Thunderbolt is out on a Region 0 disc from Honk Kong (although this has been deleted) and Region 3 from Korea. Both are available from HKFlix.com the Region 0 for £13.50 and the Region 3 for £14.74. The Korean release is Full Screen and 5.1 sound the Honk Kong is Letterboxed with 5.1 and DTS.

Can`t help with your other questions I`m afraid. Im looking forward to The Medallion, the thought of Jackie Chan and Lee Evans together is an awesome prospect. :D

have you seen the trailer for the medallion? affraid it looks like a lot of jackies recent efforts, just to please the westerners.too much cgi and not enough decent choreography. why cant they let him get on with it. i liked the original title for the medallion, the highbinders as that was actually relevant to the film.
have heard he is doing another police story film, but unfortunately hes also doing rush hour 3, oh no, and shanghai dawn.

i like rush hour not just for Jackie but they are very funny films, and 2 had alot better action than the 1st. and same with shangahi noon/knights. very funny films but knights had much better action, and at least he was something to do witht he film making not just a actor so he got a say.
Have they started filming rush hour 3?
i know he is doing around the world in 80 days with steve coogan, which i don think is going to be very good as they are aiming for it to jus be a PG.
By the way does anyone know if my version of Twin Dragons on VHS xould be worth something? becuase it lasts 15 mins longer (100mins in total) compaired to the 12 rated dvd which lasts 85mins. also bizzarely my video is rated PG but is more violent!?! go figure!

i like rush hour and shanghai noon a lot, shanghai is his best hollywood film, partly because of owen wilson. they are different to the sort he made earlier, more polished films that look good. but they do lack what made his name. they are too safe and in rush hour in the scene when he is falling you can spot the wires coming a mile off.
i would rather have a rumble in the bronx or who am i, ok they may not look as good as say rush hour but they are why i like his films so much. i think there is room for both types as long as he doesnt do anymore tuxedo`s and possibly the medallion!
i am still waiting for his much delayed the art of war, in which he has said he wants a million extras for the action scenes and little cgi, but as long as the likes of rush hour make money which is the studio going to make first?
as for 80 days i read richard branson has a cameo, can you guess as what? as does arnie and sly, oh dear, but at least sammo hung pops up, so its not too bad.
