Is the cover for LA CASA 4 an April Fool’s gag as well?

Had this been the Arrow thread with their dubiously shit artworks i'd have said no.

But it certainly looks like it's an April fool because 88 more often than not have great artworks.

They probably all are April fools.

I *think* this is an extended version

But don't forget that 88Films release of 'Splatter University' also included the extra film 'What Really Frightens You?', which they also released as a stand-alone feature

**EDIT**
Calum on FB: "42nd St is an April Fools joke, we don't work for 88 anymore. Not sure if Untold Story is true either. I gave them the rights holder email before I left the label."

Heart of Dragon Blu-ray

[I]"Story of a cop who forsakes his dreams of sailing around the world so that he can care for his mentally disabled brother. Innocently caught up in a gangland fight, the brother is kidnapped to force the cop to turn over a police informant. Directed by Sammo Hung & Fruit Chan, Starring Jackie Chan"[/I

Pre-order available from 88Films direct - £14.99

Release date: April 20th

"World-famous for their action and derring-do, old friends Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung teamed up for a film that shows there's much more to them than brawling.

Jackie plays a good-hearted cop looking after his learning-disabled brother Danny, played by Sammo, but doesn't always succeed in keeping him out of trouble. When Danny is taken as a hostage, his brother will risk everything - his career and even his life –-to rescue him, throwing it down as only Jackie Chan can.

Made the same year as Police Story, Heart of Dragon was a change of pace for the great action artists, giving them a chance to show of their acting chops as well as their stunt skills - even if they don't ignore the latter! 88 Films are proud to present this UK Blu-ray premiere of a Hong Kong classic."
