And to all of you that said I was a naive, gullible dreamer for believing that Shout Factory would truly fix this problem... well... I suppose that description of me IS fairly accurate. But still- I was right to believe! Best home release news in ages! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After hearing of this update, I called my local Fry's Electronics, where I purchased my set, and the manager told me I could return mine for an in-store credit, and apply it toward the corrected set. , I will wait until it's near time for the new set release, then return it. This is indeed great news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member HAZ Posted September 8, 2013 Member Share Posted September 8, 2013 Kung Fu films, and especially Shaw Brothers films, are getting harder and harder to screen because of rights issues. That's why the number of Shaw screenings has dried up even though there are a million prints out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member David Rees Posted September 8, 2013 Member Share Posted September 8, 2013 Its great that they are going to do proper HD transfers of the Lee films, its a shame they are not doing the same for the upscaled Jackie Chan blu rays they released....perhaps not enough people complained.

The world could actually be a better place, humanity might be saved, world peace might become a reality if these guys just grow the fuck up and release these to the general public to see, lol... Are they gonna hold these prints forever? What's the point of holding these films to yourself, a million print just collecting dust? It's such a waste, seriously, wtf?

With Chan BD's no amount of complainst would probably help because I don't think Fortune Star has HD prints of them. Bruce Lee films were a different case as they actually do exist in HD form, but Shout received the wrong prints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another message (from Shout! Factory), billy! Looks like it's definitely set for that Oct 22nd target and they're apologetic about it. Also, they observe that the real HD Game of Death doesn't look any better (at least the Japanese print is still on there).
