheee shot back to back. Not sure we need China O’Brien in 4K. Might pick up the Blu-ray up at some point. The UK video artwork for both films was awful. Keith Cooke should have been a massive star. Heard he turned down a contract from GH. Need to pick me ‘When Taekwondo Strikes’ soon for the movie itself and the best of martial arts movies. Still have the laserdisc of that one.
I was wondering why they didn't put it there. Hopefully VS does have it yes! The Blu-ray is good enough mind you, and yes, Cooke should have been a much bigger star. The WTS Blu-ray is well worth picking up and the doco looks amazing on it :)
I was thinking of the 4k version but that means you will see the stunt guys in their wigs and even more in 4k.
So i might do the Blu ray version
And you definitely do see the wigs lol Enjoy!
@@invincibleasiaofficial I just got it on 4k in the end. The VHS days you didn’t notice these Asian guys in wigs
Another great one dude thx
No problem, thanks for watching!
Not the best of her films but I just love Cynthia. How hell did Cook not become a bigger star?
I know right! He should have went to HK when he was offered the chance. Could have got some amazing stuff :)
I’m curious about the VS release.
Did you ever check out THE GUYVER? Unearthed films 🎥 is releasing it (UHD)
Same director of the film 🎞️ DRIVE (mark dacascos)
Action is just like HK CINEMA 🎦 action like DRIVE.
I'm just waiting on the VS release myself. I have the Arrow Blu-ray release of The Guyver and will in interviewing Steve Wang soon for the channel. I love his movies and Drive is amazing! Got a great Blu-ray release from 88 Films, so check it out if you can :)
@@invincibleasiaofficial excellent!
Your channel is an education 🙏👏
Thank you, I appreciate it :)
I grabbed the standard version. Sure the pace is questionable, but it just goes to show what a poorly thought out 4:3 crop can do to murder a film. It feels much less cheap and stiff with the full image.
I agree, this is the best I've seen it (obviously) and enjoyed it much more seeing what was lost on the video :) Thanks for watching!
love this movies
They do take me back. This was a great upgrade!
Jibber jabber 😂 yeah never thought these films were not that great to be honest.
:) Thanks for watching!!
So what you're saying is that they're great 👍 😂
TERRIBLE FILMS.
One tight edit of both would make a great flick though :) Thanks for watching!
@@invincibleasiaofficial I doubt it.. Lousy fights too.
Better than modern crap with fast edits 🤢🤮
@@StevenDavies-el8ss Not really, this is low-tier stuff.
