Hong Kong continues rushing along on to the high definition train and those of us here in North America are the lucky benefactors. Why? Because we're in the same Blu-Ray region as Hong Kong and every Hong Kong release that I've come across so far has included English subtitles.

What's coming next? Ang Lee's Lust, Caution, for one, which means fans will now have the chance to view Tony Leung's naughty bits with a frighteningly high degree of clarity. But if you prefer your action to be more of the punching variety, then may I suggest the upcoming Blu Ray release of SPL (or Sha Po Lang), still one of the best Hong Kong action films of recent years, to my mind. Nummy.
