Awesome Release. So wonderful having all three "A Better Tomorrow" films available in a 4K, looking as striking as they do in this Arrow Boxset release, with so many amazing "Extras" across the various discs included. "A Better Tomorrow 1 & 2" are my personal favourites, with the final shootout in "A Better Tomorrow 2" an absolute standout for all those Woo fans out there, in regards to it's over-the-top gun-play and body count.
Thank you again Terracotta for your exceptional service, lightning-fast delivery and excellent packaging, all as standard operating procedure.
I pre-ordered on the strength of the trailers alone, having missed it at the cinema. I was not disappointed.
Keeping this spoiler free, but I'm obviously a fan of this one!
One of the best examples of modern Wuxia and Chinese cinema, blending CG, wire-work and action seamlessly. A rare achievement.
The story is a test of family, friendship and loyalty all woven with heart, passion and humour. It's a breathless adventure from start to finish, so much so I didn't realise how quickly two hours can fly by! The pacing is supurb.
The film looks beautiful from start to finish, brilliant performances from all involved; fantastic direction and cinematography; a score to set the pulse racing; and enough action to keep you on the edhe of your seat. The director was the action choreographer on films like Couching Tiger, The Matrix, One Upon a Time in China II, Kill Bill and many more and it shows. His best film to date.
It's been an outstanding few years for Chinese cinema and this is an absolute favourite: highly recommended!
What a beautiful film. Cinematographic excellence. It was a wonderful experience. I sat in awe after it finished. I was so moved by the story and the scenery. So thankful for being able to watch this work of art.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What more is there to say? I always thought I’d already seen the films! And anyone who, like me, had the DVDs from Germany knows what that means: nobody has ever actually seen the films! And the fact that it’s actually coming true – that all three parts, complete with numerous extras, are finally being released in a truly fantastic box set – is something I’d never dared to hope for!
And what they’ve managed to extract from the footage here is, at least for me, a revelation… and if anyone reading this isn’t familiar with these classics: don’t think twice, just buy them!
For me, they score 10 out of 10 Heroic Bloodshed points
This movie approach so many subjects that you can reflect on and apply to your own Life.
This movie is a must saw !
Thank you terracotta distribution for your website as someone living in France i appreciate your service !
Crazy Lips and Gore from outer space was bought, because Terracotta implied to do so. What i experienced were some, if not THE most, insane Movies to be witnessed, at least from Japan. I never would have expected such really crazy and unbelievable Efforts. They beat Sion Sono and even Takashi Miike. This is full on entertaining, with great Actors and weird Storytelling. And, as usual, Third Window again brought tons of extras with it. Thank you very much, Joey. And domo arigato Takahashi, Sasaki and Ichise-San!!
Terracotta always deliver, their packing is always great and the blu rays arrive in pristine condition, will continue expanding my collection through them.
Well this might be my favourite release of this year. It’s so brilliant. Loved all the extras and the movies look fantastic. Thank you so much terracotta store for this item.
Arrived very quickly and packaged well, will definitely be placing more orders with Terracotta, already eyeing up my next purchase
I love movies with young quirky characters, fun stories, great music and exciting visuals, and this movie checked all those boxes. I had a great time watching it and expect to revisit it the next time I need a good-time energy boost. I'm also looking forward to checking out more films by Tetsuya Nakashima. I've ordered Memories of Matsuko and can hardly wait to see it.
I think you need someone to view the films before they are taken on and released. A few of the films I've bought are quite obviously rubbish and don't deserve to be re-released.
I ordered this on the premise and the stacked cast alone. I was not disappointed.
Featuring a stacked cast of old hands like Sammo Hung, Richie Chen and Louis Koo and a fantastic bunch of young action actors: Raymond Lam, Terrance Lau, Kenny Wong, German Cheung and Philip Ng. Not one weak link among them.
Based on the Chinese comic of the same name, it tells a fantastical tale of redemption, friendship and the importance of looking out for one another no matter the circumstances. And while this is a somewhat romanticised tale of life in the walled-city, I fell in love with it from the first moment and it would be the hardest of hearts that wouldn't.
While there are occasional CG moments, the majority of the action is real and in-camera with beautifully directed wire-work and fight sequences. Apparently, the cast spent a year in training and it shows.
I must mention: the whole film looks absolutely stunning and I really have to pay kudos to the director and cinematographer. Probably my top Hong Kong film since Infernal Affairs. I can't say enough good things about it.
Highly recommended!
An absolute masterpiece from Park Chan-Wook. It’s so well made and the performances are superb. Thank you #terracottastore for this fantastic item
I haven't watched,but i believe it's good
Quick delivery time and really well packaged. Will be using Terracotta for all my HK purchases from now on.
top produkt, always fine, every time again
Chinatown kid made me feel like a one-two punch in the face.
The Boxer from Shangtung felt like a one-two punch and an uppercut, which made me hanging in the ropes.
King Boxer? Instant K.O.
Really loved this boxset. The movies are so amazing!
