Member AslanBey Posted March 24, 2022 Member Share Posted March 24, 2022 What about "execution in autumn"? Is it a martial arts movie? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's some in there, but mostly drama. Beautiful film though... even in the crappy version I watched it in back in the day. Some of the sets put Shaws to shame if I remember correctly. I'll be picking this up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, I disliked the film so much I forgot I'd actually seen it. Oh well....too late now. I've already pre-ordered. Maybe my tastes have changed between 2020 and now. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member TheFlyingPanda Posted March 24, 2022 Member Share Posted March 24, 2022 Didn't Expect Shaolin Plot on the roster, but im sure this will be the best condition we have ever seen it in. I'm excited 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the version iv seen and whilst the quality was good i really wanted to like this film more than i did. It seemed to grind to a halt in the middle and only picked up towards the end. The main thing i like about this film is chen sings massive ping pong googly eyes (those who saw the film will know what i mean) lol. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Beardys Feather Posted March 24, 2022 Member Share Posted March 24, 2022 Hello friends, Shaolin Plot is a brilliant film! The plot contains intrigue and depth; it's a bit of a heart breaker which is rare in the genre. Plus there are great performances from Chen Sing, Kam Kong, James Tien and Sammo Hung. We're so fortunate to get these releases. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member TheFlyingPanda Posted March 25, 2022 Member Share Posted March 25, 2022 I have to say.. Now that I see what EUREKA! has surpised us with, there is a strong possibility of them giving us When Taekwondo Strikes and The Skyhawk on their roster. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh if they release Skyhawk idk what to do with the Blu i already have lol. But I'll definitely double dip and grab that alone with WTS. Both movies are great TKD/ hapkido flicks! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member wmcguire18 Posted April 3, 2022 Member Share Posted April 3, 2022 I was thinking yesterday how much I would like to see Eureka do THE VALIANT ONES considering they've already done its companion piece, LEE KHAN.

Member thundered mantis Posted April 3, 2022 Member Share Posted April 3, 2022 All the big classical kung Sammo movies have been released or announced, only The Victim remains. Who would have dreamt of only a couple of years ago. With the Shaws steadily covered with Eureka, 88 films, Arrow and Spectrum, and modern actioners also announced, I simply wish some independent films get their limelight also. Hope we all see some gems coming for the fans! 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Asmo Posted April 4, 2022 Moderator Share Posted April 4, 2022 @thundered mantis I've said it before, but The Victim needs a similar release. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, ENTER THE FAT DRAGON needs a proper reconstruction in 1080p of the uncut HK theatrical version, but if WB owns it, that probably ain’t gonna happen any time soon. I’m really glad I got that German mediabook!!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Asmo Posted April 4, 2022 Moderator Share Posted April 4, 2022 Agreed about Enter the Fat Dragon too. If it doesn't happen, well, I'm glad I got that German release myself. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
