@@madhousenetwork Yes on the extras:; did 3 audio coms with Mike Leeder, made the location video (directed, edited and hosted) and also made the Jackie Chan Video game documentary.
Unfortunately I just bought the first two movies on blu ray from criterion during their last sale so I'll have to skip this one. However I did see that Police Story 3 is getting a standalone 4k release this year so I'll certainly get that!
As one of those people who saw two of these originally in theaters, I’m looking forward to receiving my set and checking out the color grading. Well done, Elliott. Cheers!
I love the smell of the books too, don't worry! Also, sometimes I enter the room where all my discs are kept and I get a plasticy waft of the local video shop, MGS Video, that takes me right back to 1991. Bliss!
Bought the first 2 during Barnes & Noble half off sale. Happens to me a lot. Bought a few Dario Argento movies right before Arrow put out better releases.
Definitely a must buy for me. I have the original Eureka set but I'll be happy to replace it with this set and get the third film finally into my collection. And in 4k nonetheless....and more Kung Fu Bob artwork! Winner!
I never watched them before I found picture was great and was happy and surprised with the Dolby vision,my only gripe is the terrible artwork on the Disc case's actually looks like a pirate print, the jbcard was to big for the box and folded at the sides ,I wish powerhouse/indicator did there thing with the cardboard disc covers/cases , and was hoping for a numberd box seeing as it's eurekas first 4k , bring on kwaidan 4k !
Just pre-ordered through your link. So happy Police Story 3 is finally getting a proper release as I think Miramax had its hands on the international rights explaining why its only now getting released in this fashion. The boxset includes the Miramax cut of Part 3 that adds a theme song by Devo which is kinda cool!
Elliot for collectors editions like these please make video in close ups of the items alone instead of showing it on hand. That way you will get more subscribers
Have to disagree with the quality of this release, I found it to be very poor, the j card didn't even fit the box, it seems as it was printed for a 2 disc release, the artwork on the sleeves themselves is also very poor and seems like a quick rushed job. Definitely not worth the full retail price.
I think there’s 10 films in the series. As well as the 3 in this set, there is Crime Story, Supercop 2, Police Story 4 First Strike, New Police Story (reboot),Police Story 2013 (reboot). I’m super excited to watch all 3 films in this set especially Police Story 3 that I’ve never seen.
@@martinstaller9118 the overall franchise includes all those movies you mentioned (maybe not Crime Story, I read somewhere it's part of another trilogy), but the main Police Story saga - meaning the ones with the same characters and continuity - are Police story 1, Police story 2, Supercop and First strike. Well, Supercop 2 with Michelle Yeoh is the spin-off, but that's that.
Great work as usual, Elliot! When I can, I'll pick this set up. They're great films, and Jackie Chan might be Hong Kong's signature 'brand', and overall, cultural figurehead on a global level, so, it's nice the films are getting the restorations, someone of his significance deserves. Hope you're well! :).
YES! both questions it's a very stupid question to ask. But hey keep on being stupid not wanting to give Police Story just cause Jackie isn't Bruce Lee!
Jackie Chan movies of the 70s till 90s are great. You would have seen only his Hollywood films like rush hour in which he would have aged and only did little stunts
Elliot - please don't ever stop saying booklet. Also I would totally import a 4k of the third film to go with my Criterion for the first two films, but they only seem to be selling it on a regular blu-ray. 😔
About your question: Yes, I agree with bad reviews about movies or releases. These types of comments say a lot about the honesty of the reviewer. You can't always be impressed by all the films or all the transfers of the material. That is if you are an honest person. Some movies are bad. In fact, you can find good parts in a bad thing. I always try. But if something is crap, it's crap no matter what. So... I'm waiting for your reviews to see which titles desapointed you. Those are going to be some very interesting videos. 😁 Cheers!
I used to like watching Jackie Chan, but I just can’t do it anymore after he became a nationalist shill for the brutal CCP regime. I know that one should separate the art from the artist, but it’s hard sometimes.
Citations, please. And preferably him saying it on video, not some website hearsay-on-hearsay-on-hearsay reporting or anonymous sources, etc. His interview for these discs has him talking about working hard, supporting his crew/stunt team as his family, and professing his belief in our Christian God. That doesn't add-up/can't be reconciled with what you claim about him. Until then, those claims are nothing more than rumors or gaslighting from the dark side (just like DJT & Russia collusion in the US).
@@cindymurphy669 Check out the video “Jackie Chan Wants to Join the Communist Party!” On the China Uncensored You Tube Channel. You can see video of him making propaganda statements and singing and dancing around in a recent CCP propaganda stage extravaganza. There are also good newspaper articles from Washington Post online and many others. You may learn a little about the character of the real Jackie Chan if you do your own research instead of demanding that others do it for you!
You can buy the Police Story 4K Trilogy here - amzn.to/3BPaYBI
Thanks for the kind words! Had tons of fun working on this 😊
You worked in this remaster?
@@madhousenetwork Yes on the extras:; did 3 audio coms with Mike Leeder, made the location video (directed, edited and hosted) and also made the Jackie Chan Video game documentary.
it would be interesting to compare the Eureka release of Police Story III with the US 88 films release.
When they say '' original cantonese track'' does it mean it has jackie's own voice?
There 3 more after 3rd police story movie there first strike new police story & police story lockdown ?
Upgrading my blu-rays? I'm upgrading from my DVD's :P
Same here, I don't have a 4k TV or player yet and blu rays are so cheap now compared to 4k versions
Unfortunately I just bought the first two movies on blu ray from criterion during their last sale so I'll have to skip this one. However I did see that Police Story 3 is getting a standalone 4k release this year so I'll certainly get that!
Same here!
Police story 1 is the best out of all movies. So definitely will upgrade to this set
Have never seen any of these so I doubt the grading will bother me. Looks like a great set- and Eureka are doing 4K releases now! Wow!
mine whites are white. not yellowish.
my tv color temp is not in "cool" setting.
the setting is only in standard color temp.
my tv is 2023 uhd qled tv
My preorder was just shipped! Can’t wait to get it.
As one of those people who saw two of these originally in theaters, I’m looking forward to receiving my set and checking out the color grading. Well done, Elliott. Cheers!
And you still can recall how it looked in the theatre more then 30 years ago? 🤔😅
Hello, is this eureka 4k set region free?
Hello, yes the 4K discs are all region free! Thanks
The first one is the best of the trilogy.
The art works should have been upgraded as well for the individual disks
I love the smell of the books too, don't worry! Also, sometimes I enter the room where all my discs are kept and I get a plasticy waft of the local video shop, MGS Video, that takes me right back to 1991. Bliss!

Same. Just bought the Criterion set in July. Oh well.

My thoughts exactly on the art. Reminds me of the old bootlegged dvds my mom used to have. Surprised these are the original poster arts!
Nice to have these classic Jackie movies in a 4K set!

How is the grain? Heavy?
I want to see the original version of Jackie Chans first strike. I.e. police story 4. I guess I saw 4 then 3 then 1 then 2.
