Member waywardsage Posted April 18, 2012 Member Share Posted April 18, 2012 So I was going to put in a big order on amazing for a bunch of the Shaws that I'm missing. I have a few of the Funimation releases left to collect. Mainly the Bastard Swordsman films. Here are the list of what I plan on ordering: Jade Tiger The Sword of Swords The Soul of the Sword Bastard Swordsman Return of the Bastard Swordsman The Lady Hermit Lion vs. Lion Dragon Dynasty vol. 2 collection Thoughts on any of these? Any thoughts on replacing them with better R1 releases? I already have a good collection. But i'm almost done watching all of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen all of those (I own all the R1 Shaw Brothers films) and my favorite two out of that bunch would be Bastard Swordsman and it's sequel. I seriously love those two. But all are worth getting (even Lion vs. Lion in my opinion). Cmon your going to watch them anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta agree on the Bastard Swordsmen...some of the best Shaw fantasy flicks. Not really a bad one in that bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 None of them are "crap" (even Lion vs Lion is tolerable) but make Sword of Swords a priority as it's by far the best film on your list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member vengeanceofhumanlanterns Posted April 19, 2012 Member Share Posted April 19, 2012 Soul Of The Sword would be my first pick. Ku Feng and Ti Lung do a great job in this film. Ku Feng especially. One of Ti Lung's most ruthless roles a well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Eastern Evil Posted April 19, 2012 Member Share Posted April 19, 2012 The Jade Tiger would be my 1st pick of that list - a great movie. All the rest are good as well, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member QueMuchita Posted April 19, 2012 Member Share Posted April 19, 2012 Yeah, I wouldn't say any of them are 'crap', However, I believe you have to watch some of the 'crap' to enjoy the good ones even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After watching Journey of the Doomed, I have now appreciated more every other Shaw Brother film I own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member waywardsage Posted April 19, 2012 Author Member Share Posted April 19, 2012 I've added a ton more. I'm debating on pulling the trigger on a huge DVD haul from Amazon before they go OOP. Decisions, Decisions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
