Guest VonHumboldtFleischer Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 A couple of days ago I happened to notice in the paper that SBS were showing a movie late at night called ISLAND WARRIORS. Because there's a crazy Wong Tao fantasy-adventure movie of the same name, I set my DVD recorder to record it just out of curiosity, although I didn't honestly think it would be that movie. When I finally got round to checking the disc the next evening, here's what I saw: Holy mackerel! It's the Wong Tao movie. Now, this isn't super-rare or anything, but SBS showed it letterboxed, in Mandarin with English subs, and - judging by the castration scene - totally uncut! Anyway, I converted it from hard-matted 4:3 to widescreen-friendly 16:9, edited out the commercials, cooked up a little menu for it and authored it as a DVD. Schweet!

Guest VonHumboldtFleischer Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Well, I burned it to DVD and checked it on my ordinary TV and my little 16:9 portable player and it all looks groovy. I'll be happy to trade it out, but if you people who've requested it could give me a couple of days to finish three biggish trades, I'll get back to you.

Guest VonHumboldtFleischer Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Whoa there. What about NINJA THUNDERBOLT? And ALONG CAME A TIGER is a crushing bore too. I can't think of a single thing it has in common with ZARDOZ, other than the fact that you don't like either of those movies. The only movie I can think of to compare ISLAND WARRIORS to is Roger Corman's VIKING WOMEN VS. THE SEA SERPENT. And that's not a very apt comparison, either.

Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted February 13, 2017 Moderator Share Posted February 13, 2017 @ThunderScore - It may just be my shallow mind, but those images have me sold. I can't see anything not to like in this movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member DragonClaws Posted February 13, 2017 Member Share Posted February 13, 2017 According to the films spiel "Males are vehemently hated, on this paradise, with the few that are allowed, existing purely for the purpose of breeding". I wonder if theres any job vancancies going at the moment?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
