88 Films haven't crossed that line yet as they don't go too long without a release I'm interested in.

However they do seem to be focusing a bit too much on the JCVD and Jackie Chan range for my liking.

It's their business however, they have to put out product that customers will buy, it's not like they aren't releasing other titles in multiple other genres either.

What is with all these £24.99 releases all of a sudden especially on titles like Killing Birds, Violent Professionals and these Category III titles?

Speaking of which, these Category III titles so far seem to be the sexual ones instead of the really violent ones (Granted I'm not an expert on this) but do we see the violent ones soon?

With Violent Professionals getting released, will Big Racket be up soon?

It's good yeah. There's two of these Lenzi films with the same title the other one being known as Orgasmo. Both very similar who done it types or Giallo. If that's your thing you might like it.
