Shaolin VS Lama: Special Edition with 2K transfer?

[Secret Executioner]

Let's see roast chicken, roast duck, dumplings, rice, noodles, vegetable dishes, tea, and fine wine! I am so hungry!!!

As we say over here: bon appétit, monsieur.

[Tosh]

It's a great movie with some of the best acrobatic KF put on screen, I've only watched a pretty bad quality of this, I think there's a widescreen around.

Don't even get me started on food you'll make me drive 30-40 minutes to my dim sum restaurant, Damn why does good food have to be so far?

While the search engine has been working pretty well for me this week, I was unable to find a thread for this movie. Even though I know there must be multiple ones, guess the release would be worthy of its own thread, if it ever happens?.

Click on the link below for more detials, thank you.

Ooh, I'm game!

That would be me, no worries dude!

& yes, I would be completely up for this!  Michael Worth has quite a few aces up his sleeve for 2018, I can reveal that much.

Yeah, thanks to him we have some cool stuff to discuss and look forward to this year.

This is very exciting. Just when you think old school releases have been reduced to a lackluster trickle, something like this comes along. 

[Jay Stone]

I have the wide version that’s floating around, but would still pick this up in an instant!

I'm slowly trying to come back to my kungs after like 7 years of hyatus, and I feel I'm a bit lost on the new scenarios. Seems the scene is about private torrent sites, youtube channels and HD Chinese TV emisions. Very hard to keep track of quality editions for me. I'd be in for this remastered ShvsL. Links are broken. Any news of it?

I think we’ve just been teased by the idea of it so far. It sounds like nothing is set in concrete, unfortunately.

i just hope this project doesn’t fizzle out.

[thundered mantis]

Aww too bad. Hope it finally happens!

It looks like it have done?, though I hope I'm wrong about this.

I'm in the same boat as you my friend. I'm at a loss as well. but it's encouraging that the Chinese are remastering more

Noob here so I know don't know anything about Mr Worth but they shouldn't tease if they can't deliver.  Or did Tarantino buy it.

Welcome to the world of KFM collectors But on a more serious note what happened to this supposed 2k transfer?

[gskmeva]

Someone has this classic on 35mm. Wished it could get a proper release.

Anyway, I was able to grab on Facebook a scan of a rare 35mm print that played at a rare screening in the US a few years back.

Perhaps one day we shall see a bluray release.

[Ninja Sinai]

This is how it would possibly look from the above 35mm scan if the print if ever released.

 

[thundered mantis]

Wow! Hope we all get finally to see it that way! 

[Liersi]

This thread gives me anxiety. The kung fu kid in me loves the movie so much he throws a tantrum everytime the possibility of a proper release comes up and evaporates. Would kickstart harder than the wallet allows.

[gskmeva]

I could be wrong but wasn't SHAOLIN VS LAMA directed Lee Tso Nam?

The fact that Pearl River recently released THE LEG FIGHTERS on bluray using the director's own personal 35mm print of the film could mean that he may have a 35mm print of SHAOLIN VS LAMA in his collection.

I'm sure someone has their contact info.

Still, I don't know the legalities of these films even if you have a 35mm print.

Yes, it was directed by Li Tso-Nan. 

The production company was Tin Ping (H.K.) and I'd imagine they went out of business about 35 years ago! 

I'd buy a subbed, uncut, wide BLU were anyone to release it.

[thundered mantis]

I assume there´s a 35 mm print on a decent shape, ´cause it was screened on Hollywood Theater I guess judging for this link:

https://hollywoodtheatre.org/programs/series/kung-fu-theater/

Any other favourites of mine there: The Victim, Mystery of Chess Boxing, Shaolin vs Wu Tang, 7 Grandmasters, Super Power, Snake Deadly Act, Snake in the Monkey´s Shadow...

 

Maybe we will see them eventually on the RZA online screenings?
