[Lady Jin Szu-Yi]

SMK, Kung Fu Bob, can we make this thread sticky?

 

CL grateful  for the tireless work you've done with Celestial's SB iTunes releases. This is fantastic.  

[massa_yoda]

This is awesome.  Thank you for doing this.

[panku]

Very nice guide, thanks for sharing your research.

[Chemical Lemon]

You're welcome, I hope it comes in handy.  I'm a big fan of this new board, it handles spreadsheets pretty nicely.  I tried this once on the old board but it was a pain to do much more than just a list with no details.  The original spreadsheet has a lot of info comparing the releases on other digital distribution platforms, I had to remove most of that info because it didn't fit, but I may try adding links to the movies on Youtube/GooglePlay/Hulu/Netflix.

[reason108]

The Weird Man and Brave Archer 3 are back! I wonder if we lost anything? Sticky this and perhaps merge the 2 threads together.

[Chemical Lemon]

updated the list

 

Added Full Moon Scimitar, added Notes and Youtube link, Noted that 36th Chamber is currently missing from iTunes, added price comparison, added movie counts

Can't wait to see House of Traps  as available on that list. That's now one of my favorite Venoms films.  Thanks for the updates.

This might be odd. Perhaps I am imagining things. But, when I signed on and purchased Brave Archer 2, 36th Chamber of Shaolin was back on there. After the movie downloaded, I minimized the page. Here I am a couple of hours later, looking back at iTunes screen and the movie is not on there now. However, the movies listed are in a slightly different order than they were earlier. I am not sure when they update what is available, but, this is not the first time that I have seen movies added or deleted within the span of an few hours. I know they have to do it at some point but it seems that it happens overnight a lot. 

[Lady Jin Szu-Yi]

With how wonky iTunes have been with these Shaws, I'll believe it, reason.  I hope they put 36 Chambers back up too.

 

Very happy they've kept their promise of issuing most of those films and more. Looking forward to what they release in  2016 (I know what two I will keep pining for...)

[Chemical Lemon]

updated the list

 

Added Brave Archer and His Mate

[Lady Jin Szu-Yi]

Yes, came across that on iTunes. So Perils of the Sentimental Swordsman is the only promised title left. I wonder if they'll add something else we weren't expecting too.

 

Thanks for constantly updating this Chemical Lemon. 

[reason108]

Thanks for the update regarding Brave Archer and his Mate. Now my iTunes Brave Archer series is complete! Sure hope that they put back Perils of the Sentimental Swordsman. Plus, they need to get some new titles too. 

[Chemical Lemon]

added Invincible Enforcer

 

 

I also recently sent a message to Celestial mentioning that Perils of the Sentimental Swordsman is up on Youtube/GooglePlay and asked if it will be coming to iTunes soon.  Also mentioned that The 36th Chamber of Shaolin has been missing for about a month.  I don't expect to get a reply, but usually if you nudge them on something they either realize that there is an issue, or prioritize doing something about it, so hopefully that helps.

 

I barely remember Invincible Enforcer, I don't think I was super into it, but I do really like Liu Yung, and I'm into the 70's crime movies so I'm going to give this one another try with the english dub.  Now that they're releasing more Wuxia, and a slightly wider set of genres I'm hoping we'll see more Liu Yung and Yueh Wah.  When the dvds were being released it seemed like there were an endless array of movies featuring these two.  Liu Yung always seemed to be in a lot of seedier action movies too.  Didn't he have to flee Taiwan at some point for cutting up his wife's face?  Did I make that up?  Or possibly confuse him with someone else?

 

edit:  I take back what I said about this one, I'm about 5 minutes in and I can already tell I'm going to love it. It is seedy and icky, like a lot of their crime films. Not sure why I never rewatched this one, possibly just too much SB at the time.

Thanks for the updates Chemical Lemon,  and too, for nudging Celestial about Perils and 36th chamber.

 

Is there an email address for them? I'm not on social media,  but I would be happy to join in the polite nudging.

I always just use Facebook, I'm not sure what the best email address is for contacting them about releases. They did get back to me very quickly, but just said that they should be coming to iTunes and mentioned that they've been having issues with the production/delivery house they're using.

Hmmm... that's interesting and not the first time you've mentioned something like that - problems with the production / delivery house. 

 

Thanks for the updates, as always, Chemical Lemon.
