Looks to be so. Second Run (UK) is also releasing an all-region blu-ray of it this year. It will be interesting to compare it with the Criterion.Oh my god, is Diamonds of the Night finally getting an R1 release? Such a beautiful film.
does 1 and 2 have Michelle Yeoh launching a motorcycle off a ramp onto a moving trainPolice Story 3 is fun, but 1 and 2 are quite a bit better imo, at least from an action standpoint.

no. No, they don't, fancy clown.
Speaking of Jackie Chan...
I'm loving all these Jackie releases. Who woulda thought we'd get a pristine remaster of goddamn City Hunter on blu-ray lmao. Really Hong Kong cinema in general is getting some nice attention recently. The new Once Upon a Time in China box set from Eureka is fantastic as well.
I'd love to see a competent label have a go at John Woo's pre-Hollywood stuff next. A Better Tomorrow 1 and 2, Hard Boiled, The Killer, etc. Lots of potential there.
I need brand new 2K masters (or even 4K) on blu-ray (yeah I'm greedy).Criterion did Hard Boiled and The Killer, they don't look bad at all. DVDs, but hey.
How many bullets would you use
Its pretty good but the two other ones are bad. So very very bad.
For region B / region free, this Iron Man and Tetsuo II combo release has excellent picture quality: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tetsuo-Iro...id=1547758283&sr=8-2&keywords=tetsuo+iron+man
I watched the first a while back and I liked it, but yeah, incredibly fucked up. Haven't gotten around to Tetsuo II.
Shit, I'm like weeks late to this, meant to respond back when you posted this lol my bad.I never got to watch the second one, but even back then it seemed like it wasn't well received. Bullet Ballet was grim too, but I prefer the mania of Tetsuo. Some of his other work looks interesting, and I hope to be able to watch it some day.
What is a good Region Free BRD player you recommend Fjordson ?
Likely to be an upcoming Criterion release:
Of course, go see it on the big screen, if you can. The most epic of all epic films.

I'm always a little nervous recommending this sort of thing to people just because there's a lot of weird little problems that can pop up with these region free players (at least from what I see on the blu-ray.com forums lol) so I can only speak to my experience. But this player has been perfect for me since November:

The base player is $99 and the region-free option is another $40, so $139 altogether. I was just looking for simple blu-ray playback, so it's barebones, but I've watched a bunch of non-region A discs without a hitch. I love it.
FILM LINC is showing the new restoration in February. Here is a trailer:
Well, you're not going to experience anything like the full richness of Tolstoy without actually reading Tolstoy. That said, you probably need no more than a basic schoolbook-level familiarity with the political atmosphere of the times to be able to follow along.Bizarre question incoming... how much of the source or the history does someone have to be aware of to watch this film and be able to comprehend it?
Yeah, I honestly have zero complaints. Even the remote it comes with is pretty decent.Awesome thank you so much for the breakdown. I'll be ordering this one or possibly one of the UHD versions of off this site.

I should mention about UHD discs (though you might already know this) that those are always region free, so if you already have a 4K player you're good to go.

That's right, sorry I worded it badly. Just meant that one didn't need to get a special player for 4K discs specifically since they're all region-free.I thought 4k players are only region free for 4k discs, which are always regionless, but the blu-ray and dvd features are still region locked.
