Member ShawAngela Posted March 28, 2018 Member Share Posted March 28, 2018 Just saw this on ebay, and for me it tastes very much like a bootleg from the front cover...It looks like "our good old " bonzai and look alike releases, except that it's mentioned IVL on the back cover... https://www.ebay.fr/itm/Flying-Guillotine-II-2-VG-DVD-Kung-Fu-Special-Limited-Edition-Shaw-Brothers/152962604022?hash=item239d481bf6:g:iP8AAOSwPedakv57 What's your opinion on this, Shaws' fans ?

Member panku Posted March 28, 2018 Member Share Posted March 28, 2018 The original Red Sun of Flying Guillotine 2 was a VHS rip, so this was probably the newer cover when they finally got a remastered version. I am not surprised they slapped the IVL logo on the back since everyone knew that Panmedia / Red Sun / Bonzai / Golden Dragon / Zuo Ci discs are bootlegs, they needed to use more deceptive tactics.

Yep, was about to say the same thing. Another give away is that on the back cover it states "0" subtitles and on the disc itself it states "CC" for closed captioning.

Member Ah_Tao Posted March 28, 2018 Member Share Posted March 28, 2018 Is there a story behind Shaolin Video and Red Sun? I remember buying these from a bunch of malls for a good price years ago because there was no good alternative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's one bloke running all those bootleg labels: Red Sun, Shaolin Video...I think Bonsai was another one. They were basically shitty rips (sometimes VHS) put out for dirt cheap because they probably cost about a dollar to make. There are members on here that know far more than I do about this subject though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member NoKUNGFUforYU Posted March 28, 2018 Member Share Posted March 28, 2018 Too bad that isn't one of the ones being shown on the big screen in the USA this year! Heads roll! Much better movie on the big screen. Hopefully, if all the showings sell out, it will make the next run. All you Europeans and so on need to ask your theaters about getting some of these shown. And not 36th Chamber or 5 Venoms. There is more to the Shaw Library/. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
