Member ShawAngela Posted April 26, 2020 Member Share Posted April 26, 2020 I just took a look on their site and saw that Dragon vs needles of death is included in a double features blu ray, but there is no informations about the language and/or subtitles. Does anyone have any clues about his movie ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Yihetuan Posted April 26, 2020 Author Member Share Posted April 26, 2020 That Drive-In double feature of Loners/Dragon vs Needle of Death blu ray is English dub, no subs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member saltysam Posted April 26, 2020 Member Share Posted April 26, 2020 Yep i've got that blu ray. Think i reviewed it at the time. It's not well regarded but i didn't mind it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confusing him with the Tony Liu from the BL movies. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In retrospect, I should've used his more familiar alias, Tommy Loo Chung that is used in the international promotional materials Now that both so-called "Black Dragon" films have been released on blu ray. Does anyone have any experience with the blu ray release of The Black Dragon's Revenge that was released a few years ago from Film Detective? Is it worth the upgrade over the Code Red dvd? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member DragonClaws Posted April 28, 2020 Member Share Posted April 28, 2020 Glad to see DarkForce continue with some more classic Martial Arts action, in the form of The Black Dragon. I wonder what other other titles they plan to release?. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks to me they are using old Code Red DVD Titles- Needles Of Death, Bruce's Last Battle is coming as a co-feature with Chinese Hercules, Black Dragon. I expect to see Death Promise and Challenge The Dragon released in the future. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Code Red also has Black Drgon's Revenge on their DVD with Black Dragon as was mentioned earlier in the thread. They look really amazing on the DVDs and will look even better on the blus. Code Red also released Fatal Force Four and The Guy From Harlem, maybe those will make it onto one of these releases but the prints Code Red put out look kinda rough it would take a lot of work to restore them. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also my person favorite that they've done the Mafia martial arts mayhem dvd has The Godfather Squad (aka Little Godfather) and Bruce's Last Battle So many prints to work with it seems they will be at this for a while I hope all of these get the HD treatment.

Member venom10463 Posted May 2, 2020 Member Share Posted May 2, 2020 Not sure if I like the opening tagline "It's BIG it's BLACK and it's BACK!" Sounds like a pornographic film from 70s. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have that set and recently rewatched it- All are decent though beat up widescreen anamorphic transfers except for Fists Of The Double K, which is cropped, heavily cut and looks terrible. Bruce's Last Battle is going to be the co-feature with Chinese Hercules on the Dark Force release. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it's English friendly and still available for a reasonable price. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, yes i have this one https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Jen-Ko-Fäusten-Filmart-Limited/dp/B00NG9KRK0/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=jen+ko&qid=1588501495&s=dvd&sr=1-1-catcorr It's uncut,has english dub and mandarin (but no english subs) transfer is a bit weak, faded but fairly decent and widescreen anamorphic. Easily the best version out there of my favourite basher. I'll post some caps later. Edited May 3, 2020 by saltysam 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member saltysam Posted August 30, 2020 Member Share Posted August 30, 2020 Lots of print damage on this one,scratches etc. True HD though. The Leo Fong movie on with it is even worse shape, terrible movie as well. We need Way Of The Black Dragon in a Criterion Collection SE. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
