I love this film! Can’t wait especially since I only own the US bluray release!
Fun movie, Twin Dragons, not only do you get two Jackies for the price of one, you get two of his most beautiful leading ladies, Maggie Cheung & Nina Li Chi (& quite a bit of fun action, too!)! I do have a Japanese blu ray of TD but it doesn’t have much in the way of special features, I hope 88 Films is able to put together some good extras (I always wondered if somewhere out there there aren’t some entertaining out-takes for Twin Dragons, maybe some behind the scenes footage, & who wouldn’t love interviews with either or both of the leading ladies?).
I’m looking forward to this. I haven’t seen the movie since its butchered U.S. release (with a very horrible English dub job!)
I hear you, I still have my copy I ordered from San Francisco complete with barely legible subtitles and a picture that rivals the old Good Times ep prints of Chinese Connection II and Bruce Le’s Greatest Revenge.
I remember the days when merely mediocre picture quality was a luxury for us Kung Fu collectors.
That’s the ONLY copy of Twin Dragons I ever saw. I know exactly what print you’re talking about. However, I’m pretty sure it was worse than any GoodTimes EP VHS print.
I have the French Blu-Ray.
I’ll take it if this is a new master (I think so) and the bonus are good.
Horrible special effects, Teddy Robin Kwan’s character dropped fast after the beginming of the movie, average action scenes…OK to good comedy… The biggest problem for me is the awesome 15 minutes action scene near the end of the movie… Well, I’ll keep my French Blu-Ray, don’t wanna pay for a useless Deluxe edition.
