   Hrm… what a surprise.

   So they rename the movie; don’t release it in theatres as previously hyped; hype the DVD release up with loads of excellent extras; then cancel all the good stuff? Ur… OK? Like Kevin Smith said: in Hollywood, people fail upwards. By the way, “Challenge of the Masters”? What’s with the f’n 70’s kung fu movie titles?

   Death to the Weinsteins!

   I believe that, with the new company, we have a chance to reinvent our brand in a more positive light, as far as the Asian fan community is concerned. That’s something we’re totally committed to.

   Why sweet talk us with some impressive special features, and then withdraw them? :(

   Good thing the interviews and commentary are still there.

   Btw, can you shed some light on the reason behind the namechange? Killzone sounds f***ing stupid, sorry.

   Why am I not surprise that American companies always screw us over?

   Oh god how retarded can these companies get, and I agree what the hell is up with the name change Killzone sounds like a retarded roller coaster ride, and only makes the movie seem cheap. And with the extras… that’s just lame. Way to take an awesome movie and f*** it up.

    Did Logan leave HK legends to work with the Weinsteins? If so then it’s a damn shame that he did if this is the outcome.

    logan’s taking a bashing over this. fine, it may not be his fault per se, but he’s signed to the company and he seems to have been defending weinstein policies in recent times - wonder how he is feeling, deep down inside, right now? its a complete cock-up : the company names not right, the bad policies of old are not just still in practice theyre postiviely getting the best work-out theyll ever have had, and logan’s sold his reputation (reputation for what, in film or DVD terms, i have no measure of it myself - i don’t listen to commentaries or read much press online) for a bit of cash and now it’s making him and everyone involved in this company look daft, dumb, blind.

    all the positive opporunities that DVD offered (and still offers) are having so much more effort being clamped down upon by companies rather than positively exploited - where’s the online promotion, the careful appropriate marketing, the speedy work, the consideration for the history, the fans and so on?... even basic business practive evades most labels and film companies, the bare bones absolute essential never-to-be-ignored beginners lessons utterly walked past, lost. shocking.

    its not a fanboy issue, its become one because of the reappearance of the same petty mistakes and the inability for us to get past what’s out of our control…

    It wouldn’t surprise me if the cancelled extras have been purposely held back to bulk up a Hi-def release at some point in the future.

    Looks like Grady might’ve spoken too soon...

    As long as the movie itself isn’t fucked with….
