At last we will get a decent release, to be honist i would be happy with a new anamorphic transfer which gives this classic a clean up.

Hopefully they should do that, dunno to much though :(

Well, this news is a bit special. Do I see a two disc set on the horizon?

I think I do.

This has to be part of the new Platinum range, surely? HKL would be insane if it weren't.

Also great to see HKL releasing Bullet in the Head one of my favourite John Woo films.

Great! Now I won't have to fork out an unreasonable sum for that OOP Criterion version on eBay!:D

No need to get the French "The Killer", either. Wonder who'll they get for the commentary. I'm personally awaiting the John Woo movies, Cit on Fire and the Chinese Ghost Stories.

Euh I hope it was ironic? In fact I'd like to see Tartan and MIA get bankrupt, it would give a chance for HKL to get the rights for Hard-Boiled and ABT 1 among others!

Nope, Tartan are fantastic and would of given this release the attention it deserves. Unlike HKL who can never seem to be able to get hold of the correct audio & when they do they bugger it by converting it from 2.0 to 5.1.
....and if I have to sit through another one of those Bey Logan commentaries...... Is he the only guy that can be bothered to turn up, or does he just work for free ?.
....and don't even get me started about American Voiceover man !.

Fortunately that bloody sig of yours negates the need to include the relevant smilies, unless you REALLY were being serious!!

I was gonna include a smile just to make sure, but I feel it works better without given how I was obviously being sarcastic in the 1st place.
