MoC Forthcoming, Wishlist, and Random Speculation

[SeizureMilk]

Looks like the Zulawski trilogy is confirmed via E.E.'s tweet maker.

Thank you for reading.

[SeizureMilk]

Wow, finally, hopefully this release means we'll get a Mondo Vision release as it started 2015 or 2016, right?

Looks like we're getting Zulawski trilogy and Mr. Vampire collection:

I think that the Mr. Vampire set is only going to contain titles 2-4 as Irongod said that this boxset was going to contain only new titles.

[therewillbeblus]

I seem to remember them as slightly inferior to the first one but otherwise pretty much in the very same kind of result, so I'd say Yes.

I missed this - Thanks! Probably a best case scenario answer

I'm really confused what's happening in this thread. anyway, Zulawski trilogy would make sense as to why there was no MOC releases the last two months

[yoloswegmaster]

They will also be releasing Ringo Lam's Burning Paradise, as well as adding 'Vampire vs Vampire' to the Mr. Vampire boxset (even though I don't recall it ever actually being a part of the Mr. Vampire series).

[Finch]

Burning Paradise had already been teased before the new year so the only new announcement this week seems to be the Mr Vampire boxset.

ANDRZEJ ŻUŁAWSKI: Three Films (Masters of Cinema)

[swo17]

Are the three titles known or merely speculated to be Third Part of the Night, Diabel, and On the Silver Globe? Because the actors listed on the Amazon page are consistent with those first two

[criterionsnob]

The running time listed is pretty close to the three of those added together, so it's hopefully those three.

The teaser images they first tweeted out awhile ago were for those 3.

Also, Le chat qui fume are releasing a boxset with those 3 in France (plus the doc Escape from the Silver Globe).

They will also be releasing Ringo Lam's Burning Paradise, as well as adding 'Vampire vs Vampire' to the Mr. Vampire boxset (even though I don't recall it ever actually being a part of the Mr. Vampire series).

It was released as Mr. Vampire 5 in some territories (notably Japan), it has a bunch of cast members from the Mr. Vampire series reprising their roles, and—I suspect this was crucial when it came to including it in the boxset—it's a Golden Harvest film, unlike, say, Magic Cop and Mr. Vampire 1992 (the "other" Mr. Vampire 5s). And this is matter of personal taste, but I like it better than almost all of the numbered sequels, none of which were actually numbered sequels in Hong Kong anyway.

I see that Carlotta are releasing Millennium Mambo 4K in France, I wonder if Eureka have this as their next MoC UHD? Would make entire sense, as Kino Lorber have the US rights, so no fear of Criterion barging in (unless another UK label got it of course, such as Arrow, Radiance, or Second Run).

[Calvin]

It's a Spectrum Films release, not Carlotta. Though I do agree that MoC is its most likely UK home.

Sorry, you're right! Think I was looking at a list of Carlotta releases at the same time and got confused there. Anyway, Spectrum have been releasing the same titles as UK labels like Eureka (Rich and Famous/Tragic Hero, Odd Couple, Burning Paradise, PTU, Wild Search, Raining in the Mountain, Full Alert, The Bride with White Hair etc), 88 Films (God of Gamblers, Ebola Syndrome) and Third Window (The Taste of Tea, Warped Forest/Funky Forest, Burning Buddha Man/Violence Voyager).

That said, there are plenty Spectrum have also done that I'm surprised a label like Eureka hasn't also got yet - Hu's All the King's Men (as well as Four Moods and The Wheel of Life), Yang's The Terrorisers, and a few Johnnie To films (Loving You, Lifeline, The Longest Nite, Expect the Unexpected, A Hero Never Dies). I guess with that last one there are so many To films to choose from...perhaps Radiance have one or two of his (perhaps a stretch, but they do have 'Hong Kong actioner' mentioned in their Members section).

Masuto and Nomura were also interviewed about another Junya Sato title to be announced later this year.

[rapta]

Reckon that upcoming Sato title is likely to be Golgo 13, especially as it's getting a US release from Diskotek Media this coming May. In fact, I'd be quite surprised if it wasn't!

Murders in the Zoo is going to be cut

Classified Date: 03/03/2023
Version: 2D
Use: Physical media + VOD/Streaming
Distributor: Eureka Entertainment Ltd

Cuts:

The distributor chose to make cuts to a sequence of animal cruelty. Cuts were made in accordance with BBFC Guidelines, policy, and the Video Recordings Act, 1984, which applies the standards of the Cinematograph Films (Animals) Act 1937.

[EddieLarkin]

Anyone know what the offending moment would be? The runtime is listed as 8s shorter than the Shout Factory disc. Strangely, Eureka have apparently cut this themselves, which isn't usually something a boutique would ever do, especially when it comes to animal cruelty issues as the BBFC do seem very accommodating now when it comes to interpreting the law.

At the other forum, nobody seems sure what the offending moment could be, and the one suggestion is very clearly not in breach of the law...

[Finch]

They teased Revenge again on Facepalm for Thursday.

[yoloswegmaster]

Cynthia Rothrock's The Blonde Fury is also being hinted at.

[What A Disgrace]

Fukusaku's Samurai Reincarnation, as well. Looks like this really is the year of Japanese genre films! I wonder which titles will be Masters of Cinema and which ones will be regular old Eureka.
