Member NoKUNGFUforYU Posted May 26, 2018 Member Share Posted May 26, 2018 Venoms and 36 chamber, over and over. Better than nothing, but I'd rather see Fu Sheng and Ti Lung. The reality is those two were huge stars compared to the Venom's at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member KenHashibe Posted May 31, 2018 Member Share Posted May 31, 2018 I think I'm gonna be out of town that weekend. The Crippled Avengers/Masked Avengers would've been awesome! Enjoy, guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member wackiechan Posted June 28, 2018 Member Share Posted June 28, 2018 I recently received an e-mail from the American Cinematheque, with some info about this Shaw Bros film series. Part of the info said that The Martial Arts History Museum will have free giveaways, at tonight's opening night double feature. I will be there tonight, to see the Shaw Brothers double feature.

Some of the big highlights: we had a surprise guest appearance on Thursday night by one of Lau Gar Leung's daughters! Wackiechan, please post photos! Crippled Avengers was great (I believe a first time screening in LA). Enthusiastic audience, with some first time Shaw viewers! Even better - Lu Feng may be coming to the Egyptian next month. The theater is also trying to obtain prints of his two favorite Venoms films - Magnificent Ruffians & Two Champions of Shaolin. Check out the site for more details, as I'm sure they will be posted soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also that's excellent news! I'd love to have the chance to see Lu Feng and those films on the big screen. Those are actually two of the Venoms films that I haven't seen yet. I'll be checking their website for updates everyday! I hope to see this come to fruition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I went to the Thu and Saturday screenings. They were good overall. "Five Venoms" wasn't quite as good as I thought it'd be, even though it seems to be such a famous Shaw Bros movie. "Masked Avengers" was just okay. I saw "The 36th Chamber of Shaolin" already, back when it was shown at UCLA's Heroic Grace Series. I liked "T36thCOS" better during this 2nd time of seeing it. "Crippled Avengers" was the best of the four Shaw movies I saw, in this series. Philip Kwok was incredibly good in his fight scenes. I still remember when L.A.'s Z Channel(at around the mid '80s) showed the dubbed version of "C Avngs", called "Mortal Combat"(not the video game movie called "Mortal Kombat"). I think I still have a VHS VCR recording of that Z Channel version. On the Thursday night double feature, there were a bunch of Shaw Bros trailers shown, before "Five Venoms". One or two Wu Tang Clan rap videos were included also.

The photo below shows me(on the left, w/ the Batman t-shirt. Too bad it wasn't one of my two Bruce Lee t-shirts) and her, from the screening. She's a bit cute. Sorry about the fuzziness of the photo. Lu Feng was at last month's Dragonfest convention, in Burbank, CA. He signed my HK imported DVD of "Five Venoms", which was already signed by former Shaw actor Lo Meng. It'd be great if I can somehow have Philip Kwok's autograph on it also. So I'd say I did have a good time at these screenings. It was great to see you there, Shaolin Patriot, at the Saturday dbl feature. I'm sorry for this late post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
