The Postman Fights Back (1982) Blu-ray Review

88 Films have been impressing with the quality of their releases. They realize that film fans love their physical media release, and they go above and beyond to add great bonuses to the release to make them must own Blu-rays.

We have seen such amazing releases as In the line of Duty I-IV, Magnificent Warriors, Taxi Hunter, and Gorgeous just to name a few. Now it is time for another foreign film to receive the Blu-ray treatment. This time it is 1982's The Postman Fights Back.

When courier Ma (Ka-Yan Leung, Mr. Nice Guy) alongside three other mismatched allies, is sent on a mission to deliver a secret cargo to a rebel leader, he soon finds himself on a patriotic quest to save the country and himself. Also starring Chow Yun-Fat (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), this historic Chinese action movie by Ronny Yu (Bride of Chucky, Freddy vs. Jason) from legendary Hong Kong studio Golden Harvest, is sure to pack a powerful punch.

Leung Kar-Yan and Chow Yun-Fat shine in this film. The action sequences are amazing and there are some unforgettable villains in this film. The locations really take you on a ride from the greens to the snow and everything in between. The film is exciting, and it is entertaining!

88 Film have transferred this film to Blu-ray in 1080p and it is presented in 2.39:1 Aspect Ratio From a 2K Scan of the Original 35mm Negative. It Contains both the Hong Kong AND Export Cuts. There are three audio options, the Original Cantonese Mono with English Subtitles, an English 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio and an English Mono with Alternate Score.

This new 2K scan really makes this film look and sound tremendous. The colors are bright and vibrant. The picture is clear and clean. There really are no signs of damage. It is a tremendous looking transfer. But that is not all that this release has going for it, not by a longshot. 88 Films added some cool bonus features. Take a look at what is included.

Admittedly The Postman Fight Back is far from the best Hong Kong feature. You could find better films. But if you enjoy Kung Fu movie you will find a lot to love about this release. To have the option for the English dubbing, of course as you know I love that. It takes this release to a whole other level.

If you love Hing Kong cinema, The Postman Fights Back from 88 Films will be a release you need for your Blu-ray collection. Head over to Amazon and order your copy today.
