Where did you manage to get Dragons Forever from for £3.20? You certainly did well there!

i got it in blockbuster, when we buy in dvds we only give 20p and sell them for £4.00 so whith my 20% staff discount it came to £3.20. there's also a second hand record and dvd store around the corner that i get them. he does 3 for 10.00 which is where i picked up most of my HKL discs.

Great news.

Continuing our passionate commitment to deliver the very best in Asian action-cinema through our pioneering Cine Asia brand, Showbox Media Group is proud to announce the re-birth of the celebrated Hong Kong Legends action-cinema label. Under the new releasing banner, 'CINE ASIA presents HKL', Showbox is set to bring the label back to life, and will re-release the cream of Entertainment One's Asian film catalogue, including Jet Li's Once upon a time in China series, Jackie Chan's Police Story 1&2 and Donnie Yen's world-famous, Iron Monkey.

Just out of interest, where was this news posted. I'm well up for a re birth as long as Bey Logan is involved.

It certainly is. The rebirth of a fine brand is very good news indeed. The only downside, as far as I can see it, is if they decide to use the original shoddy HKL transfers of films like Police Story and Police Story 2.

The news is on the Cine-Asia website. The 1st re-releases are of the Bruce Lee 2-disc special editions.

In fact, it's more than interesting news. It's bloody brilliant news. Hopefully I'll be able to pick up some titles I'm still missing without having to pay the prices on ebay!

Talking of HKL, here's a better look at the Limited Edition Sleeve of the Game Of Death dvd I picked up the other day.

Nice Stephen. Never seen that cover before. Was it released to coincide with the release of Kill Bill?

[Stephen@Cult Labs]

I'm not sure. I vaguely recall it being released but I don't know why. I had forgotten about it until I saw it on ebay.
