About this deal

(98 min) Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie. This appears to be Director and Co-Star Hung’s touch as there is the sort of feel that Millionaires Expresshas to its comedic stylings than say Chan’s more physical comedy ala Meals on Wheels. The result is a film that works as well as a romance as it does as an action vehicle without the sort of danger and peril faced by Chan in his normal comedic entire.

As an enthusiast I appreciate a well-crafted sound mix that draws me into the onscreen elements, regardless of where the sounds are emanating from. This Atmos mix is fair, occasionally broadening the soundstage and incorporating occasional point by point cues. It had potential but, I couldn’t help but feel let down by it. Dragons Foreveris peak Chan, peak Biao, and peak Hung.A long way of saying it’s a nearly perfect Action Rom-Com. The Transfer(s) One of his films, though, has been incredibly difficult to get in the U.S., maybe only available at one time on Laserdisc from Tai Seng. That film is the 1988 masterpiece Dragons Forever. 88 Films Ska Martes on Hard Target | 4K UHD + Blu-ray (Kino Lorber) Love this movie.

I also felt that the sun splashed sequences benefited from the application of HDR which emboldened their depth. In addition to the increase in resolution, this made the differences between the 1080p video and this rendering standout. English Version - 4K restoration of the English version of Dragons Forever, which was commissioned by Golden Harvest for international audiences outside Asia with the classic English dub.

The Legacy of Dragons Forever - in this short program, stuntmen Troy Sandford and Chris Jones, and filmmaker Boyask, amongst other, discuss the unique chemistry between the stars of Dragons Forever. In English. (3 min) Thai Breaker – An Interview with Billy Chow: A 34-minute interview with Billy Chow which starts off set at a match where various other people discuss his work before getting to Chow himself who goes in depth about his career. Hong Kong Cinema Forever: Interview with Mike Leeder (6:05) – in this all-too-brief interview Leeder gives us a context of why this – the last of the Three Brothers Films – is so good, a personal account of Dragons Forever– including a hilarious discussion the conditions in which he saw the film for the first time, and more.In English. For its presentation in Ultra HD Dragons Forever was derived from a brand new 4K scan of the original camera negative. Interviews begin with stuntman Chin Kar-Lok, the move on to writer Szeti Cheuk-Hon, actor Benny Urquidez, professor David Desser, Mike Leeder, and stuntmen Joe Eigo, Andy Chang, Jude Poyer, and Billy Chow (all individually). A brief two-minute retrospective is followed by set footage/outtakes (12-minutes worth). Music videos and trailers cap this sensational, hours long extras set.

The 4K disc houses extras in bunches. Frank Djeng and FJ DeSanto handle commentary on the Japanese cut. Mike Leeder and Arne Venema do the same, but for the Hong Kong version. Note the international cut is here too, but with no commentary. The Legacy of Dragons Forever Featurette with today’s actors & martial artists including Troy Sandford, Chris Jones, Ross Boyask, Maria Tran, Mike Leeder, Jean-Paul Ly, Mark Strange, Mike Moeller, George Clarke, Jude Poyer & Steve Lawson Elite Stuntman – Interview with Chin Kar-Lok: A 39-minute interview with Chin Kar-Lok in which he discusses his journey to the movie business, how his martial arts training helped his career, the place of a stuntman in the ‘80s, where Hong Kong stood in the international cinema landscape, the financial realities of being a stuntman, the need to hone your skills, memories of Dragons Forever and more

Then come the fights, among the most splendidly choreographed outbursts in Chan’s career, and that’s not said lightly. Short of Police Story’s epic mall battle, the amount of shattered glass during Dragons Forever’s finale is unbelievable. Stunt work looks absolutely painful, and the speed doesn’t even seem possible for human beings.I found the Ultra HD presentation of Dragons Forever allows its attributes to be fully realized in a way that it probably hadn’t been before. I believe that what we are seeing is a faithful rendering of the film’s elements. The question now becomes, is the Ultra HD version worth considering? I would say that if you’re a fan and want to own Dragons Forever in 4K with HDR and, Dolby Atmos sound, the answer is a resounding yes.

The Legacy of Dragons Forever - stuntmen Troy Sandford and Chris Jones, and filmmaker Boyask, amongst other, discuss the unique chemistry between the stars of Dragons Forever. In English. (3 min)This may be a bold statement, but the 4K release from 88 Films and Fortune Star is the release I’ve been waiting for most of my life to see. I was around eighteen when I first saw it on a 10th-generation bootleg VHS. The subpar quality always left me wanting more. The Laserdisc I bought in the early 2000s was undoubtedly a step up but nowhere near what I would long for. This release is everything I have wanted and more.
