Where the hell are all the great Asian movies in HD?

[pRot3us]

Seeing as how the Asians invented the new HD formats there don't seem to be many of their classic movies coming out, or even just recent movies that you would expect a HD release to be standard.

A few that are out that I have :
Oldboy
Infernal Affairs
Fearless
Enter the Dragon
Kung Fu Hustle

And about the only two others out that I'll probably get:
Protégé
The Host

Where are :
Kurosawa's movies (ignoring the crap HD DVD release of Ran)
John Woo's classic HK flicks
All Bruce Lee's movies
Seijun Suzuki's classics, in particular Branded to Kill and Tokyo Drifter (although I can't see these coming out anytime soon )

Other random individual releases that would look great in HD ;

Taegukgi (Brotherhood)
A Bittersweet Life
Ong Bak
Sha po lang
Azumi

I could name more as I'm sure many of you could, where are they?

Now there are a lot of classic UK/US movies that I'm waiting for and and I'm expecting to have to wait quite a while, but the Asian market in particular seems to be really dragging its feet.

Does anyone have any news of upcoming releases?

Initial-D is out in US. Getting that!!

Tartan seem to be stepping up their Blu-Ray releases, with Lady Vengeance (incredible film) on the way, so hopefully we'll see more soon.

Sweet, going to order that.

Would love to see boiling point, and any Ghibli flick

I'm sure now things are starting to level out "Format war" wise, we will see an influx of great movies coming our way in HD.

Seven Samurai and Yojimbo would be amazing.

Just noticed it can be had for less than a tenner @ sendit

Looks interesting, I may have to invest myself.

Sweet, cheers for the heads up, glad I hadn't ordered it already

Its a great anime movie, if you've not seen it before, I think you will be pleasantly suprised for an "impulse buy"
