(Universal). Read more here The Rules of the Game (1939) Considered one of the greatest films ever made, Jean Renoir’s "The Rules of the Game" is a scathing critique of corrupt French society cloaked in a comedy of manners in which a weekend at a marquis’s country château lays bare some ugly truths about a group of haut bourgeois acquaintances. The film has had a tumultuous history: it was subjected to cuts after the violent response of the audience at its 1939 premiere, and the original negative was destroyed during World War II; it wasn’t reconstructed until 1959. That version, which has stunned viewers for decades, is presented here. Formats: 4K UHD + Blu-ray with new 4K restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack. One 4K UHD disc of the film and one Blu-ray of the film with special features. Extras: Read more here. (The Criterion Collection). Warriors Two [Limited Edition] (1978 -- Hong Kong) After making his directorial debut with the intense "The Iron-Fisted Monk" and firmly solidifying his worth at Golden Harvest, Sammo Hung would be given more creative control behind the camera. Now able to inject more of his own personality, Hung would bring to life the more upbeat (yet only slightly less violent) Wing Chun cult classic: "Warriors Two." Cashier Hua (Casanova Wong) leads a simple life working for a local bank, the only complications resulting from trying to give life advice to his friend Fat Chun (Hung). When Hua discovers a murderous plot to overthrow the mayor and is left for dead, Chun urges him to protect himself by learning the formidable style of Wing Chun from master Leung Tsan ("Beardy" Leung Kar-Yan). As Hua's skill set grows, his proximity to Leung unknowingly lands him in the crosshairs of the treacherous scoundrels who previously sought to kill him... Predating the Ip Man tetralogy by three decades - as well as Hung's own "The Prodigal Son" (starring Yuen Biao as the younger incarnation of Leung Tsan) by a few years -" Warriors Two" is one of the earliest films to authentically portray the teachings of Wing Chun while also delivering the kind of kinetic and pulse-pounding fights synonymous with the name Sammo Hung. 2K restorations from the original elements by Fortune Star of both the original HK Theatrical Cut and the shorter Export Cut. High Definition (1080p) Blu-ray presentation Formats: Blu-ray. Extras: Commentary on the HK Theatrical Cut by martial arts cinema expert Frank Djeng & actor Bobby Samuels; commentary on the Export Cut by action cinema experts Mike Leeder & Arne Venema; archival documentary "The Way of the Warrior: The Making of Warriors Two," featuring interviews with stars Sammo Hung, Bryan “Beardy” Leung Kar-Yan, Feng Hak-An, Casanova Wong and Wing Chun master Guy Lai; archival interview with Bryan “Beardy” Leung Kar-Yan; original theatrical trailers; double-sided fold-out poster featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Joe Kim; reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Joe Kim; illustrated collector’s booklet featuring new writing by Jonathan Clements and original press materials.
