Member blue_skies Posted July 15, 2013 Member Share Posted July 15, 2013 it's taken a while to even find how to browse the titles. I searched for some relatively well-known Shaw brother movies like Avenging Eagle, 36th chamber of Shaolin, Heroes of the East, five deadly venoms, return of the five deadly venoms etc and kept striking out looking under "action and adventure". However I then found Return to the 36th Chamber and from that page the 36th chamber of Shaolin. Anyway there's no information other than actor , director , producer and plot summary. All I can tell you is it costs £4.99 , no language information, widescreen, subtitles or anything. edit: Perhaps someone more knowledgeable can search more effectively the only other thing I could find was this https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/shaw-movies-soundtrack-compilation/id157248678 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Asmo Posted July 16, 2013 Moderator Share Posted July 16, 2013 Found 36th Chamber on iTunes AU, says the file's HD. Cantonese, English subs. 3.49 gb for 720p, just a bit higher for 1080p. $14.99 They have Return there too, tried looking for other titles but it's not very well organised. Will try again later.

I hate it when I`m right. I knew they were going to charge full price for a HD version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These files could easily fit on a DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in Australia, so those may be decent prices. I'm sure they use better compression methods but surely the quality is not all that. These files could easily fit on a DVD. Yeah, true. I've never really used iTunes so I don't know how their files compared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member bobo Posted August 12, 2013 Author Member Share Posted August 12, 2013 so have any other shaws shown up yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member kevenz Posted August 15, 2013 Member Share Posted August 15, 2013 ^^ I'm not even sure if they actually started becoming available here in usa/canada. if anyone can post link for each ones. Searching for "shaolin" in the search box only bring 3 titles, Shaolin vs Evil Dead, Man from Shaolin and Shaolin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member actionfan Posted August 27, 2013 Member Share Posted August 27, 2013 https://www.facebook.com/#!/CelestialSBFilm They've been updating Facebook/Twitter fairly often, including recent updates on new countries. Nothing for the U.S. yet, though they've said they hope to open it to us by the end of 2013. They've never said anything about trying to have them in there by the end of July, at least that I've seen, so I don't consider this process as having been delayed yet. Unless... you think this should have all happened 5 years ago haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member waywardsage Posted October 14, 2013 Member Share Posted October 14, 2013 Wow, I'm sorta shocked at the lack of excitement for this! Shaw's on iTunes are pretty much our last hope to see any of the unreleased films. I for one will buy quite a few once I have the cash. $8 for an HD version of these films is great. Why all the hate?

Member waywardsage Posted October 19, 2013 Member Share Posted October 19, 2013 I believe there are at least 10. A few have never seen a R1 release too. For some reason, Celestial has seemed to have dropped the ball entirely on this announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Jinha Posted October 20, 2013 Member Share Posted October 20, 2013 they have shaw brothers on USA iTunes. prices i have seen so far are 7.99 for hd purchases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Chemical Lemon Posted October 20, 2013 Member Share Posted October 20, 2013 I haven't seen any unreleased shaws on US itunes, but it's difficult to say what's there without searching for each title individually. They have a site now that lists the movies available on iTunes. It's an incomplete list. These are the 23 celestial movies I've seen on US iTunes Heroes of the East 36th Chamber* Return to the 36th Chamber* Disciples of the 36th Chamber Executioners of Shaolin Martial Arts of Shaolin Vengeance The Savage 5 Five Shaolin Masters Shaolin Martial Arts Disciples of Shaolin The New Shaolin Boxers Heroes Two Invincible Shaolin The Flying Guillotine The Avenging Eagle Shaolin Prince King Boxer Come Drink With Me Hero* Out of the Dark* Justice My Foot* Behind the Yellow Line* the starred titles have no english dub, Of the ones I've checked out, "Come Drink With Me" is a new dub, I think it was also on the Dragon Dynasty DVD. I think Heroes Two, Come Drink With Me, and Hero were all added after the others. There may be more out there, these are the ones I've run across though.

Member waywardsage Posted October 20, 2013 Member Share Posted October 20, 2013 A few of these don't have a legit R1 release on DVD/Blu here so far. Not sure why you think they weren't "unreleased." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member RogueWarrior Posted October 20, 2013 Member Share Posted October 20, 2013 I have a feeling he ment not released at all. Not being specific to R1 releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any advantage to getting the Itunes versions, dubbing aside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Chemical Lemon Posted October 21, 2013 Member Share Posted October 21, 2013 Yeah, for unreleased I was referring to the movies on the zii eagle that never got DVD/vcd releases. Was not meant as a correction to anything you said, you clearly specified non region 1 releases. I should have been more specific about what I meant.

Member Chemical Lemon Posted October 21, 2013 Member Share Posted October 21, 2013 Is there any advantage to getting the Itunes versions, dubbing aside? Depends, they're HD but as a general rule not as good as blu ray. I did buy Heroes Two with the intent of comparing it to the blu ray. Haven't had time though (we have a 9 month old ) and honestly my opinion on visual quality doesn't count for much. Most of the SB blus didn't look that sharp to me anyway, so I'm not sure if it makes a big difference. Otherwise the only real advantage would be convenience and price ($8). I doubt they're as good as the German blus but I haven't been able to convince myself to shell out the 50 USD those cost. So it all depends on your price/quality needs. It works for me though, I like the English dubs and have an Apple TV. so being able to stream "The Savage 5" and "Vengeance" to my tv and watch it in English with (what I consider to be) good picture quality is pretty great. What I'm really hoping for are some of those ZiiEagle exclusive movies, I'm not holding my breath though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
