Member irongut Posted August 22, 2012 Member Share Posted August 22, 2012 Hey all, Painted Faces depicting the 7 little fortunes not the Donnie Yen flick always seems to be quite elusive for me to get a hold of. I guess it's a really rare print. What's everyone's thoughts on the film? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member teako170 Posted August 22, 2012 Member Share Posted August 22, 2012 Anyone got some cover art for this flick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator KUNG FU BOB Posted August 22, 2012 Administrator Share Posted August 22, 2012 No problem Irongut. Anyone got some cover art for this flick? I made a DVD cover for PAINTED FACES using the photos from my laser disc and a little synopsis I wrote. It came out pretty cool. If you want it I can pop it on here soon. We just got a brand new printer/scanner from a friend. I'm pretty busy right now, but as soon as I get a second to hook it up I can upload a whole bunch of covers for everyone. Some are from way back in the days when I'd get color photo copies and ACTUALLY cut and paste- not the digital version of cut and paste. So I warn you all- some are pretty sad looking. But I liked them better than having DVDs on the shelf with NO cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Asmo Posted August 23, 2012 Moderator Share Posted August 23, 2012 I enjoyed watching it. Is there a wide print available that's not from a vhs or vcd? The laserdisc print I saw was full screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was recorded from a TV broadcast of the IVL/Celestial remaster, So it should be out there floating around for people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Son Of A Gun Posted August 23, 2012 Member Share Posted August 23, 2012 Kung Fu Bob, please help us to find this television broadcast version in widescreen!? My knowledge of the film's versions is that the VCDs and LAserdiscs are all cropped/ Pan & scan so the subtitles are cropped off on either side and a nightmare to watch. There was a Tai Seng VHS which was in widescreen. Would like to find a copy of that or this tv broadcast just been brought to light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Son Of A Gun Posted August 23, 2012 Member Share Posted August 23, 2012 Speaking of Painted Faces.... Nanning Gymnasium in Nanning, China, is one of many ruthless training camps across the country to which parents send their children to learn how to be champions.

Member Son Of A Gun Posted August 25, 2012 Member Share Posted August 25, 2012 OK, I was wrong. It seems some VCD releases were in widescreen. Just had to correct my previous statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator KUNG FU BOB Posted August 31, 2012 Administrator Share Posted August 31, 2012 Hey people, here are the PAINTED FACES DVD covers that I promised I'd post. First is my original cover which was made long, long ago by creating color photocopies of my laser disc sleeve and cutting them up and pasting them together. However, once I scanned it and saw how terrible it looked , I re-did it for myself and all of you. Hope you like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jinha Posted August 31, 2012 Member Share Posted August 31, 2012 In my opinion, I like the layout and colors of the original one you made. The new one seems too bright/saturated...also not digging the font. Have you thought about trying to recreate/remaster your original one. I have the laserdisc too so maybe I'll try it myself sometime. Very cool for sharing! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jinha Posted August 31, 2012 Member Share Posted August 31, 2012 I went ahead and tried to clean up your original one up a bit. Used elements from both of your covers and added a little bit on my own. Not bad for a rush job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
