Moderator Asmo Posted February 11, 2011 Moderator Share Posted February 11, 2011 It's listed as having 5.1. Uh oh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member John Posted February 11, 2011 Member Share Posted February 11, 2011 AFAIK Taiwan BDs of Japanese films haven't had any major problems. Maybe this is good news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member David Rees Posted February 11, 2011 Author Member Share Posted February 11, 2011 The Taiwan releases of the other Shaw titles were quickly followed by Hong Kong releases so this should be the same. Apparently the trailer for this and New One Armed Swordsman were on the the HK Love Eterne Blu Ray release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member John Posted February 11, 2011 Member Share Posted February 11, 2011 I hope they got the same master as Dragon Dynasty did; One Armed Swordsmen and Return of the One Armed Swordsmen are two of their better looking DVDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member spannick Posted February 12, 2011 Member Share Posted February 12, 2011 I hope they did not get the same master as Dragon Dynasty did; 36th Chamber of Shaolin is one of their worst looking BDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Didn't DD use a different master for their BD edition? Their DVD release looked very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Ronin Posted February 18, 2011 Member Share Posted February 18, 2011 Looks like this is already out in Taiwan: JSDVD Link If anyone gets this, PLEASE let us know how it is. The fact that they only list Dolby Digital 5.1 for the audio tracks is troubling... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member David Rees Posted February 21, 2011 Author Member Share Posted February 21, 2011 The HK DVD is 5.1 only but it is just mono spread across 5 speakers and as far as i can tell no added sound fx. If the Blu ray is the same i will be ok with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member spannick Posted February 21, 2011 Member Share Posted February 21, 2011 actually the HK DVD had VERY minor additions to the surround channels, but nothing one could notice without looking for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 The DD DVD has orignal mono so there's no reason for ANY Blu Ray not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member spannick Posted February 21, 2011 Member Share Posted February 21, 2011 well the French DVD had added Sound Effects in the 2.0 Mandarin Track. You NEVER can be sure with the Celestial Maniacs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member spannick Posted April 13, 2011 Member Share Posted April 13, 2011 wondering too. the Audio is Wide Mono btw, could make out NOTHING new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member spannick Posted May 17, 2011 Member Share Posted May 17, 2011 RETURN OF THE ONE-ARMED SWORDSMAN Taiwan Disc. same Specs as Part 1, no Audio Tampering again. Fortune Star gets much worse with Bluray, Celestial gets much better than before. Shots in this Link here, as this forum does not allow more than 20shots and i don't have time to edit that http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/7nknjcwf4djmlypdjmr43adol980s3pc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Ronin Posted May 17, 2011 Member Share Posted May 17, 2011 Thanks for the screenshots. These both look great. Time to upgrade my DVDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member waywardsage Posted May 18, 2011 Member Share Posted May 18, 2011 Good to see that a shaw is getting the Blu treatment. But I'm afraid i'm not upgrading my DVD to a Blu of One Armed Swordsman. The action in this film pales in comparison to the far cooler, edgier Japanese version in Hideo Gosha's Secret of the Urn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
