Member Ronin Posted October 23, 2018 Member Share Posted October 23, 2018 Celestial just added some free SB films to their YouTube channel, BUT... they are in Chinese with no English subtitles, are in standard definition (SD) and are only available for a month. There are no martial arts or action films at the moment. The films are: UGLY TYCOON MAN CRAZY THE STUD AND THE NYMPHO NAUGHTY SCANDALS THE FOXY LADIES THE VIRGINS Yikes. Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member panku Posted October 23, 2018 Member Share Posted October 23, 2018 Thanks @Ronin Foxy Ladies has a bit of fighting in it, but without subs probably too hard to follow. I don't think Man Crazy ever came out in any version yet? At least that I know of. The Virgins and Stud and the Nympho aren't martial arts film but were pretty good, without subs though probably not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Chemical Lemon Posted October 24, 2018 Member Share Posted October 24, 2018 I saw these go up last night too, and some additional ones tonight (Story of Taxi Dancers, The Demon Wet Nurse, ... I'm sure some others). I'm trying to make sense of it. Why category III films? Why *mostly* movies that were never released on dvd or vcd. Is this there way of admitting that these will probably never be released in a marketable fashion? never get scanned in hd? maybe just putting them into the ether so the SD scans exist permanently and they can move on and forget them? They can't possibly be gauging interest in these can they? Maybe they intend to make them free for a month and then add these for purchase (I would think at extremely low price). The Foxy Ladies did have a vcd release with english subtitles, so clearly they have subs for that one. It just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. The whole putting it up for a month thing seems like a typical streaming monthly plan thing. maybe they're working up to that.... but again..... I wouldn't expect them to kick anything off with category III films. It's just so bizarre. I'm thrilled though that it seems like there's a chance many of the unreleased movies will at least find some outlet, even if it's SD with no subs. Here's hoping there are some action/martial arts/horror movies on the way and that they are purchasable at some point. Or I could probably get behind a streaming version of the celestial channel if they were going to make that available internationally. Would definitely want english subs or audio options though.

Besides The Virgins (which has now been removed) and the Demon Wet Nurse, which was made in 1991 they are all films directed by Lui Kei. Most of his films are unavailable or only available on VCD or the Ziieagle box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member ShawAngela Posted October 24, 2018 Member Share Posted October 24, 2018 Is it the same Lui Kei who played in Cantonese old movies with Connie Chan and others ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member NoKUNGFUforYU Posted October 24, 2018 Member Share Posted October 24, 2018 Pretty simple. If they get a lot of views, then Celestial gets paid. Maybe the old softcore stuff didn't sell after pressing VCD and DVD's, but may do ok as a youtube. I think the return on views is $2000 for 1,000,000 views. Just put them up and forget it.

Member ShawAngela Posted December 21, 2018 Member Share Posted December 21, 2018 Not a single new title in sight for 2 weeks, now !! I wonder if it is that they don't have any new title that would fit on their channel, or if it is that they stopped because there weren't enough people watching... Does anyone have tried to contact them and know what happens with their offer of watching free movies for just one month ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy has uploaded four movies with Diana Chang Chung Wen, inlcuding Cathay's Calendar girl in excellent quality print, for those who are interested. Titles : Rivals in love ; Wild fantasies ; Blazing charmer (with Shaws' actors Chin Feng and Huang Chung Hsing) and Calendar girl (with Lo Wei and Peter Chen Ho) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShawAngela Posted February 23, 2019 Member Share Posted February 23, 2019 I don't know if any of you has watched the movie Blazing charmer (She stes my heart on fire), but I spotted Ou Wei in it and the end of the movie, playing a waiter who kicks Huang Chung Hsing. Some movies had been added to Ou Wei's filmography on hkmdb recently, but this one isn't mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
