New Stephen Chow bluray.

One of the most infamous movies branded with Hong Kong's 'adults only' Category III rating, Taxi Hunter bravely tackles the under-explored scourge of – er – unprofessional taxi drivers. After his pregnant wife is perishes through the actions of a careless (and callous) cabby, mild-mannered Ah Kin (Anthony 'king of the Cat III's' Wong) declares war on the entire profession – and you don't need 'The Knowledge' to know he won't be leaving a tip...

Directed by Herman Yau (who unleashed Ebola Syndrome on an unsuspecting world) 88 Films are pleased to present this important treatise on public transport in a wonderful new blu-ray edition

I'm excited to see more Meiko Kaji after seeing her recently in Wandering Ginza Butterfly and Yakuza Graveyard. I wanted to buy Straycat Rock box set, but I'll get it next time.

It's been awhile since I've watched the other two.

A large slate of releases with some fancy sets:

• The Psycho Collection (1960-1990) 4k - UK
• The Psycho Collection (1960-1990) - UK
• Ringu (1998) 4k - UK, US, CA
• Carlito's Way (1993) 4k - UK, US, CA
• Blood and Black Lace (1964) 4k - UK
• Blood and Black Lace (1964) - UK
• The Prodigal Son (1981) - US, CA
• Borsalino (1970) - US, CA

The Ringu, Carlito's Way and Blood and Black Lace 4k releases also come in Arrow exclusive original art packaging (not available in Canada).

Blu-ray.com have the technical specifications.

Personally, I'd have been all over Prodigal Son but have Eureka's set with Warriors Two, so I'm fine skipping that. I think Ringu is the instant buy there for me and, while they have an Arrow exclusive release, I like the cover art of the ordinary limited edition (where the Arrow exclusive of the Bruce Lee set won me around).

The Psycho Collection is a tricky one - the original will look great in 4k but the quality of the sequels drops away hard but none are truly terrible (3 is the worst and I gave that 5/10). It's one I might buy, stare at for a while and then, in the cold light of day, bung it on eBay or not (the booklet and what looks like a transparent shower curtain slipcover could definitely win me round).

I recommend Solid Metal Nightmares / The Films Of Shinya Tsukamoto boxset for some wild intense movies.

I'm waiting for my order to come in today which I will post.
