Member Chemical Lemon Posted December 3, 2015 Member Share Posted December 3, 2015 Let me know what you think of Heads for Sale. I had seen it when it was released by IVL, and I'm not sure if it was sub par subtitles or fatigue from years of similar movies, but it wasn't memorable at all. But WOW, when I picked it up and watched it just recently, I had a great time. It's one of my favorite iTunes purchases. It can be a bit on the silly side, but pretty bloody and fun. Here's hoping we get a few similar movies mixed in the next year. I remember really liking Finger of Doom, it's probably not likely to be on the docket anytime soon but maybe with Ivy Ling Po it has some crossover territory appeal.

Member Lady Jin Szu-Yi Posted December 3, 2015 Member Share Posted December 3, 2015 Thanks for the updates here and on your list Chemical Lemon. It looks like the titles you have listed as expected are finally starting to come through. I'm skipping Full Moon... , but may rent Heads for Sale somewhere along the way. My Shaws addiction is still kicking, will be very selective going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Chemical Lemon Posted December 4, 2015 Member Share Posted December 4, 2015 Also noticed that on Youtube they've been adding the trailers for the movies showing up on iTunes. They just added Perils of the Sentimental Swordsman Trailer, so maybe we'll see that tonight too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member reason108 Posted December 4, 2015 Member Share Posted December 4, 2015 Just happened to check the iTunes web site and crapped my pants to see the return of The Brave Archer and Marco Polo; along with Buddha`s Palm. I purchased Brace Archer and Marco Polo. Buddha`s Palm will be one that I pass on. Ok, unleash the rest! I always do my searches with Celestial Pictures. I think it catches everything available.

Member reason108 Posted December 5, 2015 Member Share Posted December 5, 2015 Thanks for the updates, Chemical Lemon. Picked up Brave Archer 2. Also, glad for Lady Jin Szu-Yi that House of Traps is finally back. Cool! I have been buying so many of these Shaws releases lately that my cc company contacted me to make sure that someone else was not using my card. haha. Nope, just me spending money. At least now, my Brave Archer series, in HD, is almost complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member reason108 Posted December 12, 2015 Member Share Posted December 12, 2015 Thanks again for the update. Purchased Brave Archer and His Mate last night after reading that it was available. At least my Brave Archer series is complete now. And, just bought The New One-Armed Swordsman. Question Time - Which Shaws film should I rent or watch next? Here is the list of what I have yet to see (that is available on iTunes). Are there any of these that I might want to avoid? I know that opinions will vary but what is the consensus on fight scenes and story. Thanks for any opinions!

The DuelMonkey Kung Fu (director John Lo Mar)VengeanceThe AssassinValley of the FangsMan of IronThe Tigress of ShaolinLooking forward to reading what you think of The New One Armed Swordsman. Vengance! Definitely. That's a very stripped down, excellent revenge film and the knife fights are insane. You see some of David Chiang's stunt man history in his character's actions too. My favorite Chang Cheh movie for many, many reasons. And the cinematography is great. The Duel is good too, but beware the ending which I enjoy but you might find a bit irritating depending on your laste reason108. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Chemical Lemon Posted December 13, 2015 Member Share Posted December 13, 2015 Cool! Thanks! I will check out Vengeance, then The Duel. I'll second Vengeance, and the Duel is a good companion movie. Of your list of movies the only one I might recommend avoiding is The Tigress of Shaolin, this one suffers really badly from attempted humor and the story just meanders without any real purpose or payoff. Possibly it's funny in it's native language/culture but if so I don't think it translated well. There was enough talent here to have humor and fights, but it constantly feels like they're too busy trying to make it silly and failing at both.

Member reason108 Posted December 14, 2015 Member Share Posted December 14, 2015 I realized that I have The Duel on dvd. I have way too many Shaws. I still need to watch it though. If I like it enough then I will do the upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member reason108 Posted December 19, 2015 Member Share Posted December 19, 2015 Life Gamble purchased The subs are the same on the iTunes version as on the BCI dvd. Just one slight difference is that when some of the characters are introduced, and at the bottom of the screen is their name written in Chinese. On the dvd, each name is translated in the English sub. On iTunes, that is not the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Chemical Lemon Posted December 21, 2015 Member Share Posted December 21, 2015 Sort of off topic, I was updating the "SB on iTunes" list with links to the movies on Youtube when I noticed that Perils of the Sentimental Swordsman was available there even though it isn't on iTunes. Youtube/Google Play is mostly up to date with iTunes now. They probably have a little more than 90% of the movies available on iTunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
