The only ones I knew of were 1.85 or 1.78 at Best. Damn, this is big news for me. Fearless Dragons there was a wide Arabic subbed print, but it was in very bad shape...

I have DVDs sitting, unopened waiting for me to sit through them. I don't want to do the math of how long it will take to watch all of them. Not that I'm frightened... I hear you brother. My unwatched pile continues to grow. I have over 1000 movies on hard drives I need to burn and watch. It honestly feels I'll never be able to catch up. I occasionally go through my hard drives and delete a few films that I know I'll never watch, bad quality, or upgraded from a higher quality source. Maybe when we retire, we'll have the time to go through our unwatched piles. Edited May 19, 2020 by venom10463 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member morpheus Posted November 3, 2020 Member Share Posted November 3, 2020 Mystery of Chessboxing definitely needs a remaster; practically the same cast from 7 Grandmasters. Dynasty with Tan Tao Liang......which I was informed will be soon. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rest assured I'm onto Heroes of Shaolin, it's going to be a long project and it might take me time to get round to considering the amount of other projects in the back burner but it is getting done and will be done as best as possible. That means a 2K remaster sourced from the original negative scanned by Golden Sun films, with extensive additional colour correction done by myself, an English dubbed soundtrack sourced from the best sounding copy I can find, my own English subtitle translation and Mandarin mono audio transferred from a Chinese tape at a low volume to minimize clipping. Don't expect anything until at least March of next year but hopefully you'll be able to cling onto life until then. I have some concept screenshots from the print I do have with some colour retiming to give you an idea of what I'm doing. It's going to be pretty close to the picture quality of the Celestial Shaws anyway. In the mean time NoKungFuForYu has taken the great liberty of preparing a copy to purchase for download with his own subtitles which will be done very soon I should think, so please support him and get that if you will because he's a good guy and puts a lot of effort into finding this stuff and hours writing his own subs which he puts his own touch into every time he does and he needs your support to keep doing these projects as he is only human like all of us.

After year's of watching Heroes of Shaolin on fuzzy bootleg copy's, it looks fantastic in those screen shots. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jesse Smooth Posted January 2, 2021 Member Share Posted January 2, 2021 I’ll add THE MAGNIFICENT w/Carter Wong (yes, I want to see this widescreen and in English dub); THE GREAT CHASE (Ling app), 7 MEN OF KUNG FU, any Yang Hui Shan gangster movie or Taiwanese female gangster (black movies) of the early 80s - they predate the Girls With Guns genre). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say Showdown at the Cotton Mill is my number 1 because the print we received from Rarescope is one of the best prints in circulation. Just watched it.....the film is great, the transfer is a shame. This film indeed needs remastering, lighting, details, subtitles, the works. I was just fortunate to have viewed the film in its original language. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Django Posted March 25, 2021 Member Share Posted March 25, 2021 Shaolin VS Lama The Hot The Cool The Vicious Snake in a Monkeys Shadow Beach of the War Gods Fistful of Talons On the top of my head, these come to mind. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member TheKungFuRobber Posted March 31, 2021 Member Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) Snake in the Monkey's Shadow will be out eventually. Main issue is still the subtitles because I have all the technical aspects relating to the video presentation in order, although when I do get back to working on the film anyway I will redo a lot of things, but those aspects won't take me forever to do. You just have to understand that I can't release it if I can't have it done properly. I don't want to release it wish shitty dubtitles because good subtitles can improve movies and now that I have access to the Cantonese track it would be nice to make use of it, if I could find a translator who can offer fair rates. On another note. I am working tirelessly on Buddha Assassinator and Secret Rivals, which are both Mandarin movies so Cantonese translation is not anything of a hitch for either of those. It will probably take me a while to get Secret Rivals done, but most of the work more or less is done for Buddha Assassinator. In the mean time, I have done quite a few hours of manual work cleaning up individual wee segments of Secret Rivals, starting with the opening credits. The Soulblade DVD was used as a source which most notably suffers from being littered with gobs of mould and dirt. particularly in the first reel with the opening credits and the final reel, and also had serious haloing artifacts due to poor quality scaling. I am spending time manually cleaning up the film and removing as many instances of damage and color shifts stemming from chemical seperation will be balanced. The cleanup of the credits is nothing super, they don't look great but they never were always quite soft to begin with, compared to the rest of the film. The Soulblade disc has them oversharpened by quite a bit and strange moire patterns all over them. I did the best I could to reduce them. Nothing is impossible, it just takes time. I'll have this done soon yeah Edited March 31, 2021 by TheKungFuRobber 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
