@sym8, I think that @De Ming Li means the " real "  Big Boss Part II with Lo Lieh.

NO... plain and simple. And I'm not gonna go into details but people should just get over this! He won't part with them. Needless to speculate why but anybody who's dealt with him will have their opinion. Also from the very few clips I've seen these titles would at least to me never qualify as must see, if at all as obscurity. They've only become infamous among collectors because few have actually watched them and there hasn't been any physical release. Sorry if I seem harsh but this has been discussed endlessly and always resulted in a complete waste of time. Eventually as seen with two other movies recently appearing (Shadow Girl & Reckless Cricket) it's only a matter of time for these "rares" to surface. So don't bother until they're out.

The dude from South Africa can go suck so some eggs as far as im concerned.. cant stand that hoarder mentality.. maybe it makes hoarders feel "special"..

Anyway im not too bothered.. I would like to see them.. but if I never get that chance its fine.. as much more to life than watching a dude in a fake scorpion costume fighting kung fu! :laugh

Which films would you like to be "found" then re-mastered/spruced up (with a decent restoration budget)  for Blu Ray/DVD?

Some of my top choices would be (if prints still exist):

SAVAGE KILLERS (TIGER AND CRANE FISTS)

DEALY CHINA DOLL (THE OPIUM TRAIL)

WANG YU KING OF BOXERS (THE SCREAMING TIGER etc)

WITS TO WITS ( FROM CHINA WITH DEATH etc.)

FIST TO FIST (FIST OF THE DOUBLE K)

FIST OF FURY II (COMING SOON?)

CHINATOWN KID (LONG VERSION)

BRUCE LEE-TRUE STORY (BL THE MAN THE MYTH)

Tiger Boy (1966)

A black and white Chang Cheh film featuring Wang Yu, Lo Lieh.  Some say that no print exists, others mention that a copy is in the HK Movie Archives. If it is the latter, I hope these guys understand that MGM, Fox, and Universal had many recordings destroyed by fires.  It may not be by flames. but anything can happen.

I like what Chang Cheh said about it in his memoir. The idea of using arrows to form a ladder was inspired.

Tiger Boy was screened for Toby Russell at the HK Film Archive, so it exists. Magic Ring is also going to be released at some point.

Now to get Cold Blade and Her Vengeance released from Cathay in Wide Screen.
