Blast from the past. This could be a little gem.
Here’s a full listing of trailers (in order of appearance) included on the Blu-ray. All transferred in 2k from 35mm reels (but all the scratches and dust were left on…I love it!). All crisp. Maybe a few blurry trailers, but unfixable (I imagine they were originally filmed out of focus). All original Chinese trailers, with the exception of a couple (noted the ones with English narrations). Optional commentary with Ric, Michael and some other fellas, but honestly, I only listened to the commentaries for the Bruceploiation films.
