"A topnotch release from 88 Films that can stand on it's own, but I would've liked to have had the excellent documentary "Bonded by Blood" ported over from the US double bill Blu-ray (with hell of the Living Dead AKA Zombie Creeping Flesh). A lovely package none the less with decent extras and ancillary bits and bobs to make it collectable.

Not to be missed by UK fans and completists who love Italian genre cinema; a real party movie and an essential purchase."

JANUARY TITLE ANNOUNCEMENT

"Battle Creek Brawl (28th Jan)

Jackie Chan arrived on American soil with hopes of becoming a superstar in the West and his first ever Hollywood project as a leading man certainly provided him with a notable director in Robert Clouse, the legendary director who took Bruce Lee to the next level with ENTER THE DRAGON (1973). Whilst BATTLE CREEK BRAWL (1980) was not quite as epoch defining, this is still prime Jackie - as our man successfully takes on the mafia and romances the gorgeous Playboy cover girl Kristine DeBell. A classic bout of chopsocky on Anglicised soil, BATTLE CREEK BRAWL is ready to punch its way into your collection in this gobsmacking 4k HD restoration!"

Another Jackie Chan film is released on the same day, and both can be ordered for under £25 direct from 88 Films.

To Kill with Intrigue

The year was 1977 and kung-fu fighting was still blasting out of discotheques, the spectre of Bruce Lee continued to haunt Hong Kong cinema and a young Jackie Chan was fast on his way to superstardom. TO KILL WITH INTRIGUE is undoubtedly one of the martial arts legend's finest moments - with confident direction from the legendary Lo Wei, who had given Bruce Lee his break with THE BIG BOSS in 1971! Shot in South Korea, when the country was still a curious entity to the West and under tyrannical one-party rule, TO KILL WITH INTRIGUE highlights a fast-paced tale of doomed romance and revenge that gives Chan's token stunts and chopsocky mayhem plenty of space to showcase themselves! Finally available to UK viewers, in a new 2k scan, one of Chan's most underrated motion pictures is ready to fight its way into your collection of 88 Asia gems!

"Coming in 2019...."

General consensus seems to be that it is '11 Days, 11 Nights'

Pity Battle Creek does not come with that Alice In Wonderland film the lead actress was in.... heheheheh.....

I believe that I have that film on DVD from a US DVD label that isn't in existence now, but I've never watched it.

88Films have just updated their cover picture on FB

People are suggesting something with Kevin Bacon, 'Canadian Bacon', a new version of 'Pigs', 'The Greasy Strangler' and 'Razorback'!

Well there's 6 pieces of bacon so I'm guessing it does have something to do with him.

Tremors, National Lampoon's Animal House or Stir of Echoes would be great.

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

Razorback please!
