Member GOLDEN DRAGON YIN-YANG Posted June 28, 2010 Member Share Posted June 28, 2010 I bought Jimmy Wang Yu's Deadly Silver Spear at a kiosk at the Mall of America that sells nothing but king fu movies. This was a rare find. All king fu movie at $15.00 a shot, quite pricey. I had hopes for this film unfortunately it was VERY disappointing. I have seen most of Wang Yu's film and thought this was about the worst one of his I ever saw. Bonzia Media Corporation claims it was digitally restored and mastered. BS it wasn't even full screen and definite print off a VHS all faded etc. Stay away from this one. . GD Y-Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member kaleyboy Posted June 28, 2010 Member Share Posted June 28, 2010 You bought a bootleg from Stiller (pan media); no wonder the quality was bad. I actually quite enjoyed it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Markgway Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Film was average for Wang's 70s output as I recall. He made a lot worse. $15 for a Pan Media boot. Yikes. You were pwned, mate. Those things aren't worth 15 cents. If you can't find a legit edition better download it for free so that Stiller gets jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member BlackLamaFaction Posted June 28, 2010 Member Share Posted June 28, 2010 I Love the opening scene in the dubbed version, where the assassins ask Jimmy Wang Yu "Who are You", when he tells them how dangerous he is and how they should have gotten more money for killing him. Then there's this big dramatic build up with the music as he takes off his hat to reveal himself, then the assassins say, "Well, who are you"? It was one of the funniest examples of bad dubbing I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member thedirtytiger Posted July 3, 2010 Member Share Posted July 3, 2010 There used to be a DVD from Eastern Heroes, the disc wasn't great but probably than them boots. The film itself I actually quite liked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
