[KUNG FU BOB]

Are my calculations correct that these come out to about $13.00 each?!

Shit, for that price, even without subs or dubs I might be willing to grab THE MAGNIFICENT THREE and SNAKE IN THE MONKEY'S SHADOW to see them in beautiful widescreen prints!

Your right BOB, $13 each. Great price for these wide-screen gems. I'll be ordering some myself. Daggers 8 is my favorite Meng Yuen Man Flick. Can't wait to watch that one in wide-screen.

Thanks for the heads up! I didn't even see this in the DVD or music stores in Okinawa a few years ago, they only had the popular KF flicks by Jackie Chan, Jet Li, etc...

I got a couple this week, and they look pretty good. I mean, they're not cleaned up, they have streaks going through them, but the colours are pretty good. They're all 1.78:1, probably as wide as they went. It would be nice if they could have cleaned up the prints more, but it's better than only having bootleg pan & scan VHS sourced copies. Also, in chinese with removable japanese subs.

The only one I won't bother with is Snake In Monkey's Shadow. From the screen grabs, it looks like pan and scan.

Thanks for the info KFS. I placed an order on a few of these titles. Looking forward to watching Daggers 8 widescreen.

They also have "Two on the road" aKa "Fearless Dragons" in 16:9 widescreen.

[The Dragon]

Thanks for this link OP. I see more than a few titles I'd be interested in..

[Killer Meteor]

I think these might be the 1.66:1 masters used for the old UK VHS tapes.

nah mate most are from negatives or positives(not sure about snake in the monkey shadow) but they are all damaged throughout not sure but maybe it looks like water damage i don't think this type of damage can be fixed possible vault fire some years ago might be the culprit? but those goldig films have been damaged for some time i think since the vengeance release of kung fu mean fists and swords and a tooth for a tooth also mantis fists and tiger claws all have the same consistant damage throughout sourced from 1980's vhs tapes.

vengeance release of kung fu mean fists and swords.

same type of damage in mantis fists and tiger claws.

the same type of damage can be seen with most of jackie chan's lo wei movies(proberbly why sony or some other company never bought them just a guess.)

here is a snippet from magnificent 3(note: i don't think this movie was shot in scope)

i have seen most of those jap releases all have the same consistant damage throughout.
