Ok, I am officially convinced now I am an addict!! I just got into Chinese Cinema within the last year and Shaw Brother's Films since March of this year. I guess I have become a little obsessive!! :thinking (new fu fan can be obsessed too Kung Fu Bob :rofl:wink !! and don't let me have heard that something is OOP or not supposed to be available in that version, or has a different ending in a certain release!!!! I have all three cuts of the Grandmaster with Tony Leung Chiu Wai!)

Its funny I started with more recent historical Chinese drama's and Wuxia (Yes I like me some wire-fu!!) and then went backwards into the Shaw Brother's!

I was going to organize this list by actor, by year or something but it was so long I'm just posting it!! I have separated it into DVD and digital content. All of these were new not used. And no I'm not rich!! It can be a benefit to not having kids or other vices!! :rofl I have watched most all of these at least once but the Lily Ling Opera films I'm keeping unopened.

I just came off a huge Marvel bender so I had to rebound with something!! (going to a 3D IMAX film can buy quite a few videos instead!!)

Among other Asian cinema, I am trying to get all of Tsui Harks films, Wong Kar Wai's, and films with Donnie Yen :love .

So for my sake don't mention that something is hard to find or mention that there is a complete version of something I may have that is a cut version!!

Incredible list you have there. Seeing how you bought all these new, are you not open to purchasing a used DVD?

You have plans to get any SB films on blu-ray?

I applaud your collection. :clappinghands

I haven't purchased any Shaw's used I haven't had to. I also try to get IVL or other Region 3 disks. I do have some used of my other Kung Fu films. I have a few VCD's I have one Laser Disk ( I don't have a player yet and I am thinking of getting a VCR to be able to get old VHS takes to transfer to disk for hard to get films.) It doesn't have to be new it just has to be quality and complete uncut versions. I also have a huge set of films I have downloaded from YouTube.

I am looking for a good version of Shaolin vs Wu Tang for example and I would take that used. I have two copies that are probably bootlegs and one is cut but has all the scenes, but cut scenes are in the end like extra clips. The other version has the film cut off and the subbs are bad. I try to stick to Subbs that is my only thing.

My Shaw collection seems very small by comparison (I have barely 30 titles, all on DVD). But I've started collecting Shaw movies roughly 2 years ago, andI never fully focused on Shaws, I also collect horror, science-fiction, Alfred Hitchcock, Jackie Chan and independent Kung Fu films. And I'm usually picky when I buy those (several genres of horror or SF don't interest me much, I'm a bit picky on the Hitchcock stuff, I tend to avoid some of the more recent duds from Jackie), but I also sometimes get into other stuff (can be a Western, a war film, old movies - German or Italian usually - or stuff that just catches my attention like The Diary Of Anne Frank or a Coco Chanel biopic). I also spent these last three years tracking every Stanley Kubrick movie on DVD (he only made 13 films so it's easier to get everything than it is with someone like Hitchcock who made 54 films) and his early (pre-Lolita) stuff was a pain to find, but now I got all of them minus Fear And Desire which seems near impossible to get (saw it in the theater when it was re-released though).

Impressive collection, Lady. :whew

Have you considered yesasia for the IVL SAE and BA3 ? They have a lot of nice stuff there when it comes to Shaw - IVL, Taiwanese, US (Image, Dragon Dynasty)... I think I've even seen Thai DVDs.

Hi Secret,

I tried YesAsia for the IVL Swordsman and Enchantress no dice. They do have the Thai version, but I am holding out hope that the Amazon copy eventually arrives.

I got Brave Archer 3 from a seller on eBay (so I may have a second copy coming if the Amazon ever shows up.)

I did purchase 3 IVLs from Yes Asia and asked to be put on the waiting list for The Devil's Mirror. I used them a few times during my Italian cult film days, I appreciate the info!

I left a few off my list... oy. I knew I'd forget some... :tongueout

Here's the list of the Shaw Brothers films I have... and YES, I know I have a problem! :thinking But still... it's better than smoking crack, right?! LOL :rofl They are all physical DVDS, Blu-rays, a few VCDs, and DVD-Rs of the titles released on the Ziieagle Box.

Okay, you win. Holy crap, Bob. Have you seen all of these movies? Also, do you own a ZiiEagle? If so, where did you buy it? Impressive collection.

It sure is! The only thing the movie has more of than sleaze and inaccuracies, is alternate titles! :laugh

Okay, you win. Holy crap, Bob. Have you seen all of these movies? Also, do you own a ZiiEagle? If so, where did you buy it? Impressive collection.

Many of them I've seen multiple times, but there are around 30-40 that I haven't watched yet.

No, I don't own the Ziieagle Box. I have DVD-R copies of a lot of the movies that were on there that hadn't previously been released. Someone cracked the box, and made copies, and I traded for them.

Damn Bob, people think I am weird for having two shelves on a book shelf full of em..

Oh, I promise you- people do think I'm weird! :rofl

Bob's the man. He must have entire warehouses to stock his DVDs. :tongueout

No storage units for me. All my movies are on shelves in my 'Temple of the Dragon Monkey' (my 'man-cave' basement lair). Here's a couple of photos of my Shaw Brothers shelf I took about twelve years ago, right after I moved into my house (hence the mess) and built the shelf. It's crude- nothing fancy- but it serves it's purpose. Soon after it was full though, and I had to add more shelves to it.

I like what your secret lair looks like. I also like the Kaiju figures also, the King Ghdorah one really caught my attention.

My Shaw collection seems very small by comparison (I have barely 30 titles, all on DVD). But I've started collecting Shaw movies roughly 2 years ago, andI never fully focused on Shaws, I also collect horror, science-fiction, Alfred Hitchcock, Jackie Chan and independent Kung Fu films. And I'm usually picky when I buy those (several genres of horror or SF don't interest me much, I'm a bit picky on the Hitchcock stuff, I tend to avoid some of the more recent duds from Jackie), but I also sometimes get into other stuff (can be a Western, a war film, old movies - German or Italian usually - or stuff that just catches my attention like The Diary Of Anne Frank or a Coco Chanel biopic). I also spent these last three years tracking every Stanley Kubrick movie on DVD (he only made 13 films so it's easier to get everything than it is with someone like Hitchcock who made 54 films) and his early (pre-Lolita) stuff was a pain to find, but now I got all of them minus Fear And Desire which seems near impossible to get (saw it in the theater when it was re-released though).

I also have some Hitchcock that I bought on iTunes when it first started up that have the episodes of the TV shows by season.

This film?

Fear and Desire

I downloaded it

Incredible list you have there. Seeing how you bought all these new, are you not open to purchasing a used DVD?

You have plans to get any SB films on blu-ray?

I applaud your collection. :clappinghands

Thanks :smile

Are they on Blue Ray? I never really think of that because I try to get Region 3 versions and always get the English subbed versions, so they aren't remastered Blu-Ray.

I am open to purchasing used and have a few non-Shaws that are used. I'll especially do that if it's rare or I really like it.

Mine has become disgustingly huge over the past month... to say that I am addicted to Shaw is putting it mildly.

Life Gamble (dvd, I wish I had Navarro release)

I am holding out hope I will get the IVL Swordsman and Enchantress and Brave Archer 3 from Amazon, but…

Both Amazon and Ebay are where I have had good luck with IVL versions from certain sellers.

Right now -

Swordsman and Enchantress on Ebay

And what do you mean by the Navarro release of Life Gambler?

Of the sellers above on Amazon who have that version I have bought from all of them.

Do you have a region 3 player? I only buy English subbs so most of mine like that are IVL from Hong Kong or Taiwan

I saw SHAOLIN VS. WU TANG (1983, HK, aka. Shaolin and Wu Tang) above, and wanted to point out that it's not actually a Shaw Brothers production. It's one that I used to have on my SB shelf though, along with a few other titles that feel like they should be SB films... like ONE-ARMED BOXER (1971, HK, aka. The Chinese Professionals). :angel

Here's the list of the Shaw Brothers films I have... and YES, I know I have a problem! :thinking But still... it's better than smoking crack, right?! LOL :rofl They are all physical DVDS, Blu-rays, a few VCDs, and DVD-Rs of the titles released on the Ziieagle Box.

Yes Bob, it is better than crack because you would have OD'd by now!!! I have to give you mad respect!! If Shaw's collection is destroyed they can come to you!! Respect the collection!! zY8Bn1B.gif

So do you have a good copy of Shaolin vs Wu Tang?

That's one impressive collection you have there. My collection seems small compared to yours, but still, I own a lot of really obscure SB films:

DVD:

36th Chamber

Brave Archer

Come Drink With Me

Five Shaolin Masters

Five Venoms

Heroes of the East

Heroic Ones

Kingdom and the Beauty

Love Eterne

Mad Monkey Kung Fu

Martial Club

My Young Auntie

VCD:

Anonymous Heroes

Crazy Shaolin Disciples

Destiny's Champion

Fast Fingers

Fighting Fool

Hero (1997)

Hong Kong Playboys

House of 72 Tenants

Imposter

Love On Delivery

Man of Iron

Mr. Funny Bone

What Price Honesty

Wits of the Brats

This list doesn't include the films I've seen at a theater or films I've seen on Hulu.

Ken which are the harder ones to find? I do have some VCD's but not Shaw movies but I'm open to that format. Nice collection

I am patiently hoping that seller on eBay will still have Swordsman and Enchantress if the copy I ordered from a HK seller on Amazon does not come through in a couple of weeks. I already nabbed Brave Archer 3 and I do not want to triple dip despite how much I love SaE. BA3 was cheap enough to do so, so I bought a copy from eBay.

I have an all region dvd / blu ray player now, so I am buying a lot of IVL / Taiwan dvds.

Navarro were the folks who ran Funimation and just before Funimation released those 15 Shaw dvds, Navarro (as the BCI label) released a version of Life Gamble which had some extras on it, unlike the Funimation version. A seller at Amazon supposively has a very good copy of the BCI but when I asked them to double check they gave me the run around, so I'll roll with my Funimation version.

Anyway... I appreciate folks posting tips but I am going to hang tight and hope the IVL of SaE does show up at my job.

Forgot to mention, I also have Call to Arms and Death Duel on VCD. I still haven't seen both of them yet.

Ken which are the harder ones to find? I do have some VCD's but not Shaw movies but I'm open to that format. Nice collection

Thanks.

I might argue that all of the SB VCD's are hard to find because most of them are sold out or out of print. I buy most of my VCD's from Chinatown. They sadly don't have any classics, so I'll buy the films that aren't very well known for the sake of expanding my collection. But from doing this, I've learned that some of these lesser known movies aren't well-known for a reason: they're crap. So, do your research before buying a movie that you don't know much about (unlike me).

Anyway, here are some of the hard-to-find films that I'd say are worth-buying (excluding the films that you already own):

Anonymous Heroes-lacks plausibility, but quintessential for David Chiang/Ti Lung fans.

Fast Fingers-fun, stupid movie about pickpockets, I've seen this movie at least 10 times though.

Fighting Fool-if you liked Treasure Hunters, you'll like this one slightly less.

Hero

Hong Kong Playboys-for Fu Sheng fans (i.e. me), otherwise, avoid.

House of 72 Tenants

Imposter

Man of Iron

What Price Honesty-excellent film, but if The Heroic Ones turns your stomach, then this movie might give you a heart attack.

If at all possible, don't pay more than $10 for a VCD. I bought all of these movies for about $4.

Happy collecting!
