Only thing I've seen is it's still available for preorder on Diabolik https://www.diabolikdvd.com/product/seven-percent-solution-88-films-uk-blu-ray-region-b-preorder/

And HMV and Amazon say the release is early October for some reason https://store.hmv.com/store/film-tv/blu-ray/the-seven-per-cent-solution https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09YRJFJ9Y/?tag=hidefnin-21 Not sure if it was a quiet delay. Amazon at least lists the special features now unlike the others, so that's something

it’s up now for preorder on 88’s store

not only does unobstructed view have probably the worst shipping i have ever experienced, their customer service is nonexistent. i had an order pending for months that never shipped and cancelling took another month or so before they even bothered replying to my email

i would rather order directly from criterion etc and eat the shipping cost + duty instead of ever dealing with them again

at some point late last year 88 films announced a miami vice 4k release for 2023 but i think there has been no news since

I was just thinking about this. I looked up some Kitano movies I used to love that really need an upgrade and most of them never even made it to blu ray.

the bandai japanese releases of all kitano’s films have english subtitles included even if it may not be obvious in the product details

you can find them all on amazon japan among other places:

i have a few and i remember the subtitles seemed pretty decent on the ones i watched

I really like the series a lot, so I'd say it's worth checking out the first one to see if you like it. The plot is weirdly busy and has a lot of stuff you need to remember, but they get easier to watch as you go.

I have them all through Arrow but I think most of them might be out of print. If you haven't already seen them, I'd recommend checking out pretty much any 70's Japanese movies Arrow has put out though.

maybe it is a region thing, arrow uk still has all the individual releases as well as the boxset available:

https://www.arrowfilms.com/battles-without-honor-and-humanity-the-complete-collection-blu-ray/13167090.html

the boxset is pretty regularly on sale, i got it during the summer sale this year for £30

the product details say region B, but i suspect they are the exact same discs as the region A release, i played them in my region A player without any problem

Also my copy of Michael Mann's Miami Vice with the DC arrived earlier today.

i assume you mean the theatrical cut, the director’s cut is not really notable as it was the only version available until the newest releases

That's amazing news! I'll have to snag that for sure. Is it only region B? More excuse for me to get a region-free player.

i have a region b player i barely use these days, there are lots of region bypass tricks for various players
most of the time on my region a panasonic ub-820 i can just press stop, top menu at the region lockout screen and it will work no problem

i think this has worked on every eureka disc i have tried so far
