Member Iron_Leopard Posted July 23, 2020 Member Share Posted July 23, 2020 The only ones I have are "Moon Warriors", "Butterfly and Sword" and "New Dragon Inn". I dont think any of these have been remastered. The picture quality is just a notch above VHS. The sound is about the same. Are there any films they released on dvd that you really liked? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted July 23, 2020 Member Share Posted July 23, 2020 Always avoided them as much as possible. Most of them were repackaged HK disc, slapped with a Tai Seng sticker and a huge price hike.... scheisters. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah.....Ric Meyers spends half the time whining about why it's not a good movie in a commentary with Frank Djeng who formerly worked in Taiseng. Blah Blah, making some mistakes left and right, calling Donnie a control freak and why it's not a very good Donnie flim.

I have a Tai Seng catalog inside my Moon Wartoors dvd case and theres over a hundred dvds in it. It also says every movie comes with a commentary. That's pretty impressive considering most of these movies I've never even heard of. I wonder if at the time commentaries were rare and that's why they priced the dvds so high. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have, against my better judgement, about ten or so TS releases on my shelf and more that I traded away back in the day.... not a single one had a commentary or any extras to speak of aside from maybe an original trailer and some databank info. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well "Moon Warriors" and "Butterfly and Sword" have commentaries by Ric Meyers. But they both appear to be US releases. My "Dragon Inn" release I think is a Chinese or HK release cause not only does it not have a commentary but it is the only one of three that doesn't have an English dub. I got all three of these at Suncoast back in the day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember from that track Frank Djeng calls him out on something obvious and says “well, of course...” to which Rick responded “what do you mean of course?!” They kept it light, but I thought that was funny. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Ric had asked a question about what language they shot in or something and Frank said “of course they shot in Cantonese”. I don’t remember specific Donnie bashing. It actually wasn’t a bad track, they had a third person on it (forget his name) who was familiar with the original comics and could point out the similarities and big changes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, don’t get me wrong, it would have been better without him, but the other guys bring some actual knowledge to the table. It’s like the Police Story commentaries with Bey Logan and Brett Ratner, you know there’s good stuff there, but you have to wade through the occasional nonsensical comment here and there. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The day someone does, the day flying rats start flying thru the skies. The can't even say Sensei right. He kept saying Sensai in some parts of The Throwdown commentary. Ill take Mike Leeder over Myers anyday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member venom10463 Posted July 24, 2020 Member Share Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) There's a longtime circulating rumor that Ric Myers was the one that convinced Ocean Shores to convert the original aspect ratio on their films to fullscreen.

I'm a bit doubtful on that one, but when he plugged the Martial Arts Theater DVD line he honestly praised the watermark they slapped on screen every 20 minutes and proclaimed that "glorious fullscreen" (exact quote) was the only way to enjoy these classics. What a fucking tard. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted July 24, 2020 Member Share Posted July 24, 2020 And just in case we have new people on here who haven't read Cool Ass Cinema's epic 7 part Ric Meyers piece, then please educate yourselves. It's quite a read, you gotta buckle down for a while, but it is definitely worth it. http://www.coolasscinema.com/2012/03/tao-of-ric-true-lies-fistful-of.html 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member morpheus Posted July 24, 2020 Member Share Posted July 24, 2020 Don't know about most of their dvds, but I remember Tai Seng's Last Hurrah for Chivalry on laser. I really liked the English translation for that and was hoping they would include it on the dvd release; sadly this was not the case. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess it probably has more to do with fullscreen being, not exclusively but generally, the standard practice for home video in the CRT TV era than Ric Myers.
