Twilight of the warriors - walled in is getting released on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K release date is November 19th, 2024
I liked it. I've seen mixed reviews by some - for me I enjoyed the story, the twists, the music and the martial arts...I'm not a arts expert but do love good choreographed fights...didn't overthink it...just enjoyed the movie
Is this 4k or just the same quality as the Hong Kong BD?
Just regular Blu-ray. Very likely the exact same transfer and subs as the regular HK BD.
@@TheFanaticalDragon Thanks for the reply! I was hoping UHD Club wasn't just a name and actually meant it was a 4k releases. 😅
@codemonkeyattack anytime, sometimes they do put out 4K’s but generally only for western movies. I don’t think UHD club are arranging their own restorations or on disc extras at all. Just making pretty packaging really.
@@TheFanaticalDragon gotcha, thanks for the info. My first time seeing this company but I was about to scour eBay for a chance to get this movie in 4k when I saw your video. I own the HK BDs which I'll hold on to for now unless a new edition comes out.
Almost got me...looked at buyoyo and there's no mentions of Traditional Chinese subtitles. Personally not a fan of Simplified Chinese text.
looks nice and fun Jet Li flick - I see prices on ebay for like $200 tho that’s out of my range - hope you didn’t spend that much! Maybe a US or UK company will pick this up at some point in the future
That's madness, the set cost me £45 plus shipping. Lots of the group buy sites charged double that though, can imagine ebay is even worse!
Wow. Beautiful, I really love the look of this edition ❤
Thanks brother! Think they still have copies available.
Where did you order it from?
buyoyo
@@TheFanaticalDragon I checked out Buyoyo and it seems like I saw the cover image, but it was listed as the 1976 film (but starring Jet Li). Is that the one you ordered? Thanks.
@jasonwhiton174 yep that’s the one, they listed the date wrong, common mistake with the older Shaw’s movie of the same name. Just make sure it says MLIFE in the notes and that’s the right one
@@TheFanaticalDragonThanks! I just ordered it. Not cheap…$86 to get it shipped to the US.
Nice boxset Dragon for a very entertaining flick. Is Shaolin Temple 2 any good just curious lol, thanks fir sharing.
thanks mate, two is the weakest of the three films for me, it's ok, but nowhere near as good as the first or LKL's third entry..
Shalion temple 2 is a guilty pleasure for me it has good action and comedy
Thank you my friend.
Thank you as always my friend!
@@TheFanaticalDragon 🤩
Already? I watched that movie 3 day ago in theaters
CineAsia is sadly only releasing the Bluray from the looks of it.. The pre-order have been up a couple of weeks or so by now.
I'm enjoying the group chat (psyched to hear there will be vol 2 box set!). I came into the set without a background in this corner of movies, but I find it all super fun to explore! I loved the doc, of course. And I think I look forward most to seeing the more zany titles (Clones, Dragon Lives Forever).
I surprisingly enjoined this movie decent kung fu good story cinematography all the best dragon
Big fan of this media book design. Do you know if this is the first that CN Entertainment have released a movie like this? Or do they have a range of limited editions with the media book format?
good question! I'm not sure tbh. It's the first like this i've seen, but i don't have many CN entertainment titles.
Watched this at the cinema. Thank you my friend.
Got the blu ray in today! What a fantastic film…a masterpiece in my eyes. Unfortunately it didn’t come to a theater around me but I am very happy I have the blu ray as I will be watching this one a lot.
@@Pat6670 just making an unboxing video for the Bluray, mine arrived today today! Kung fu high fives! Sorry you didn’t get to see it on the big screen, but happy you have it hand to watch whenever you like!
@@TheFanaticalDragonthat’s awesome you got your copy in today also! Man I love this film…
This looks so cool! Is it contain different content/images from the other Green Hornet special issue?
A thorough review offering good insight, thank you
I think you should avoid these type of films in future .. if I watched this prior to ordering I wouldn’t have bothered But I love these films for what they are!! Superb Cameroon connection I may never place in the player though
i love Sonny Chiba movies he's so damn badass he's my favorite beside Bruce Lee I like both of them are so badass 🐉👊
i love this channel because it talks about old school kung fu movies and I love kung fu movies especially one from the 70s 🍿👊
the mega cut extended version!
Fully uncut! 😂
Thank you my friend plus special guests.
As a 90's kid, I was so happy and excited to see my all HK A-list veteran actors in this movie. It was badass, action pack & definitely lived up to the hype. Its been a long time since HK had such a good movie❤🤧
The 3rd film is poor and not John Woo. Only problem here
If you have those criterion collections, hold onto them. Like I did
Saw this yesterday at a cinema in California, it was wonderful!
I would suggest to feature Game of Death 2 in the next documentaries. That would be perfect for the second release.
Thanks a lot, dude. It’s called see movies without big titles coming out and somebody showing them some respect so nice one.
Just left the theater. One of the best movies I've seen in years. Go watch it everyone. I will go back again to see it
This is so important, so amazing and such a great achievement! What a treat!
Amazing work and effort!
It’s finally available here in the US, I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE IT TONIGHT 🔥
Nice and fella haven’t seen this packaging at all not convinced I would buy it only because I’ve already got the movie but yeah, great movie and yeah cheers for anyway fella
This has been on my to watch list for a far too long. Time to finally check it out.
This is what the Arrow release should've been. Looking forward to receiving this later on. I'm surprised they have exclusive rights to the 4K or just got it first.
I entirely agree! Kinda suspect Arrow will likely re-release it on 4K at some point.
I made a bulk order on Umbrella so I won't receive these until October unfortunately :( I sold my Nova Media release of The Quiet Family in anticipation for this because there was subtitle mistakes and Nova encodes aren't great.
Wow, fantastic looking sets! I feel like The Quiet Family is not mentioned enough considering it features some insane heavy hitters.
Thank you my friend.
Awesome can't wait
Hi dragon thank you for video we definitely need cheering up as we are currently experiencing riots in England
Aye mate, it’s intense south of the border just now! Stay safe!
Thanks mate I appreciate that
Niice. Thank you my friend.
Is the outer slipcase a rigid Hardcase similar to the way Arrow’s are?
You've sold me on this. Now i just have to justify to Shaz, then it will be mine ❤
Either this or By a Man’s Face shall you know him are both excellent gateway’s into Tai Kato’s mastery of the craft!
@@TheFanaticalDragon I feel this is an area I need to explore. You have far better knowledge of Japanese cinema than I Brother 😉
Nice package. Im still boycotting French releases until the movies come with English Subs. Great looking releases though ❤
You’ll be waiting a lifetime for that to happen brother. If the French labels included English subtitles they wouldn’t be able to release the movies at all. Adding English subs effectively makes it an international release with all the extra rights negotiations that comes with that. The French labels cater to their own domestic market, just as ours in the U.K. do. How many other languages other than English subs do you see on any 88 films or Eureka release?
@TheFanaticalDragon you are 100% right, which admittedly means I'll probably never purchase any of them. Luckily with, HK, German and Korean releases catering for us, I'll still have more than plenty to pick from 😁
Tremendous job on this review Brother! I lot of work, I can appreciate, and done in spectacular fashion I hope this encourages more people to seek out this incredible movie ❤
Thanks mate, wish I’d had the chance to see it on the big screen when it came out originally! It’s Definitely one that more people need to track down!
Nice box. But I'm on a strict no double dipping diet. So I'm always glad to have a peek inside when you do these wonderful unboxings ❤
I’m also trying not to double dip but desperate for more South Korean movies being given decent releases here in the U.K so supporting second sight’s forays into SK cinema as much as I can!
@@TheFanaticalDragon I hope they release The Quiet Family 🤞🤞🤞
Excellent review, dude :) My copy should arrive tomorrow! I am planning on reviewing the three releases soon and checking out others that can find. Looking for your review for Tokijiro: Lone Yakuza soon :)
Thanks mate! Hope you have your copy in hand now! Really looking forward to Tokijiro! Excited to see more Tai Kato. He impresses me more and more with each movie of his I get to see!
I love everything about your channel your channel rocks 😁
Thanks mate! I really appreciate you checking out my videos and happy you’re enjoying the channel!
Okay thank you sir
i love your channel and I'm a big fan of Bruce Lee and Hong Kong Cinema I just love your channel it's so awesome 😎🐉☯️👊🍿
