So, with Catwoman finally out on BD, other classics like Honest and Freddy Got Fingered can't be far behind...

Quick question for those who've seen it: is Fringe any good? I must admit I'm slightly curious about it, bearing in mind that I really liked JJ Abrams' Alias but was never able to get into his other show, Lost.

Fringe is a decent show. Suffers typical mid-season dip but in general it's worth a look. If you can find the first 3 episodes to view somewhere, it'll give you a good idea as to whether you'll like it or not.

Fist of Fury. Is that the Bruce Lee movie?

Indeed, Bruce Lee on Blu-ray. The Big Boss/Fists of Fury looks immaculate. Fist of Fury/The Chinese Connection... well, not so much.

Neither of them have their original Mandarin mono tracks, but neither did the R3 DVDs.

My R1 DVD set has the original Mandarin (and Cantonese) mono tracks but the remixes are horrible. I hope the Blu-rays aren't using those same mixes.

Buying old HK movies on home video is an absolute nightmare :(
