While this seems promising as Hong Kong Legends provides, usually, the best selection of extras, their newer post from yesterday proves tragic.
"King of Beggars in April - Menu's Added
Hong Kong Legends have announced the UK Region 2 DVD release of King of Beggars
for 24th April 2006 priced at £16.99. Stephen Chow, the director and
star of Shaolin Soccer and the box office smash Kung Fu Hustle, stars
in this light-hearted, action-packed martial arts comedy based on the
legend of Chinese folk hero Beggar So.
Features include:- Digitally remastered and restored widescreen presentation
- Languages: English DD5.1, Cantonese DD5.1 and Cantonese Mono
- Subtitles: English and Dutch
- Rags To Riches – an interview with director Gordon Chan (20:09mins)
- Beggar's Banquet – interactive Stephen Chow biography
- Trailers
No Bey Logan commentary is listed, suggesting that Bey Logan has jumped ship on Hong Kong Legends. One of the user posts from the site also confirms this rumor. Also, King of Beggars was never filmed in mono (as the movie was made in the 1990's), why is there a need for remixing the 5.1 track? (pictures have been left out due to lack of copyright laws)

Added Review of "The Prodigal Son". Also added links in the links page. Fixed backgrounds on everything. I didn't upload many pictures yet. Credit to "http://loveandbullets.com" for uploading pictures from their DVDs. I will try to review more DVDs later, most likely "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Fist of Fury".
