Member ThunderScore Posted August 12, 2018 Member Share Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) Started to upload some trailers from Asso Asia, Filmark & IFD among others. Some were just too degraded to upload without some kind of restoration. Here's the first attempt, from a 16mm TV Spot for Trans-Continental's U.S. release of Asso Asia's DRAGON ON FIRE aka THE DRAGON, THE HERO. With the legendary Adolph Ceasar providing the voice over backed by some very familiar music...

Member ThunderScore Posted August 14, 2018 Author Member Share Posted August 14, 2018 (edited) Filmark's MARTIAL MONKS OF SHAOLIN TEMPLE was one of the first Dragon Lee titles that formally introduced me to Wong Cheng Li. Tried to recreate the titles as best I could. Pretty sure that most if not all of the trailers on the Saturn VHS releases were edited down from their original length. Love the overdone reverb on John Culkin's voice over and of course more "familiar" music...

Member ThunderScore Posted August 16, 2018 Author Member Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) 5-PATTERN DRAGON CLAWS is another awesome pairing of Wong Cheng Li and Dragon Lee from Filmark - originally released by Saturn in the US as simply DRAGON CLAWS (not to be confused with another Wong Cheng Li title DRAGON'S CLAWS) with an ugly title card covering up its' more illustrious moniker. Unlike the abbreviated trailer on those old videos, here is a more complete version - Edited November 7, 2018 by ThunderScore 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ThunderScore Posted August 17, 2018 Author Member Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) Filmark's MANTIS UNDER FALCON CLAWS was another Saturn VHS (and later DVD) release re-titled MANTIS VS THE FALCON CLAW via a tacky video generated title card. Sadly, the trailer was once again edited, but at least it has its' original title logo back and is maybe a little easier on the eyes.

Member ThunderScore Posted August 19, 2018 Author Member Share Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) Filmark's DEADLY SHAOLIN LONGFIST aka OFFENSIVE SHAOLIN LONGFIST with Elton Chong and Mike Wong was released in the US by Saturn Productions along with a bunch of other Filmark titles in the 80s. The original trailer, which was edited almost in half, had the DEADLY title onscreen while the voice over says OFFENSIVE...

Member ThunderScore Posted August 21, 2018 Author Member Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) RAGING MASTER'S TIGER CRANE was another familiar Filmark title on video store shelves back in the day, courtesy of Saturn Productions under the title MASTERS OF TIGER CRANE. Here's the abbreviated trailer with the original title restored. The font on the title was pretty bland, so I opted to use the logo Filmark designed for their promotional materials - Edited November 7, 2018 by ThunderScore 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member ThunderScore Posted September 12, 2018 Author Member Share Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) TREASURE OF BRUCE LEE was an early Bruce Le title for me - Maybe not the greatest title to start out with - loaded with out of focus shots, stock footage and "borrowed" music cues, BUT STILL. I RECKON a great cast - Cheung Lik, Chiang Dao, Chen Lau, and in stock footage, Bolo, James Nam and Chen Sing (!)...

Thanks for sharing this clip @ThunderScore, never knew about this Bruce Le cameo?, and I'm guessing it's some kind of cheap horror flick?.
