Member Reel Power Stunts Posted October 24, 2010 Member Share Posted October 24, 2010 The BBC2 Kung Fu Night was scheduled (at least unofficially) to coincide with Hong Kong's Handover to China, about a month later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Karlos Posted October 24, 2010 Moderator Share Posted October 24, 2010 I've seen FOF2 on movies4men before and its your usual bullshit print. I'm wondering, are all their kung fu flicks like this? Any reasonable versions? Or are they all budget, pan and scan dub jobs? The handful of times I've seen MA flicks on there, the quality has always been lousy, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Son Of A Gun Posted October 24, 2010 Member Share Posted October 24, 2010 Wow, the Prodigal Son was aired in 1999 and 2002 on BBC2 and BBC1! How'd I miss that? I saw the 1997 showing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member gwailosforever Posted October 24, 2010 Member Share Posted October 24, 2010 Sadly this site isn't perfect. For example it doesn't list any of the dates for Project A http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/322287?view=transmission and Police Story does not have the 1989 and 1991 broadcast dates listed. http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/250974?view=transmission Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted October 24, 2010 Member Share Posted October 24, 2010 Naked Fist sounds interesting. Does it mean they fight barehanded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member dragonfist Posted October 24, 2010 Member Share Posted October 24, 2010 Naked Fist sounds interesting. Does it mean they fight barehanded? Hopefully its soft porn with the odd roundhouse here and there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member chen lung Posted October 26, 2010 Member Share Posted October 26, 2010 what channel airred OUATIC 4 &5 in the UK? Bravo did a few years ago - both English-dubbed and non-anamorphic 2:35:1 widescreen I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Never watch Bravo or Virgin (Channel One) so it's no loss for me. Apparently the "best" programmes will be incorporated into Sky One and Living TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Son Of A Gun Posted November 6, 2010 Member Share Posted November 6, 2010 Way of the Dragon was on SyFy last night. They used the old Fox Laserdisc version as far as I could tell. Same audio mix anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Fist of Fury is on Friday night. Can't be proper HD if it's from an ancient Fox master. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Son Of A Gun Posted November 6, 2010 Member Share Posted November 6, 2010 I must correct myself. It's not exactly the old Fox version because the final fight scene in the coliseum reverted back to the mandarin soundtrack with Bruce's own war cries. The Fox version had dubbed war cries for the final fight scene. But apart from that, it sounds the same. So seems like SyFy got hold a different print compared to all the previous releases on various formats. Way of the Dragon was anamorphic and looked fairly good, despite very pink skin tones. Yep, fist of fury on friday. Will be watching that just out of interest. I was watching Way of the Dragon mainly to see if I could get a good audio track out of it for my future custom dvd.

Member David Rees Posted November 7, 2010 Member Share Posted November 7, 2010 Mr Nice Guy was the uncut original version. zoomed in to 1-85-1 but good quality. Strange how they never subtitled the Chinese language parts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member sifu iron perm Posted November 12, 2010 Member Share Posted November 12, 2010 Fists of Fury aka Chinese Connection tonight. Cant wait. My family and I all watched The way of the dragon and they enjoyed it, don't think they watched a full bruce lee movie before (other than enter the dragon). Basically they appreciated Bruce even more which is nice touch.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member JCfan Posted November 22, 2010 Member Share Posted November 22, 2010 I'm still in shock that Legend of Drunken Master is being shown on UK TV when it has never EVER been released on video and DVD at all over the past 16 years. I asked Bey Logan about it and he said that Dimension Films do not own the rights to the UK distribution Warner does. The same goes for Jackie Chan's Thunderbolt that's never been released in the UK on video and DVD yet it's been shown on BBC 2 and Film 4.

Member ShaOW!linDude Posted November 22, 2010 Member Share Posted November 22, 2010 In regards to "Thunderbolt", I have the Taiwan edition dvd. It's coded all region NTSC. Would that not work in the UK? I'm not sure what 'region' the UK is. If it's 2, there's also French (PAL), German (PAL), and Japanese (NTSC) editions coded for that. You guys are pretty swift. Ya'll have probably already investigated all of that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Reel Power Stunts Posted November 22, 2010 Member Share Posted November 22, 2010 I think the point being made was that there are Jackie/HK films licensed for UK broadcast which haven't received a UK DVD release. DVD releases of "Thunderbolt" aren't hard to come by - I have a Spanish disk, Region 2, PAL, 16:9 with Cantonese audio and English subs.

Member mahan Posted November 23, 2010 Member Share Posted November 23, 2010 I know it's not really Kung Fu, but I just watched Commando on Channel 4! Awesome film (in it's own way). Great quotes. Although did anyone notice a scene at the beginning where he's showing his daughter some kind of martial art? I swear she's doing it better than him! (Better than Hard Target on the other channel! Can't really take JCVD's karate seriously since I actually learn a martial art! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
