Holy smoke! I'll wait for a review before I consider it. Could be a fun disc if the PQ is at least decent.

They could at least have shown it on "FX HD" in HD.

Agreed. I have only seen Sonny Chiba in the Street Fighter movies so this release will show me more of the legend.

Default Delayed?

Deep Discount has 2/18/08 as the release date. Can anyone confirm if this title has been delayed?

Amazon still has Jan 8 as the release date, but I suspect the Deep Discount date is more realistic.
By the way, BCI is also releasing a Blu-ray double feature of Night of the Werewolf/Vengeance of the Zombies on Jan 8 (supposedly). I have both of these titles on the company's previousy released standard DVD, and both are pretty good little Euro-horror flicks, for what it's worth. The DVDs also look pretty good, so I'm wondering if it's worth an upgrade...

I'm curious if they'll really be 1080p as the HD DVD Bob Hope and Bing Crosby flicks on HD DVD are 1080i.

I think all blu-rays are 1080P, I know there was some issue with T3, but I think this will be 1080P.
