Click to read full story Rurouni Kenshin 3: The Legend Ends, HONG KONG RELEASE WITH ENGLISH SUBS!
Finally, both Blu-ray and DVD with English subtitles! Pre-orders for February, 26th.
RUROUNI KENSHIN: THE LEGEND ENDS (HK VERSION)
In the cliffhanger-ending of the second movie, Kyoto Inferno, we saw Kenshin Himura reunited with his master who subsequently hides him from bad guy Shishio's henchmen.As is custom in all martial arts movies, our hero needs to learn a final technique, gain insight into his personality and generally level up in order to stand a chance against his opponents. Once we get past the training part, it is time for Kenshin to gather his friends and confront the villains once and for all.
The whole series culminates into one big final showdown, with all the champions on both sides lining up to duel each other to the death. As it was the case with the first two movies, the choreography of these fight scenes is remarkable, especially considering that most of the cast has no martial arts background.Frantic and with some acrobatics thrown in for good measure, the action is quick paced but still easy to follow.
You can finally get your copy with English subs and Cantonese audio on the Hong Kong blu-ray (Region A) or Hong Kong DVD (Region Code 3).
Pre-orders for February, 26th.

Dystopian Sci-Fi with Equilibrium!
If you missed this one, here's your chance to catch up with a hidden gem of dystopian sci-fi movies.
Pre-orders for the release date of April 7th.
EQUILIBRIUM
Equilibrium is set in the post World War III future of 2072, in which emotions are suppressed and art is forbidden. To enforce these harsh sanctions, the totalitarian city state of Libria employs “Grammaton Clerics”, highly trained law enforcers that use “gun kata”, a combination of martial art and firearms.Christian Bale is the high-ranking Cleric John Preston, who unquestioningly follows orders together with his partner Errol Patridge, played by Sean Bean. But as it always happens in sci-fi movies about heroes being on the wrong side, events occur that make Preston doubt the nature of the regime.
If you know your way around dystopian fiction, you will recognize a sort of “best of” classic sources: part 1984, some ideas from Brave New World, a bit of Fahrenheit 461, hints of Metropolis and quite obvious references to Nazi symbolism and architecture (some scenes were shot in actual Third Reich-buildings in Berlin).
The movie may not be reinventing the genre, but it mixes existing features in a way that feels fresh and entertaining. Except that you can probably already guess what happens to Sean Bean.
| Equilibrium [Blu-ray+Digital HD] | US | US$ 14.99 | pre |
