Member waywardsage Posted July 20, 2017 Member Share Posted July 20, 2017 Its strange that Criterion released A Touch of Zen but didn't announce Dragon Gate Inn. Then Criterion starts selling a poster on their site?!https://www.criterion.com/shop_products/120-dragon-inn-poster What does everyone think?

Member reason108 Posted July 20, 2017 Member Share Posted July 20, 2017 I have been wondering when it would get a release since A Touch of Zen was released. Originally, I was under the impression that they were going to release both movies around the same time. But, it has yet to surface. Maybe soon.

Moderator thekfc Posted July 20, 2017 Moderator Share Posted July 20, 2017 It is listed on the Janus Films site as being restored in 4K. http://www.janusfilms.com/films/1707 Maybe they are waiting for the end of the year to coincide with the film's 50th Anniversary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, that 4K master is the one that Eureka used for their release back in 2015/2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Killer Meteor Posted July 21, 2017 Member Share Posted July 21, 2017 The master needs tweaking. Like many from the Italian based company Ritrovata, it has a weird yellow tint and weak gamma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives me no hope that they will fix Dragon Gate Inn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member silver_emulsion Posted July 28, 2017 Member Share Posted July 28, 2017 The artist who did the cover for Touch of Zen also did one for Dragon Inn, way back before Touch of Zen was announced. They use it as the poster for the theatrical showings. Who knows why they're holding back on the Blu-ray release for so long. I doubt they're tweaking the master, and even if they were it wouldn't take two solid years to color correct. The only thing I can think of is that there's some kind of legality holding it up or something. I have a small dream that they're secretly prepping a King Hu box set that might also include the restored Four Moods and Legend of the Mountain, but I'll be shocked if that's the case.

I want to believe in your dream. That would absolutely be amazing. Legend of the Mountain, Raining on the Mountain and even The Fate of Lee Khan even. But, if they don't release those titles you mentioned, then perhaps Eureka might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
