Regarded as one of Jackie Chan’s most important vehicles, “Project A” was released at a time when Chan was trying to branch out from typical Hong Kong movie fare; having just appeared in “The Cannonball Run,” the superstar was trying to parlay his success into movies that could have worldwide appeal. While not a fully realized piece, the first “Project A” was still a solid hit for Chan and found Jackie directing and starring in a 19th century adventure movie as a young HK Marine Police officer taking on pirates. He’s joined by Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao in the 1983 original, while Chan reprised his role in a bigger, more technically polished 1987 sequel – both movies newly remastered in 88 Films’ THE PROJECT A COLLECTION, a 4K UHD/Blu-Ray box-set that ranks with the most exciting disc releases of the year.

PROJECT A (106/115 mins.) is the more freewheeling of the duo, with Chan mixing up comedy and physical action in a way that feels like a precursor to his ‘80s work thereafter. The movie isn’t totally successful from a tonal perspective with some of the violence carrying more of an edge than the usually more slapstick-oriented Chan films that became popular in the west (though there’s still plenty of laughs on-hand), and some of the camera work feels a little stilted. Nevertheless, Chan, Hung and Baio have ample chemistry with each other and the movie looks absolutely dynamic here in 88’s Dolby Vision HDR (2.39) restoration – the movie offering fine detail, warm color and contrasts.

As you might expect, 88 Films has included two different cuts of the movie: the original 106-minute Hong Kong version most viewers will be familiar with plus an extended Taiwanese edit (115 minutes). Audio is on-hand in both Cantonese or Mandarin, either mono or a remixed Dolby Atmos container (culled from music/effects tracks, and subtitled in English), or an English mono dub. You’ll also find commentaries with HK critics Frank Djeng and FJ DeSanto, both here and in the PROJECT A PART II (107/98 mins.) disc.

Speaking of the sequel, Chan’s 1987 follow-up again finds his hero taking on marauding pirate gangs, though the action is strictly landlocked the second time around and the movie absent both of Jackie’s co-stars from the original (Maggie Cheung is added to the cast instead). There’s also lot of plot – probably too much – in this sequel which is, to its credit, much more polished technically with superior camera work and cinematography. Even if it’s not as enjoyable on balance, fans, naturally, should still eat it up.

“Project A Part II” is offered here in its original 107-minute HK cut or a 98-minute “Export version,” the sort of cut-down, more “Western friendly” version that started popping up in the mid ‘80s when Chan’s popularity began to increase worldwide. Again, the Dolby Vision HDR (2.39) UHD presentation is superb with mono English sound or subtitled Cantonese or Mandarin mono/Atmos mixes included for viewers to choose from.

88 Films’ limited-edition box-set is graced with a beautiful, glossy 100-page booklet featuring archival photos, promo pieces, and insightful essays by Thorsten Boose and Paul Bramhall, who detail the significance of these films in Chan’s career and their respective productions. There’s also an interview with assistant director Roberta Chow, who later appeared in John Landis’ memorable music video for Michael Jackson’s “Black or White.”

The set also includes Blu-Ray discs, six double-sided collectible artcards, fold-out posters for both movies, and loads of goodies on the discs themselves: interviews with Stunt God “Mars”; grandmaster Lee Hoi-san; plus Dick Wei, Yuen Biao, composer Michael Lai, project collector Paul Dre, writer Edward Tang, outtakes, Japanese version endings with easier-to-see outtakes, “The Making of Project A,” a Lunar New Year intro, a 1988 doc on Chan’s stunt team, trailers of all sorts, a full-screen Jackie Chan recording session and more – a fitting tribute for Chan fans and a spectacular release all around.

HOLLYWOOD 90028 Blu-Ray Limited Edition (87 mins., 1974; Grindhouse): A new Limited Edition from Grindhouse Releasing is now shipping, and it’s a fascinating low-budget meditation about a porn movie photographer (Christopher Augustine) who, when not making seedy films for his boss (Dick Glass), heads into the underbelly of Los Angeles where he murders young women. It sounds a bit repellent (and, to some degree, is), yet Christina Hornisher’s movie, while bearing all the hallmarks of an exploitation film, occasionally feels more like a meditation on isolation and the L.A. of the early to mid ’70s, awash in filth and depravity, than a suspense thriller. In some ways it comes off like a West Coast, exploitive riff on Michael Powell’s “Peeping Tom,” with decidedly rougher production values and performances.

“Hollywood 90028” also works on multiple levels, especially as a time-capsulized profile of the city in its day, and Grindhouse’s multi-disc set includes a 4K restoration from the original 35mm camera negative (1.85, mono) in its superb new Blu-Ray. As with Grindhouse’s past releases (including their sublime package of Burt Lancaster’s “The Swimmer”), the set is packed with extras, not the least of which includes Basil Poledouris’ never-before-released original score on CD. This early effort by Basil has been remastered from the original master tapes in 24-bit audio, and it’s an early example of Poledouris’ work on a type of film he seldom dabbled in as well.

The set also includes liner notes on the film, and the score, from Richard Kraft, Jim VanBebber, Marc Heuck, and David Szulkin; outtakes, still galleries, trailers and radio spots; experimental shorts by Hornisher; alternate scenes from the X-rated cut; commentaries by Marc Heuck and Heidi Honeycutt with Shawn Langrick; and interviews featuring Augustine, co-star Jeannette Dilger, Gayle Davis, editor Leon Ortz-Gil, and Tom DeSimone.


 

OCN Fall Releases

OCN’s fall line-up is packed with foreign, indie, and special interest titles for a similarly eclectic variety of viewers. Since there’s so much to choose from, here’s my latest rundown with links and a brief look at what you can find from OCN and its associated partner labels, including a handful of titles from Film Movement.

Film Movement New Releases: THE POETRY OF LEE CHANG-DONG offers a retrospective of four movies from the celebrated South Korean filmmaker. Included here are “Green Fish” (1997), “Peppermint Candy” (1999), “Oasis” (2002) and “Poetry” (2010), all with intros and featurettes. There are also additional outtakes and cast auditions, cast/crew interviews and new 4K restorations (1.85/5.1, 2.0) in the multi-disc Blu-Ray set…FEROCIOUS FUKASAKU is a double-disc Blu-Ray pairing two movies by the Japanese filmmaker: his 1964 triumph “Wolves, Pigs and Men” plus the 1976 action-fueled “Violent Panic: The Big Crash.” New 4K restorations (2.39) grace Film Movement’s package with commentaries by critic Jasper Sharp, a video essay from Patrick Macias, interviews with “Wolves, Pigs and Men”’s co-writer Junya Sato, and a 16-page booklet with notes by Kenji Fujishima included.

A trio of Blu-Rays celebrate the work of German fimmaker Jessica Hausner. New from Film Movement are Hausner’s debut picture LOVELY RITA (80 mins., 2001); the folk-horror HOTEL (77 mins., 2004), which receives a 20th Anniversary remaster from Film Movement; and the 2009 character drama LOURDES (99 mins., 2009). “Hotel” includes a 4K transfer (1.85) with Hausner’s commentary and 5.1/2.0 sound options; “Rita” likewise sports a 4K remaster (1.85, 5.1/2.0) with Hausner’s commentary and her 1995 short “Flora.” Finally, “Lourdes” sports a 1080p (1.85, 5.1/2.0) transfer with Hausner’s short “Inter-View” and a conversation with the director. All three films are presented in French with English subtitles.

Finally, also new from Film Movement are two other foreign releases. Luchino Visconti’s L’INNOCENTE (129 mins., 1976) offers a restored digital transfer (2.35, Italian with English subtitles) of the director’s swan song featuring Giancarlo Giannini, Laura Antonelli and Jennifer O’Neill; while Asia Argento’s SCARLET DIVA (91 mins., 2000) offers a similarly remastered presentation of the actress/filmmaker’s 2000 directorial debut (1.85, Italian with English subs). The former features a video essay on Visconti and a 16-page booklet, while extras on “Scarlet” include both 2002 and 2018 Argento commentaries, an interview, Making Of and more.

New From Umbrella: “Mad Max”’s composer Brian May paid homage to “Raiders” – as did producer-directors John Lamond and Colin Eggleston – with the Aussie adventure SKY PIRATES (88 mins., 1986). This silly affair offers a “Dial of Destiny”-styled plot with an Indy wannabe (John Hargreaves) trying to collect the assorted pieces of a mystical tablet. It’s by-the-numbers but the story feels right in line with the last two Indy adventures and the physical production, as well as the widescreen lensing, goes down a lot smoother than the last fizzled attempt to keep Harrison Ford’s bank account full. Umbrella’s Blu-Ray (2.39, 2.0) looks a bit glossy at times but offers loads of extras, from interviews and commentary to a fun trailer reel of “Indiana Clones.”

Canadian International Pictures New Releases: Larry Kent’s influential Canadian character studies include SWEET SUBSTITUTE (86 mins., 1964), the story of an aspiring teacher (Robert Howay) who’s as fascinated with the opposite sex as he is classroom work…if not more so. An Early Kent work, CIP’s Blu-Ray (1.37 B&W, mono) hails from a 4K scan of the 16mm A/B camera negatives and sports new and archival commentaries, intros and conversations with Kent, material added to the US version (which was titled “Caressed”) and more.

CIP has lined up another Kent feature, WHEN TOMORROW DIES (89 mins., 1965), for release later this month on Blu-Ray. This conclusion to Kent’s “Vancouver Trilogy” followed “Sweet Substitute” and chronicles a housewife who enrolls in a college course when she quickly becomes infatuated with its young professor (Neil Dainard). Also newly restored in 4K by CIP (1.37 B&W, mono), “When Tomorrow Dies” helped firmly establish Kent as an iconoclastic filmmaker in its his native country, and CIP’s Blu sports a new Samm Deighan commentary; archival commentary by professor Peter Rist; new interviews and an intro with Kent; interviews, both newly shot and archival in nature, with Kent and others; and Kent’s 1993 feature “Mothers and Daughters” (93 mins.).

From Yellow Veil Pictures: A HEART OF LOVE (93 mins., 2017), Lukasz Ronduda’s 2017 film, receives a Blu-Ray premiere from Yellow Veil with a director intro and commentary among other goodies (2.35, DTS MA)…An attempted throwback to moody ‘70s thrillers, THE OTHER LAURENS (117 mins., 2023) profiles a private eye’s efforts to track down the killer who took the life of his rich older brother. Claude Schnitz’s film debuts on Blu-Ray (1.66, DTS MA) where it includes commentary and the short “Nothing But Summer” in Yellow Veil’s upcoming release.

Dakanalog New Releases: A warm and winning documentary tribute to everyone’s favorite character actor (or pretty close to it!), THAT GUY DICK MILLER (91 mins., 2014) debuts on Blu-Ray from Dekanalog. This look at Miller’s lengthy career and personal story is lovingly told by director Elijah Drenner and company, with Dekanalog’s Blu-Ray (1.78, 5.1 DTS MS) including commentary, 8mm home movies, outtakes, and a bonus disc featuring the 1978 movie “Starhops” featuring Miller in a key supporting role (of course!)….Walter Saxer’s SEPA: OUR LORD OF MIRACLES (79 mins., 1987) looks at a penal colony of the same name. Unavailable for decades, this 4K restoration of a film from the producer of Herzog’s “Fitzcarraldo” sports two Q&A sessions with the director and an additional interview plus a Herzog introduction (1.33, 5.1 DTS MA).

Factory 25 New Releases: I AM A SEX ADDICT (99 mins., 2005) is a mash-up of documentary and offbeat filmmaking from director Caveh Zahedi. Factory 25’s Blu-Ray includes a 1080p (1.78) transfer, deleted scenes, a 32-page booklet and more…Drew Tobia’s SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY (80 mins., 2013) finds Eleanore Pienta playing an unstable pregnant woman whose pre-birth rituals include luring her family into her mounting paranoia. Black comic satire abounds in this 2013 release, on Blu-Ray (1.85) with deleted scenes, a 20 page booklet, and 2024 cast interviews.

Dark Star New Releases: T BLOCKERS (74 mins., 2023; Darkstar) is set in small-town Australia where an aspiring female director, trying to unearth a long-lost movie, finds herself battling ancient parasites that feast on mankind’s basest instincts. Darkstar’s Blu-Ray (2.35, 5.1) sports an interview with director Alice Maio Mackay, short movies, and more……Zach Clark’s THE BECOMERS (90 mins., 2023) finds two aliens hitting the road as they connect not just with the Earth world they’ve landed on but each other in the process. Offbeat and worth a look for Clark devotees, with Dark Star’s Blu-Ray (2.35, 5.1 DTS MA) including deleted scenes, commentary, isolated score by Fritz Myers, a booklet with Justine Smith’s writing, and the short “Happy Birthday.”

From Utopia: Baolji’s debut film OMEN (91 mins., 2023) receives a special edition from Utopia sporting still galleries and three other short films from the director (1.78, 5.1/2.0)…Ally Pankiw’s USED TO BE FUNNY (108 mins., 2023) stars Rachel Sennott as an aspiring stand-up comedian in the present who flashes back to her past, where she was a nanny to a girl who’s since disappeared. Trailers, a commentary with Pankiw, stills gallery, and essay by Andrew Crump are included in Utopia’s Blu-Ray (1.78, 5.1/2.0).

ETR Media’s A FAT WRECK: THE PUNK-U-MENTARY (88 mins., 2024) relays the story of “Fat Mike” in an offbeat, puppet-laden music documentary. Loads of special features and interviews are included in ETR’s disc (2.39, 5.1)…DEVI DANGER (98 mins., 2024) serves up a near-future tale of a singer who becomes an electronically-enhanced songstress whose voice can be used as a siren’s call to manipulate the masses. ETR Media’s Blu-Ray offers an interview with director Robert McGinley, production stills, trailers, and a director’s preview (5.1, 1080p).

A WOUNDED FAWN (91 mins., 2022) is Travis Stevens’ thriller about a museum curator targeted by her latest date: a serial killer. Shudder’s Blu-Ray features a 1080p (1.78, 5.1 DTS MA) transfer with interviews and Stevens’ short “Coaxial”…Al Warren’s DOGLEG (85 mins., 2024) follows the director as he loses his fiancee’s dog on a pivotal day in the production of his new movie. Short films from Warren, extended scenes and special features are all included on the Blu-Ray (1.85, 5.1 DTS MA)…Giacomo Abbruzzese’s DISCO BOY (91 mins., 2023) debuts on Blu-Ray from Big World Pictures. This well-reviewed 2023 character drama that follows a trio of characters crossing disparate European borders includes a 1080p (1.85) transfer, 5.1 sound, and a theatrical premiere Q&A with the director and cinematographer.

New from Kani Releasing, MY HEART IS THAT ETERNAL ROSE (90 mins., 1989) is Patrick Tam’s Hong Kong thriller presented in a fresh 2K remaster (1.77) with extras including two episodes from the 1976 TV series “C.I.D.” also directed by Tam. Cantonese audio and a bonus Mandarin dub are included plus an interview with John Sham, a separate talk with Simon Yam, and Tam’s interview in the included booklet…Finally, Icarus Films brings viewers THE BATTLE OF CHILE (275 mins., 1975-78), Patricio Guzman’s sprawling three-part look at Chile’s counter-revolution against “peaceful socialism”, restored in a two-disc set alongside Guzman’s earlier documentary “The First Year” (96 mins.) in Icarus’ Blu-Ray.

New From Cinematographe

When independent cinema reached its heights during the 1990s, a new run of gay and particularly lesbian-oriented films popped up at the same time. Not just star-backed vehicles like “My Own Private Idaho” and “Bound” but also quieter, character-driven dramas like Rose Troche’s true “indie” GO FISH (83 mins., 1994, R).

This is a short but – for its time especially – effective little character drama starring Guinevere Turner as a Chicago college student who’s been striking out as she attempts to find love. A quieter older woman (V.S. Brodie) offers Turner’s Max the opportunity at cultivating a genuine relationship, but there are – of course – roadblocks to happiness in Troche’s B&W-shot picture which became an arthouse hit, followed by a successful run on home video.

Cinematographe’s latest limited-edition Blu-Ray offers viewers the chance to reappraise this seminal entry into the “new gay cinema” of the ‘90s. The MGM licensed, director-approved 4K restoration (1.33) sports high detail and the label’s customary top-notch encoding and compression, while insightful extras include a new commentary with Troche and the label’s own Justin LaLiberty; another commentary featuring Elizabeth Purchell and Shayna Maci Warner; new video interviews with Troche, Turner, Brodie, and Anastasia Wilcox; the trailer; and extensive essays in the hardbound, book-styled packaging from Queer Film Guide author Kyle Turner, filmmaker/historian Jenni Olson and critic Jourdain Searles.


Also New & Noteworthy

A QUIET PLACE DAY ONE 4K Ultra HD (99 mins., 2024, PG-13; Paramount): John Krasinski’s apocalyptic sci-fi series switches up the settings and characters — but otherwise retains its predecessors’ narrative structure and dramatic beats — in the serviceable prequel “A Quiet Place: Day One.” The expressive Lupita Nyong’o is perfectly cast here as a hospice patient out for a day trip to New York City when the aliens first arrive — calamity ensues before she and her service cat, along with other survivors (including Joseph Quinn and Dijom Hounsou), attempt to stay alive.

There’s nothing wrong with “Day One” in terms of its performances. Nyong’o’s eyes convey a wide expression of emotions and with so little dialogue on-hand, she makes for an ideal heroine while Quinn, best known as Eddie from “Stranger Things,” is likewise sympathetic as a fellow British survivor, in NYC to attend law school. What there is, though, is a feeling of deja vu that hangs over all of this movie: the set-pieces are standard in their design and execution and by now predictable in their dramatic power (or lack thereof). The sombre arc of the story is expected, the surprises are few, and the film is content to evoke the same feel of the first two movies without adding anything new except for its urban surroundings — yet even there, the movie’s thrifty budget ($67 million) means the shots of a dilapidated New York mostly come off as soft-looking digital gloss.

Paramount’s 4K UHD Steelbook is out this week including a fabulously nuanced Dolby Vision HDR (2.39) transfer and, as you would expect, top-notch Dolby Atmos sound. Extras include deleted/extended scenes and 50 minutes of behind-the-scenes content, plus the Blu-Ray and a Digital HD code.

CHEEKY 4K Ultra HD/Blu-Ray (91 mins., 2000; Cult Epics): Provocateur Tinto Brass spins one of his more upbeat entries into softcore erotica with “Cheeky,” starring the lovely Yuliya Mayarchuk as an Italian girl working in London. As she attempts to bring her boyfriend (Jarno Berardi) along for the ride, Mayarchuk has an affair with a lesbian real estate agent (Francesca Nunzi) before things – naturally – work themselves out in this typical Brass confection, newly remastered here by Cult Epics.

Their 4K UHD offers a fresh new transfer (1.66) from the original negative with HDR10. Extras include a commentary by Eugenio Ercolani and Nathaniel Thompson plus, on the adjoining Blu-Ray disc, Pino Donaggio’s isolated score; a 2000 “Backstage with Tinto Brass” segment; new interview with cinematographer Massimo Di Venanzo; trailers; a slipcase with a 20-page illustrated booklet featuring writing by Ercolani and Domenico Monetti; and a reproduction of four Italian lobby cards.

BROKEN OATH Blu-Ray (102 mins., 1977; Eureka): Hong Kong star Angela Mao was already a worldwide martial arts vet — with credits including “Enter the Dragon” and “Hopkido” under her belt — by the time she made “Broken Oath.” This 1977 Golden Harvest production is tailor-made for its star, and quite reminiscent of Japan’s “Lady Snowblood” movies, as Mao plays an orphan with violent tendencies and a mysterious past. After finding out her father was murdered at the Imperial Court and her mother banished for his crimes, Mao’s “Pure Lotus” heads out for revenge alongside Bruce Leung’s sidekick.

Zesty widescreen genre action abounds in “Broken Oath,” which streets on October 22nd in a terrific new Blu-Ray restoration from Eureka. The Fortune Star-licensed 2.35 transfer is a 2K remaster and includes both the movie’s original theatrical cut plus an extended international version; Mandarin and English dubs (theatrical version only) are included with extras including a commentary by genre authority Frank Djeng (theatrical) with a separate commentary from action movie specialists Mike Leeder and Arne Venema on the longer version. Two featurettes are also included: “Broken Oath: An Appreciation by Andrew Heskins” and “Female Revenge: Scorpion Vs. Katana” with Patrick Macias. For packaging, Eureka has included a limited-edition O-card slipcover and a full color booklet with essays from Gina Marchetti touching upon Mao’s relationship with this film, and Leo Hunt interestingly probing the similarities between “Broken Oath” and the “Lady Snowblood” movies.

CREATURE WITH THE BLUE HAND (74 mins., 1967)/WEB OF THE SPIDER Blu-Ray (110 mins., 1971; Film Masters): British writer Edgar Wallace’s works were translated more into the cinematic realm in Germany than seemingly anywhere else, including the 1967 mystery “Creature With the Blue Hand” featuring Klaus Kinski as an escaped mental patient who may be the killer behind a number of murders. This short but effective thriller features a role apropos to Kinski’s persona – as does its co-feature in Film Masters’ Blu-Ray, WEB OF THE SPIDER, which hails from prolific Italian director Antonio Margheriti and features Kinski playing Edgar Allan Poe. The movie is included here along with “Creature With the Blue Hand”’s recut 1987 American version, THE BLOODY DEAD, which found producer Sam Sherman inserting bonus gore into a movie produced nearly two decades before.

Film Masters’ two-disc Blu-Ray features a 4K scan of both “Creature” and “Spider” (1.66) with extras including an archival commentary on “Bloody Dead” by Sam Sherman; new commentaries on “Creature” and “Spider” by Kim Newman and Stephen Jones; two Ballyhoo documentaries on Edgar Wallace and Kinski’s “Krimis,” respectively; assorted trailers; and extensive booklet notes that include writing from Christopher Stewardson and Nick Clark.

HAROLD AND THE PURPLE CRAYON Blu-Ray (90 mins., 2024, PG; Sony): Not every family movie that comes out these days is a box-office winner, as evidenced by this adaptation of Crockett Johnson’s classic 1955 children’s book. Sadly, this is a weak cinematic “re-conceptualization” of its fanciful story involving a young boy named Harold who lives inside a book; years later he’s able to draw himself into reality, in the form of Zachary Levi, and gets wrapped up in a series of not-so-exciting adventures in David Guion and Michael Handelman’s script (which offers a bit of a “Barbie”-styled premise). Director Carlos Saldanha is an animation vet (whose credits include the genial “Ferdinand”) but he struggles to package this mundane outing into a movie that’s anywhere near as fun as its source material, despite a cast including Zooey Deschanel and Alfred Molina. Sony’s Blu-Ray (1.85, 5.1 DTS MA) includes deleted/extended scenes, featurettes, a sing-along and Digital HD copy.

THE NIGHT AGENT: Season 1 DVD (489 mins., 2023; Sony): Popular Netflix series adapts Matthew Quirk’s novel about a relatively green FBI agent, stationed in the White House basement for “break glass in case of emergency” moments — one of which occurs when his phone actually rings, pressing him into action. Ten episodes of well-paced character action follow in this solid show, on DVD from Sony featuring 16:9 transfers, 5.1 sound, a dozen deleted scenes, commentary on the first episode by executive producer Shawn Ryan, a blooper reel and VFX vignettes.

KILL 4K UHD/Blu-Ray ( 105 mins., 2024, R; Lionsgate): India’s box-office sensation follows a man trying to derail his girlfriend’s arranged marriage when he’s thrust into becoming a hero on a New Dehli-bound train full of passengers terrorized by a gang of thieves and killers. Lots of violence in a hardcore “R” ignites Lionsgate’s great looking, HDR10 presentation (2.39), presented with Dolby Atmos sound in Hindi with English subtitles. Extras include a 45-minute making of and other vignettes, plus a Blu-Ray and Digital HD copy.
