Member Red Lion Posted September 14, 2020 Member Share Posted September 14, 2020 Here is the fantasy scenario: You have won the lottery and with unlimited disposable income you have the ability to hunt the world for rare film reels to remaster for a boxset you are putting together. You have 5 films to put into a delux Blu ray package so the question is, what 5 films do you pick and if you wish to add any specific special features MY PICKS: SHOWDOWN AT THE COTTON MILL (REMASTERED SUBS AND OPTIONAL ENGLISH AND MANDARIN LANGUAGES) BORN INVINCIBLE THE CLUB (CHAN WAI MAN GANGSTER CLASSIC) SPOOKY ENCOUNTERS 2 CHINATOWN KID (LONGER AMERICAN VERSION) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member NoKUNGFUforYU Posted September 23, 2020 Member Share Posted September 23, 2020 Now if you don't want to spend any money, I still have my version of Forbidden Killing up. The subs were made up for laughs, but they sort of follow the story. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Red Lion Posted September 23, 2020 Author Member Share Posted September 23, 2020 thanks for the recommendations @NoKUNGFUforYU. I've had a look at the films you have been working on from the wanted section and whilst I am curbing the films i buy (I truthfully dont have the space or even time to watch much anymore) I do think the work you are doing in making forgotten films like this available for others to enjoy really important. Keep up the good work mate. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, no internet download yet, or showing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member KenHashibe Posted September 27, 2020 Member Share Posted September 27, 2020 1. Burning Ambition (1989) - I know a recently remastered version of this movie exists, but not released with English subtitles. Cantonese/Mandarin versions would be cool. And the film's original trailer as a bonus feature. It's an incredible trailer but I've only been able to see it at the New Beverly Cinema on 35mm; I've never been able to find it online. 2. Daggers 8 (1980) - With Cantonese/Mandarin/English audio options. 3. The Victim (1980) - Cantonese/Mandarin/English with a new subtitle translation since most versions have dubtitles. 4. A Fist Full of Talons (1983) - Extended Chinese version which has scenes not in the International version with Cantonese/Mandarin/English audio options (We never found out where that theme song came from). 5. Mirage (1987) - I would absolutely love to see this remastered, with Cantonese/English audio options and subtitles. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member thundered mantis Posted September 27, 2020 Member Share Posted September 27, 2020 Awesome picks @KenHashibe. Where can that Burning Ambition remastered edition be found? It´s one of my modern action faves. As it´s a fantasy, I´d make not one, but TWO fantasy film boxsets CLASSIC BOXSET The Rebellious Reign Two Toothless Tigers Born Invincible Crystal Fist The Legend of a Fighter MODERN BOXSET Mirage License to Steal Angry Ranger Innocent Interloper Pantyhose Hero 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was shown on one of the Chinese movies channel. I saw the preview for it but forgot/didn't check which channel it was so I didn't get a chance to watch it. I need to start paying more attention to the channels I watch/flip thru. There have been some remastered movies making the rounds on various Chinese movie channels & VODs 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member thundered mantis Posted September 29, 2020 Member Share Posted September 29, 2020 Thank you @thekfc. I'm gonna try find it. The other day I stumbled upon 36 Crazy Fists HD on one of those Chinese sites that you can watch the movies with running adds. But I dunno how that world works. If there are poorer versions of the ones shown on cable channels, how to access to those, etcetera 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinl the first films of his I saw were one armed boxer, Wang Yu: king of boxers and flying guillotine so i would defo be up for a copy of your remastered box set too.

It's very dark, but simultaneously cheesy and fun. It's just super hard to find a physical copy of it anywhere, but it should be on YouTube. There are some amazing fight scenes throughout. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
