Has there ever been a release of Only the Brave Stands aka Challenge of the Dragon?  Really want to see it.  It has Jin Fu Wan from Kung Fu Massacre and hkmdb says it’s the only other movie he was in.

The only release I'm aware of is the old German VHS but no English at all.

Have you checked out Far East Flix? He's also got some really hard to find films.

I'd rather support a member of this community if I can. Plus @bigrogie has always delivered great customer service & stands by his stuff. Also the favorable Canadian to USD exchange rate is a bonus for me. Of course if you want DVD case artwork & printed discs then you'll have to look elsewhere like the option you mentioned. I have nothing against Far East Flix at all or anything negative to say about them.

It's been several days that I can't access the site to browse it and see what's new there. I tried on Firefox and Chrome and it's the same. I don't know why...

There's also a Spanish version. I thinks there's English subs on it, I'd have to check it.

It's working no. Maybe it was closed for  maintenance.

Browsing some of my favorite actors and actresses, I recently found some new titles in their filmographies.

Does anyone have ever heard or found a movie called The Beacon 1965 , with Chiao Chiao ? (picture from hkmdb)

Question: These films that become rare/obscure and that lack physical releases, is it because of any specific legal issue, or did they just unfortunately get lost in the shuffle and fall through the cracks? I would assume the latter, considering how many hundreds (or thousands) of kung fu movies were produced in the 1970s and how many of them were getting dubbed and distributed internationally. I'm guessing that a few of them would be unlucky and just get forgotten.

Yes, both those reasons. Many films can't be released for legal reasons, many are just lost and many are out there but nobody knows about them and nobody knows who has prints of them.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but it seems to me that I have a French language DVD of it somewhere.
