The only two titles I'm too bothered about are the Spaghetti Westerns, those I will probably wait for on Amazon or HMV. All the other Italian, Slasher and Vault titles I'll happily buy direct from 88 themselves, if they have slip covers of course. Hell I might even be tempted to get Joe Bullet (which has so far failed to interest me at all) if it comes with a slip!

But they were originally coming out at £8.99/£9.99 to begin with.

Most still are. The odd few (notably the indiegogo restored titles) have come out at higher price points and entered the 2 for £25 deal. Also, some have come out at £8.99 / £9.99 stayed at this price for a few weeks and to then rise to £12.99 / £14.99, only for them later to hit the 5 for £30 / 3 for £20 deal.

It had a no-frills, full screen DVD release here in the U.K., yes.

"How is your Friday? Fancy some new #88Asia Forthcoming... Chang Cheh is recognised as perhaps the greatest martial arts director of all time and 1977's THE BRAVE ARCHER provided him with one of his biggest box office successes. Reinventing the kung-fu formula in the era of Bruce Lee knock-offs, this period-set bout of fist-to-fist fighting and swashbuckling action used the hit Cantonese novel The Legend of the Condor Heroes as its basis. With a whimsical sense of 'old China', THE BRAVE ARCHER undoubtedly paved the way for such later wuxia blockbusters as ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA and CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON by weaving a lavish costume-packed story of rival kung fu schools pitting their best fighters against a series of trials and tribulations. Featuring an ensemble cast that includes Alexander Fu Sheng (HEROES SHED NO TEARS) and Ti Lung (A BETTER TOMORROW), the action comes furious and fast, the atmosphere is so strong you can almost taste the Far Eastern fog and the battles are some of the most mesmerising ever produced! Leading to two sequels THE BRAVE ARCHER is one of the standout Shaw Brothers adventures and 88 Films is thrilled to bring this classic to UK shelves in glorious HD, accompanied by a Bey Logan commentary and booklet from Asia-based academic Calum Waddell."

"#88Asia #announcementtwo #werock Hong Kong horror was rarely more atmospheric than 1972's THE BRIDE FROM HELL! The clue is in the title of this seriously sinister ghost story, as a hapless new husband comes to find out that he has become involved in a beautiful young lady who brings new meaning to the term 'out of this world'. Yes, he has become hitched to a spectre - but the plot twists do not stop there, with a horrifying revelation and a quest for revenge soon to turn his life upside down! With a cast that features the timeless screen allure of of Margaret Hsing Hui (THE FIVE BILLION DOLLAR LEGACY), THE BRIDE FROM HELL is finally unleashed in HD from the Oriental terror-loving lunatics at 88 Films!"

"hashtagsurprisefridayannouncement3 The spaghetti western hit a bloody bullet ridden high with the awesome DJANGO KILL! Released in 1967 and directed by Giulio Questi (of the smashing giallo DEATH LAID AN EGG) this brutal quest for revenge and personal satisfaction via a series of splattered corpses was perhaps second only to THE WILD BUNCH in terms of taking the genre in the sixties to a new height of aesthetic experimentation and horror! Starring the late great Tomas Milan (ALMOST HUMAN), 88 Films is thrilled to present DJANGO KILL to our gore hungry audience in a restored and uncut HD edition!"
