Comments Blaine: I messed up last week. Not only was the Amazon digital release date accurate, the iTunes release date for purchase was also March 12. (The March 19 date I saw was for rentals only.) The digital version was deliberately released a week earlier than the physical copies at all retailers in an effort to curb illegal downloads.

Comments Alex: These are the films Chan was in before he, and most Hong Kong directors, realized that he simply worked better as a comedic actor (in part because he hadn’t quite developed the chops for drama).

  1. Does anyone know what makes this Gorgo release the “Ultimate Collector’s Edition?”

    Also, the Canadian links (at least, some of them) appear to be broken.

  2. Like I said last week, no way am I buying The Hobbit until the deluxe director’s extended super cut boxed set of all three movies comes out.
