[One Armed Boxer]

Good news for Korean kung-fu fans, as 2 martial arts flicks were included in the restorations that the Korean Film Archive completed last year, 'Wondering Woman with Two Swords' and 'Seoyooki'.

We can dream! Although it’s worth noting the Archive stopped releasing DVD’s a few years ago, all their releases are Blu-ray only.

Finally some martial arts! Hope they can come to Blu-ray.

I'd buy these in a heartbeat if these came out on Blu-Ray. I have their DVD release of the two Hong Kil Dong animated movies; I really love the care put into the overall presentation (in terms of the Picture/Audio Quality and Packaging).

"Wondering Woman" - that has to have originated as a typo for "wandering."

Fascinating stuff - I had no idea that the Korean Film Archive produced blu rays for commercial sale. Are they English-friendly?

I don't think I've ever seen a classic Korean kung fu movie. Though I'm fond of Lee Myung-se's 2005 "Duelist," a beautiful, one of a kind oddity.

(Oh, first post. Hi, everyone. Nice place you got here.)

Ah, yes... I went to the page linked, and Google translates the Korean title as "Wandering Twin Swordswoman."

The movies themselves are 100% English friendly, and many of the audio commentaries often come with English subtitles too. They always come with well put together booklets as well, providing background on the movies & the state of the film industry during the era they were made. There’s a thread over on the Blu-ray forum that gets updated with their new releases, linked below -

(Speaking of being new to the forum, I just looked up the translation of Mu Ren Zhuang and had a hearty chuckle.)
