Further details are pending, but we’ll update you as we learn more! For now, watch the Trailers below:
I agree with the Hong Kong Cinema Club that this is not top tier artwork. And I say that as someone who didn’t have a huge problem with the art of previous Shout releases. It’s a good thing it’s only for the outer box!
But it’s great to have these releases here. I never got to see the sequel before, so I’m looking forward to this purchase.
I’ll be looking forward to these releases. I hope Shout is able to get a new interview with Conan Lee, he may never have lived up to his full potential as an action star but he certainly had an interesting career as an actor.
Great ugly cover.
