The 88 Films Thread

"We want to thank everyone who is a regular customer on our webstore for their patience, we have recently completed a warehouse move so a lot of titles have been out of stock but i'm please to say that it is 90% completed now and therefore orders will be shipping out again as normal from this week and stock levels will return completely to normal in the next day or so.

Due to massively increased costs we've had to revise our postal costs sadly but thankfully we can now make use of the Royal Mail proof of delivery service again that we couldn't use through Technicolor.

Anyone who still wants to buy Robotrix and/or Story of Ricky through our website they will be available to order later this week, we will send an email our to the newsletter subscribers when they are available.

And finally we have been assured that for European shipments IOSS details will now be printed on the label."

"Due to crazy demand we are going to repress another 2000 Story of Ricky collectors edition, they should be back on stock in 10-14 days."

'Armour Of God' (1986) - Blu-Ray Deluxe Edition pre-order available from Amazon UK - £24:99

Release date: December 13

"Unquestionably the most popular martial arts actor of his generation, super star Jackie Chan features in this mid 80s Indiana Jones-esque romp which mixes Hollywood thrills with Hong Kong style action.

Former musician Asian Hawk (Chan) becomes embroiled in a dangerous quest to seek out the last three parts of lost treasure the Armour of God, in order to save his ex-band mate’s girlfriend from the clutches of a ruthless cult.

Though heavily inspired by Spielberg’s movie, the style and stunt sequences are all delivered with the star’s custom brand of slapstick and physical prowess. All the elements come together in a pleasing assortment of comedy, misadventure and gloriously realised action set pieces. A must for all Jackie Chan collectors. "
