Member peringaten Posted February 8, 2012 Member Share Posted February 8, 2012 How come the print of Two Toothless Tigers I just watched starts with the '80s Shaw Brothers logo (the in-space one, that came after the typically recognised one)? Didn't look like it were just spliced in particularly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Strange. I'm not aware of any Shaw Bros connection. Film was produced by Sammo's own Bojon Films using mostly Golden Harvest personnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member luckystars Posted February 8, 2012 Member Share Posted February 8, 2012 Did that wide/subbed copy ever get leaked out? I've seen clips on youtube but never a full print! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Reel Power Stunts Posted February 8, 2012 Member Share Posted February 8, 2012 I can only guess: a) It's a bootleg where someone thought it would be clever/funny to put the Shaws logo in there ...stranger things have happened Shaws may have distributed the film in some Asian territories, and the copy you have is sourced from one of those countries' prints. I have seen Thai posters for films which definitely weren't produced by Shaws, but the posters bear their logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member peringaten Posted February 10, 2012 Author Member Share Posted February 10, 2012 It was a wide subbed I picked up, guess that's the one you mean LS... I was thinking maybe option B... kind of like this 6 Directions of Boxing I guess?: 2 Tigers made me wonder what with the Wang Lung Wei connection, although obv Sammo/GH crew style, not Shaws general production. So was that the deal they didn't have to make it, but if they got dist rights they could just slap their logo on at exclusion of others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member luckystars Posted February 10, 2012 Member Share Posted February 10, 2012 Cool!! Any idea the source of the print? Would love to get hold of that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
