Member mpm74 Posted September 9, 2011 Member Share Posted September 9, 2011 Ah man... this company brings back memories. Used to rent stuff, put out by Rainbow, from Asian Video Stores back in the 80s. Sometimes stuff didn't even have subs! I might be wrong, but didn't this company become Tai Seng?

Member bratty Posted September 9, 2011 Member Share Posted September 9, 2011 Tai Seng just threw stickers on a bunch of their releases and called them their own. Not only Rainbow but all those old Chinatown labels! Pan-Asia, World Video & Supply, etc etc. Anyway, all of those labels released OODLES of stuff. The Rainbow tapes I have are : HOGUS POGUS WHERE'S OFFICER TUBA DEAD AND THE DEADLY, THE MAGNIFICENT BUTCHER, THE ISLAND, THE HAUNTED MADAM, THE FUNNY GHOST MIDDLE MAN 18 BRONZEMEN PRODIGAL SON, THE ASSOCIATION, THE I am working on my VHS tape list !

Moderator Asmo Posted September 10, 2011 Moderator Share Posted September 10, 2011 I'm sure I read somewhere that Rainbow also released Yuen Biao's The Champions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member dionbrother Posted September 10, 2011 Member Share Posted September 10, 2011 I had their complete 1988 catalog at one time. Wish I'd held onto it. They released every major Hong Kong studio release of the 70s and 80s, except for Shaw Bros., where they only released a batch of 1960s films like ONE ARMED SWORDSMAN and MONKEY GOES WEST. Subtitles were never consistent, and most tapes were dead center/cropped transfers, often using worn Chinatown prints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
