Pedicab Driver is with Warner Bros, so I doubt it will be coming from Eureka (unless they have made a secret deal with WB).
Good point. I guess it might be stuck in DVD-only-hell indefinitely, then, like The Blade...
There is some small hope for The Blade, if Criterion's Once Upon a Time in China set sells well and if they got along with Tsui Hark while putting that set together, they might try to get The Blade from WB. Lot of ifs, but keep hope alive.

Great news, Night of the Demon is by far the best Bigfoot movie ever (I mean, Harry and the Hendersons is fun and full, but no castration in that one...)
RW is hopefully Righting Wrongs and someone speculated that Whip and the Body is one of the titles teased. That would be wonderful as the only release that's gotten this film right is the old German ems DVD.
Edit: I clicked on the image on Facebook itself and tried to add it as per the image linking instructions but it won't show.
On The Run is another HK film I've heard great things about and am very excited for. If those guesses are correct, 2022 is going to be even better for classic Hongkong on physical media.
On the Run is a good, moody minimalist thriller. It's very low-key, but I thought it was very good. Patricia Ha seems a pretty realistic hitwoman, by Hong Kong standards. I would love to see it in hi–definition.
House on the EDGE of the Park? Newly restored by Severin who significantly region locked their release. Can this movie be passed uncensored in the U.K.?
Likewise Cannibal Holocaust- “CH”, also circled like “Edge.”
ZEDER? Avati title was promised a few months ago.
Hopefully WHIP & the Body although 88 also have an Asian cinema focus & it could apparently be a Shaw Bros title Shadow WHIP?
Someone suggested on bluraydotcom's forum that VC could be Sergio Sollima's Violent City. Obviously Kino are working on a pending release of this, from a fresh scan, so it could look pretty good.

It was heavily implied to me recently that either Violent City or Revolver will be coming from a different UK label in the new year. I say heavily implied because they said it would be a Sollima film, recently restored, and was one of his poliziotteschi. Anyway, even better if both are coming!
I just saw the Amazon listings for Legendary Weapons of China and The Flag of Iron - anyone seen these who can comment on which one to prioritize? I quite liked their release of Chinese Boxer.
Legendary Weapons is a good film with a lot of cool visuals. Not my favorite Lau Kar Leung film, but a very worthwhile one.
Flag of Iron is a middle-grade Venoms movie––not as wacky and inspired as The Daredevils or House of Traps, nowhere near as accomplished as Shaolin Rescuers or The Rebel Intruders, but not as boring as Kid with the Golden Arm or The Magnificent Ruffians. I remember literally nothing of the plot––it was not vivid. But when the flags come out and everyone starts doing somersaults in slow motion, it was a pretty decently good time. Still, I would put it on the forgettable side of the Venoms canon. Personally, I wouldn't spend $30 on a blu ray of the film, if it came down to it. Maybe $10.
