Arriving on January 4, 2027 is Arrow Films/Toy Robot Video’s 2-Disc 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray for 2003’s Cradle 2 the Grave. Producer Joel Silver and director Andrzej Bartkowiak, who fused martial arts and hip-hop style in Romeo Must Die and Exit Wounds, take it to the next level in Cradle 2 the Grave.

Terrible movie but also a guilty pleasure. If you were there in the noughties catching all the Jet Li movies in the cinema it was a rollercoaster ride where he would elevate the genre with Hero, Fearless and the Warlords and then bring back to the martial arts section of your local rental place with this, Romeo and War.
Mark said there was a longer fight scene between him and Jet that got truncated. I wonder if they still have it.
