It's available online at the internet archive if you want to see it before you buy it. It's a beautiful, visually inventive movie. The story is heavy handed propaganda which I don't mind personally.
I haven't seen the other movie by the same director, The Cranes Are Flying, except for a clip of the famous long shot shared on Reddit.
Mel Brooks' style of humor can definitely get corny sometimes. Spaceballs is better depending on how much of a Star Wars fan you are. I think Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles gets the humor mixture better.
I finally received The Fight Back to School boxset last week. I preordered it back in mid-August with Lady Reporter. I also picked up the Wicker Man box, Touch of Evil, and Magic Cop.
Magic Cop is a blast. The ending has great non-stop action and time melts away.
I don't know if I would recommend the Wicker Man boxset. I'm mostly disappointed that the source material for two cuts of the film are in bad shape. The box itself is kind of meh and expensive. The movie is perfect folk horror.
Lady Reporter is okay. The story is a bit of a mess, but action set pieces were fun.
Look up a free program called Handbrake. It converts video files to mkv, mp4, and webM. It also handles subtitles. If you need mpeg only then this person's setup is too old. You can check wikiHow to convert files to mpeg.
I second the recommendation to get a media box or a cheap bluray player that has a usb slot. Burning dvds will be a pain in the ass because you have to manage file sizes, take time to burn the dvds, and you will end up with useless piles of plastic discs when you're done. Sharing one or two usb drives is much easier.
It's a licensing issue from what I've read. Shout Factory already has released it in 4k. MGM has the license to the first one while the rest are by another studio.
Cameraman, Gold Rush, Safety Last, Days of Heaven, McCabe and Mrs Miller
I've been watching silent films and documentaries lately and the rest are 4ks I've been waiting to buy.
Fist of Legend in 4k 😎
I had problems uploading pictures to lemmy.world communities earlier this week. I wonder what's going on.
UK releases

Arrow's The Warriors release for me. I also bought some Radiance box sets, Franco Nero and Dino Risi.
I didn't know they released Nightmare Alley. That pairs nicely with Freaks for a Carny double feature.

They still haven't fixed the Lemmy bug that can't handle "and" in post titles.

I'm excited for The Warriors. Walter Hill is one of my favorite directors. Chucky set looks cool for the fans of the series.
Homevideo and boutiquebluray also cover all HK movies. For only Hong Kong movies, I'm not aware of one.
Thanks for the news. I need to check out Blast of Silence it seems.
