Then we dive into a deep review of recent Arrow releases of the Shaw library on the terrific Shawscope Vol. 1 & Vol 2. Next, we review the excellent Criterion boxset of "Once Upon a Time In China" and Jeff explains why these films are a must-own for HK cinema fans. Then we discuss the 2022 Blu-ray releases of "8 Diagram Pole Fighter," "Come Drink With Me," and the January 2023 releases of "Dragons Forever" on 4K.
