Looking forward to this - Jimmy Wang is the big draw but there’s not a duff one on the list although Intimate Confessions seems the odd one out because of the more sexual content and I do wonder if that is better off in a more erotic boxset, perhaps opening up room for Return of the Bastard Swordsman, which seems an odd omission as they try to keep series together.
I will wait for the price to drop but there’s talk of this not getting as big a run as the previous two (which did make repeated rounds of the sales).

Kino Lorber is on Film Noir 22 or something. I’m sure these sell decently enough to justify at least one or two more sets.

Shaw Brothers made around 1,000 films so they could be releasing them after I dead.
I’m hoping they continue with themed sets, I’m well up for a horror one, for example.

Yeah, but only if the market demand is there. That’s what I was referring to.

Ah right, it seems like the smaller run is because they made too many of Volume 1 and 2, so they are reducing the numbers. So demand was, apparently, lower than expected initially, rather than it is tailing off - if you bought the first two, then you’ll definitely want this.
