Watch the 88 Films’ Trailer below:
One of my favorite Jackie Chan movies but I’m not sure I’ll get this. I’ve had multiple versions (one of the first DVDs I owned was Armor of God 2: Operation Condor), the last Blu ray version I got was excellent, 88 Films is going to have to impress me with new bonus features to make me think it’s worth buying yet another version.
I guess it Depends on if you’re a 4k uhd fan or not. If having it in the higher resolution with HDR doesn’t really matter to you, then you’re all set with your Blu-ray. Has all the special features and everything like that, that this does. I’m pretty sure this is a brand new scan/remaster than the one used for their older Blu-ray. That one was scanned in 2K while with this one they went back to the original negative and scanned in it 4k and redid everything while also adding HDR. If that stuff isn’t all that important to ya, your Blu-ray is good enough, it looks great.
Like what Mark says if your system can handle HDR its a nice upgrade. And the 4K resolution really allows you to see the film grain giving it that proper movie look.
Is it essential? Probably not unless you skipped the previous release. Also depends how much you love the movie and don’t mind triple/6 times dipping. Miracles, Project A 1/2, Police Story triology are S-Tier for me so I “reluctantly” got the 4k even though i probably have 5 versions of these movies by now . Probably will get AOG2 as well. Its a shame that these 4k releases are being released relatively so soon after their excellent 1080p bluray releases (relative cos i think it has been 4 years since the bluray came out) because some of these new scans are stunning. The cynical part of me thinks that 88 films were able to release these 4k releases at the same time as their blurays but withheld them knowing some of us would bite again.
The Blu-Ray was excellent. They should put out “new” movies, not milking the ones already in Blu-Ray.
88 Films won’get my money, it’s over, they put our a great Limited edition for the first one, why didn’t they do the same for Operation condor? Well, to sell a very expensive 4KUHD/BD set a few years later, at an indecent price.
Maybe their “arty” Hong Kong movies didn’t work that well…
