I hope so since Genius distributes them. They have some good movies they've brought over like Infernal Affairs, SPL, Seven Swords, The Protector.

I hope so too. I'd buy an Infernal Affairs boxset in a heartbeat. It'd also be interesting to see how stuff like Police Story holds up in HD.

The transfer for POLICE STORY is abysmal, taken from a soft and grainy print that looks to be a 16mm reduction. :mad:

Police Story 2 is better. SHA PO LANG (aka Kill Zone) looks excellent, but that's no surprise given it's a new film.

I am VERY curious about HARD BOILED, which comes out soon.

Yes, I'm particularly excited for Hard Boiled, The Killer, Fist of Legend and Bullet in the Head.

SPL was incredible, as was Seven Swords.

I've decided to purchase all of the DD titles...an announcement of HD-DVD versions would be excellent.

What the hell?!? :eek:

When damnit, when? Details please. :D

May 22.

Whoa. Do we need to import the John Woo stuff or will they be available in the US?

No idea if they will do HD. I have emailed and written them with no response.

Man, I hope Fist of Legends (The Master) is the uncut version! This would be one hell of an HD-DVD though.
Anyone watched Storm Riders? This would be great on HD also.
What about Hero, is this still Miramax's exclusive?

I hope we get these on HD someday, especialy Hard Boiled, and City Of Violence.
