It's delayed because their doing a brand new scan after listening to peoples concerns about the existing Blu releases.

"'Paranoia' blu-ray now in stock
Our first release of 2020
Limited to 3000 units with a soft touch ocard
This is number 56 in The Italian Collection"

Apparently the release of 'The Eight Diagram Pole Fighter' has been brought forward to March 2nd instead of March 23rd as previously announced

"Although made when the mighty Shaw Brothers studio were stepping away from film production, Eight Diagram Pole Fighter shows they had plenty of fight left in them: indeed, it's one of the best films they ever produced.

It's based on a story from Chinese history: a heroic general is betrayed on the battlefield. He and five of his sons are killed, but two of his sons are able to escape. Haunted by what happened to their father and brothers they begin to think of revenge but they will have to tread with care. The traitor and his troops are on their tail, and he means to finish the job he started.

Tragically, co-star Alexander Fu Sheng (Heroes Shed No Tears, The Brave Archer) died in a car accident mid-way through filming. But under the careful hands of master filmmaker Lau Kar-leung (The 36th Chamber of Shaolin, Drunken Master 2), the finished film is a worthy tribute to this great star. 88 Films are proud to present the UK blu ray premiere of one of the true masterpieces of Hong Kong cinema."

I've been dying to know what they had coming up next. well I'm getting operation condor for sure since my current copy is the old eiv bare bones DVD. am glad anaconda is getting a standard release, didn't like the film but the special features interested me so now I'm able to justify picking it up.
mystery men wasn't as good as it should have been (anyone ever noticed that Ben stiller is always the weakest link in all of his comedies?)
I need to read up on the rest.

I honestly can’t remember the last time they released anything worth buying, great for those that are interested, but I’ve zero interest in anything they release these days

I still love their Italian Collection, so I’ll be picking up SEVEN BLOODSTAINED ORCHIDS and THE DEVIL’S HONEY for sure.
