Member Shawoholic Posted May 19, 2011 Member Share Posted May 19, 2011 I was all excited to now put "shipped" ! But then I saw Shawoholic's preceding post no matter - still great sunday shaws viewing!SPOILER It`s ok to watch, but there is not tension building,ckt is too strong.Wipes out enemies damn easy.There is not really boring moment but I was waiting something great to happen but it never did. Now I see many have waited this movie to be released and those who have not seen it before might have gotten high expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member OldPangYau Posted May 24, 2011 Member Share Posted May 24, 2011 So it DOES exist! Wonder if the blu-ray will ever show up in stores, or if I'll have to wait until Horrorfind this September, when Media Blasters has a merchandise table again. That's the only way I could find the Heroes Two blu-ray! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member nectarsis Posted May 24, 2011 Member Share Posted May 24, 2011 Weird that Amazon only has it listed thru a few 3rd party sellers. Has anyone found this anywhere else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member spannick Posted May 24, 2011 Member Share Posted May 24, 2011 if there will be a Bluray it will be an SD Upscale, as Celestial did not remaster this in HD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member OldPangYau Posted May 24, 2011 Member Share Posted May 24, 2011 if there will be a Bluray it will be an SD Upscale, as Celestial did not remaster this in HD... Really? Huh, maybe that explains the lack of a blu-ray. Eh, oh well. DVD only then. Meanwhile, it'd be nice if they went back to release blu-rays of films from their first wave, but I'm not sure which of them were HD mastered. I know The Master wasn't, which was part of the reason it was a 4x3 release. Is there a list somewhere of the HD mastered films? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member kurtz Posted May 24, 2011 Member Share Posted May 24, 2011 Roguewarrior, I can't quite make it out in the picture - Is there an english dub included or chinese only? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member masterofoneinchpunch Posted May 24, 2011 Member Share Posted May 24, 2011 Is there any problems with playing it? Any skips, bad pauses etc...; This has been a problem with some of the early releases from MB (which of course caused several delays). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member OldPangYau Posted May 25, 2011 Member Share Posted May 25, 2011 Well, that seems easy enough Seriously, at this rate, it'll be 2020 before we see their release of Chinatown Kid Then again, maybe by then, a new print of the proper director's cut (aka, "international cut") can be restored/remastered.

Member Killer Meteor Posted May 25, 2011 Member Share Posted May 25, 2011 Is this new dvd of IRON BODYGUARD anamorphic then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member kurtz Posted May 29, 2011 Member Share Posted May 29, 2011 Hmm I see what you mean Shawoholic ...not very memorable...bit hard going actually..still like Chen kuan tai though.. The English mono was a weird one too - very tinny and at first didn't think it sounded "classic dub" at all but then sort of settled into it being one after all a little way through.. Yes its anamorphic killer meteor and yes it still has that weird pause thing on the tokyo shock logo at the beginning that you have to forward through if thats what you are referring to masterofoneinchpunch. no slip case either...

Member whitesnake Posted June 15, 2011 Member Share Posted June 15, 2011 Here's something relating to The Iron Bodyguard that I found last week in The Chinese Knight Errant by James J.Y. Liu. It's a reference to stories in "Lives of Chivalrous and Altruistic Heroes" (in Chinese, Hsia-yi Ying-hsiung Chuan) by Hsiang K'ai-jan: "Though most of the episodes in the book are concerned with methods of fighting and physical culture rather than chivalry, some characters do display the chivalrous spirit. For instance, Big Sword Wang the Fifth (Ta-tao Wang Wu), a professional armed escort, accompanied an outspoken Imperial Censor who had offended the Empress Dowager on his way to exile, and looked after his family, though the two were not even acquainted. Wang also tried to help T'an Ssu-t'ung, one of the leaders of the Reform Movement of 1898 executed by the Empress Dowager. Later, Wang was mistaken for a Boxer by the Allied forced occupying Peking and shot." In The Iron Bodyguard, Wang Wu was played by Chen Kuan Tai, while Yueh Hua played T'an Ssu-t'ung. Hsiang K'ai-jan also wrote The Burning of the Red Lotus Monastery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
