And I hope that this time, they'll be able to send outside of the UK !! I'm toooooo impatient to know the titles ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member kevenzz Posted August 4, 2018 Member Share Posted August 4, 2018 I hope it's not Jackie Chan stuff or Bruce Lee stuff…. those have been released on blu ray many times. Sammo Hung stuff on blu ray would be great…. most of his movies aren't on blu ray. Warriors Two, The Prodigal Son, Iron Fisted Monk, Knockabout… etc. Prodigal Son actually got a blu ray release but it's a joke…. I think my Fox dvd looks better than this.

Member RedPhoenix Posted August 4, 2018 Member Share Posted August 4, 2018 If someone gives Shaolin Plot the decent release that it deserves then I'll die a happy man. Someone else mentioned Dragon Tamers, good shout too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShawAngela Posted August 4, 2018 Member Share Posted August 4, 2018 Maybe Angela Mao's movies, or some Chang Yi's movies such as Bandits from Shantung, or Manchu boxer, or Tiger from Northland ? There are so many movies worth to be upgraded ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member saltysam Posted August 4, 2018 Author Member Share Posted August 4, 2018 Can see Hand Of Death being one of them,as well as Odd Couple.Probably Man From Hong Kong as well, as that's already got a emastered release in Oz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member reason108 Posted August 7, 2018 Member Share Posted August 7, 2018 I’ve already said this but unless 88 is going to start releasing upscales, then the only titles they have are those on either the 4 or 2k list as seen in the trailers. And, I wouldn’t think that they could infringe on the deal between Eureka and FS. So, either FS has remastered other titles they haven’t announced yet or they will be releasing Eureka’s scraps.

Member Killer Meteor Posted August 9, 2018 Member Share Posted August 9, 2018 The recent re-issue of When Taekwondo Strikes also looks far better then its earlier DVD. Sadly badly remixed, as is Shaolin Plot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying! If 88 were in a hurry to cash in on Eureka’s success, then it’s possible that mistakes could be made. I’m just concerned that since people are beginning to expect true 2 and 4K masters from FS, that they could slip in some “upscales” if they have limited titles remastered. I just don’t believe yet that they have turned over a new leaf. Just odd that FS are just sitting on some more true HD masters without announcing it like they did with the other titles. IDK, but, can’t wait to find out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming the release Kevenzz mentioned is in the 4-DVD set called 'Martial Arts Movie Marathon - Volume 2'. I found a copy and have got it on order now, so I'll know soon. I normally stay well clear of these types of box sets as packaging is cheap and transfers normally very dubious, however, for Shaolin Plot I shall make an exception, especially as many have vouched for the quality of the transfer of this release!

This could be a good thing. With Eureka! releasing the Police Story and Project A films, it might mean we get some rare released films. Wheels on Meals perhaps?

Member saltysam Posted August 17, 2018 Author Member Share Posted August 17, 2018 Could be Shaolin Wooden Men & Dragon Fist, which are apparently restored in 2k. i'd go for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be my guess. Those old JC titles have been sitting around remastered for a few years now. I am interested in a few of them. But, unless there’s something revolutionary announced, then Eureka will be getting the bulk of my spending money. I just don’t want to see 88 getting the titles that I know Eureka will do a better job at releasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member saltysam Posted August 18, 2018 Author Member Share Posted August 18, 2018 Considering the crappy releases down the years of the early Jackie Lo Wei movies i'll bite 88's hand off for a simple HD restoration with decent subs. At this point in my life (54) i don't have enough time to watch movies let alone extras, so i'll take what i can get. I've no issues with 88, they are a two man band and do good work imo.
