I'm not quite sure if this is sarcasm or not. I don't buy much from Eureka, certainly none of their hong kong phooey nonsense, too bloody pricey these days.

Arrow showing the way on how to milk their customers. Eureka releasing something stand alone to complete a set meaning customers not having to fork out for the same films again would not be the Arrow way.

Ah ok. I wondered if I'd missed Eureka doing the same thing along the line.

The colour grading of the first two films was pretty fugly in the previous box set, so if that hasn't been corrected for this release I'll just get Supercop.

Full details:

'The Police Story Trilogy' (1985 - 1992) - Limited Edition Box Set 4K Ultra HD (Blu-ray) pre-order available at Eureka direct - £60.99

Release date: September 26

"The most action packed trilogy of all time comes to Ultra HD Blu-ray for the first time ever! Featuring some of the most dangerous stunts ever performed on camera, these three films represent the pinnacle of Jackie Chan’s unique style of Hong Kong action filmmaking. A dazzling blend of gritty action cop drama, impeccably choreographed martial-arts sequences, and bone-crunching stuntwork – this series of films revitalised the Hong Kong action genre and established Jackie Chan as a worldwide superstar.

Police Story (dir. Jackie Chan, 1985) – considered by Jackie Chan himself to be his best film in terms of pure action, Police Story stars Chan as “super cop” Chan Ka-Kui, who goes up against a notorious crime lord in a series of escalating set-pieces that resulted in many of Jackie’s stunt team being hospitalised. Police Story 2 (dir. Jackie Chan, 1988) – Demoted to traffic cop after the events of the first film, Chan Ka-Kui is reinstated to the detective unit when a deadly gang of explosive experts blow up a building and threaten to blow up more if their demands are not met. Featuring yet more bravura stunt work, and even more injuries to its cast and crew, Police Story 2 is to this day considered one of the best action films ever made. Police Story 3: Supercop (dir. Stanley Tong, 1992) – Action superstar Michelle Yeoh (Everything Everywhere All at Once) joins the series as Inspector Yang Chien-Hua, who teams up with Chan Ka-Kui to take down an international drug ring. With some of the most outrageous stunt sequences ever committed to film, Police Story 3: Supercop is an action masterpiece that must truly be seen to be believed.

All three films consistently appear on lists of the best action films ever made, and Eureka Classics is proud to present them all in their worldwide Ultra HD Blu-ray debuts from stunning 4K restorations!"

'The Most Dangerous Game' (1932) - Blu-Ray pre-order available at Eureka direct - £18.99

Release date: October 24

"Based upon the ever-popular short story by Richard Connell, The Most Dangerous Game remains a hugely influential masterpiece 90 years after its release.

Big game hunter, Bob Rainsford (Joel McCrea), barely survives a shipwreck in shark infested waters and washes ashore on the private island of the sinister Count Zaroff (played with a delightful zeal by Leslie Banks). Zaroff fancies himself an accomplished hunter also —only his preferred quarry, is man!

Taking full advantage of the lavish jungle sets created for King Kong; The Most Dangerous Game was filmed at night after filming for Kong had concluded for the day, with many cast and crew pulling double duty on both productions. After 90 years, it is still a thrilling piece of filmmaking – filled with stunning production designs, wonderful optical effects, and—of course—thrilling action.

The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present The Most Dangerous Game in its UK debut on Blu-ray, from a 2K restored scan of the original camera negatives."


Special features:
  • Limited Edition O-Card Slipcase [2000 copies]
  • 1080p presentation on Blu-ray from a 2K restored scan of the original camera negatives
  • Optional English SDH
  • Brand new audio commentary with author Stephen Jones and author / critic Kim Newman
  • Brand new interview with author / critic Kim Newman on the “hunted human” sub-genre
  • Brand new interview with film scholar Stephen Thrower
  • A collector’s booklet featuring a new essay by Craig Ian Mann, illustrated with archival imagery

'Vampyr' (1932) - Standard edition Blu-Ray pre-order available at Eureka direct - £15.99

Release date: October 17

"The first foray into sound filmmaking by one of cinema’s pivotal artists, Vampyr remains a cornerstone work of the horror genre. The dreamlike tale of an occult-obsessed student’s visit to a small French village, as he is drawn into the unsettling mystery around a stricken family’s struggle with malevolent forces, remains an unparalleled evocation of the uncanny.

Adapting the haunted stories of Sheridan Le Fanu, Dreyer’s ceaseless innovation delivers a tour-de-force of supernatural phantasmagoria and creeping unease, via audacious camerawork and sound design.

Presented from an all-new 2K restoration by the Danish Film Institute, supported by the MEDIA program Creative Europe, and taking more than a decade to complete – materials from several European archives (including the BFI, CNC and DFI) have been meticulously scanned and assessed to create the highest quality and most faithful version of Vampyr possible. Now unveiled for the film’s 90th anniversary, one of the most visually and aurally distinctive horror films ever made finally comes to Blu-ray in the UK, in a definitive incarnation that achieves the full experience Dreyer intended audiences to have."


Special features:
  • All-new 2K digital restoration of the German version by the Danish Film Institute, completed in 2020 after an extensive decade-long restoration process, with uncompressed mono soundtrack
  • Optional unrestored audio track
  • Two audio commentaries: one by critic and programmer Tony Rayns; the second by filmmaker and Vampyr fan Guillermo del Toro
  • Visual essay by scholar Casper Tybjerg on Dreyer’s Vampyr influences
  • New video interview with author and critic Kim Newman on Vampyr's unique place within vampire cinema
  • Two new video interviews with music and cultural historian David Huckvale on the film's score and its adaptation of Sheridan Le Fanu
  • Carl Th. Dreyer (1966) – a documentary by Jörgen Roos
  • Two deleted scenes, removed by the German censor in 1932
  • The Baron – a short MoC documentary about Baron Nicolas de Gunzburg
  • Optional English subtitles
  • A collector’s booklet featuring a 1964 interview with Baron Nicolas de Gunzberg (producer and actor "Allan Gray"), an essay by Dreyer on film style, and writing by Tom Milne, Jean and Dale Drum, and film restorer Martin Koerber

'The Hunchback Of Notre Dame' (1923) - Blu-Ray pre-order available at Eureka direct - £18.99

Release date: October 17

"Perhaps the grandest of Universal’s silent films—and featuring arguably it’s first iconic movie monster—The Hunchback of Notre Dame stars Lon Chaney in the role which transformed him from a respected character actor to a global superstar.

Chaney stars as Quasimodo, the mocked and vilified bell-ringer of Notre Dame who selflessly protects the starcrossed street performer Esmerelda (Patsy Ruth Miller), who is in an ill-fated love affair with the dashing Captain Phoebus (Norman Kerry).

A “Super Jewel” adaptation of Victor Hugo’s novel, Universal spared no expense on this lavish production, and were rewarded with the most financially successful silent film they had released up to that point. Lon Chaney’s performance and make-up work are already legendary, but the rest of the film is as deserving of praise – a beautiful nightmare now fully restored in 4K and making its UK debut on Blu-ray as part of the Masters of Cinema series"


Special features:
  • Limited Edition O-Card Slipcase [2000 units]
  • 1080p presentation on Blu-ray from a 4K restoration conducted by Universal Pictures
  • Music by Nora Kroll-Rosenbaum & Laura Karpman (presented in uncompressed LPCM stereo)
  • Brand new audio commentary with author Stephen Jones and author / critic Kim Newman
  • Brand new interview with author / critic Kim Newman on the many adaptations of Victor Hugo’s novel
  • Brand new interview with film historian Jonathan Rigby
  • A collector’s booklet featuring a new essay by journalist Philip Kemp, illustrated with archival imagery

Three nice birthday presents for me there.
I never picked up the first Eureka VAMPYR release so this standard edition is great.
