Sonny Chiba's Street Fighter Trilogy Getting the Full-On Remaster Treatment ...

Another Logboy find here ...

The UK's Optimum Releasing has given Sonny Chiba's legendarily violent Street Fighter Trilogy - the first Street Fighter film was the first to ever receive an X rating based on violence alone - a bit of a spiffing up for an upcoming box set release. DVD Beaver has posted a screen shot comparison of the new version with an earlier DVD release here and the difference is pretty stunning. Special features are minimal but in terms of audio-visual quality this will probably be the best these films ever look. Considerate man that he is Logboy's even found a dirt cheap source for these ... twenty five pounds, shipping included, here.

all 3 are uncut : one of them (at least) is by teruo ishii... cool. £18 at play.com for UK buyers, as they only ship within UK you see, and that includes postage. take a regular look at cd-wow.com as theyre a good worldwide-shipping stockist of R3 HK / Korean and R2 UK also... plus R1.

I'm gonna hold off for comparisons to the coming us r1 remasters even though their probably won't be much of a difference except in price.

cd-wow.com have reduced their price to £17.99 from £25... that includes free worldwide postage too... cool.
