In June of 2024, 88 Films is releasing the Blu-ray (Region B) for 1990’s Island on Fire (aka The Prisoner), an all-star Hong Kong thriller directed by Chu Yen Ping (Fantasy Mission Force, Pink Force Commando).

This title will soon be available at The Goodie Emporium, a U.S.-based online store that currently has many Import Shaw Brothers/Golden Harvest/martial arts DVD/Blu-ray movies in-stock – with New titles being added regularly!
Details and features are pending. Until then, here’s the film’s classic Trailer:
Is the cover art a joke?
What is Jackie Chan doing? Imitating Stallone?
But it’s a nice little good news, hoping we’ll get the Taiwanese cut restored too.
I thought the same, lately Jackie Chan seems to be mocked on those Bluray covers every time a new release is coming.
Police Story III comes to mind from from 88 films, also Police Story Trilogy from Eureka has a weird choice of Jackie doing a stunt while grimacing. And now this one, what’s going on?
“Starring Jackie Chan” is being generous, lol.
Releasing this idiotically plotted filth on Blu is being generous.
He’s one of the four leads. So since they’re all stars, yeah, it’s starring Jackie Chan.
