Very nice, lucky you! Hoping to interview her soon for the channel. Enjoy the set when it arrives :)

Such an awesome looking set! I really really love the grey and translucent cases! That new artwork is honestly the best new artwork for any film yet from either company 88 Films and Eureka!

I pray that 88 films will release in the Line Of Duty 5 to 7 on blu ray this year. I will be buying 2 copies of these ITLOD box set. Good video .

You can probably unlock your bluray player's region. Its also really cheap to buy a region free or region changeable player (less that fifty pounds)

I've looked into everything, but not giving up yet :)

Daft question…but are you manually selecting the region first before attempting to play the discs? With both my multi-region players you switch between the different regions with the coloured buttons on the remote. If you forget and shove, say, a region A disc in, when the player was last set to region B, then it will say ‘this disc can’t be played in your region’. You then have to eject it…select the correct region with the remote, before re-inserting the disc and it will then play. Of course, some discs are not locked to a particular region and will play regardless, without the need to switch anything.

Love the review but one note, I think it was in a hong kong cinema appreciation society video w/frank djeng where he said that no matter the film he always does different audio commentaries for the different releases. So you get different production stories or anecdotes from the different releases for him at least.

I hope they do any Moon Lee movie, every movie featuring from Yukari Oshima and also Joyce Godenzi . I also would be good to see older HK titles like Black Cat cleaned up and released on blu-ray.

Black Cat got a gorgeous release by 88 Films last year. Well worth getting. I hope they go for Moon & Yukari soon :)

I have 2 Panasonic UHD players and they both need the region code to be set when turning on. For my UB820, I press the 1 button on my remote when it is on standby. That’ll boot the player into Region A.

My heart goes out to you with the region lock. Hoping you get a player that works for you. Let me also say I discovered your channel last week after I decided I wanted to revisit some HK action movies from my youth. Your channel is my absolute favorite for asian action cinema. I can actually feel your obsession coming through the screen. As a collector of many different hobbies thank you for sharing. Regardless after watching your channel i spent several hundred dollars and I am off to a good start. Really looking forward to next month when my In the Line of Duty collection arrives.

@@invincibleasiaofficial I haven't picked up these yet, and maybe you know this - but plenty of region A will play on even region locked UK Blu Ray players. After you get the region locked message, try one of these two things - press stop on the bluray remote, then press Play. More often than not it'll just go right to the movie and you can back out to the menu from there. The other was is if you have a TOP MENU button on your bluray remote. Wait for the warning - region locked screen again, then press stop, then keep pressing TOP MENU till it goes to the menu. As I said, you probably know this little trick but sometimes it's the simplest thing that'll get you past the lock. I have the Eurkea releases of all four and love them to bits but that Artwork is almost worth the double dip on its own!

Great vid, as usual. Was the release date moved up? I have this on pre-order with Diabolik usa, with 16th May release date?? I, too, bought all the Eureka releases, but when i saw the artwork for the 88 release, i had to double dip. Luckily, I've not had any problems with my multi region player. I like to have region B so I'll keep both Eureka and 88 releases

@Invincible Asia when i was watching you read from the back of the box, i was disappointed that another "deluxe" edition had a printed back, i was so happy when you revealed that awesome artwork.. i would have loved the individual case art to have all got individual slips, too.. i would have paid extra for that! Obviously, the work these label's do on the films/discs/extras themselves is what we buy them for, but this package/amazing artwork is why we double dip. I have to say, though, that generally, i always prefer 88films and Arrow video's Art over Eureka.. i hope that in the future, maybe Eureka can hire some of these talented artists. I'm not trying to put down the artist Eureka used, it's just my preference.. some people would prefer Eureka's.. for example, I ordered Magnificent Warriors from Eureka, but when i saw 88's usa release, i preferred 88s, so i ordered that too.. but when i watched HKCAS Channel, Will said he preferred Eureka's.. Art is subjective. I really enjoy your videos, thank you:-)
