Also looking forward to Mad Monkey Kung fu and Shaolin Mantis. Excited to see what the @KUNG FU BOB artwork will look like for these new titles. Although I do like the original poster artwork as well and it's a nice option to reverse the sleeves if one chooses to do that. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Drunksnake Posted August 14, 2021 Member Share Posted August 14, 2021 Can anybody remember the Monkey Kung Fu trailer on the Made In Hong Kong VHS of Drunken Master and SITES? Hope it can be included. Really liked those trailers. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched this movie many years ago in French or French subtitles, but I don't remember if I had liked it as much as I loved his wuxias or martial arts movies. But if I can, I'll buy it, this kind of blue color is my favorite one and I love this cover ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would've preferred Kiss of the Dragon out of his western movies. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member saltysam Posted August 14, 2021 Member Share Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) I'll be passing on the Jet Li title but in for all the Shaws and Armour Of God.Hope either 88 or Arrow can get hold of Mad Monkey Kung Fu.

Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted August 14, 2021 Member Share Posted August 14, 2021 Rewatched The One a few months back.... was surprised it sucked way worse than I remembered. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AslanBey Posted August 14, 2021 Member Share Posted August 14, 2021 Never watched The One. I know what it is about but somehow I couldnt watch it. I was ready to purchase it but just saw the prices on amazon... now I think that i have to think twice considering all the releases at the same time 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just browsing the 88 Films facebook comments and I really hope that they haven't made a costly misstep with this release as there was quite a bit of negativity. Many were pointing out that £30 for a poor movie that's been available on blu ray at a budget price for ages would be one to avoid especially as there is so much good stuff coming. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member saltysam Posted August 14, 2021 Member Share Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) Yes, the way physical media is these days i just don't see 88 shifting 2000 steelbooks of The One at at £30 a pop.However there are steelbook fanatics out there who buy for the steel not the movie so maybe they are relying on that. I sold on my standard blu of The One years ago. Edited August 14, 2021 by saltysam 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member KenHashibe Posted August 14, 2021 Member Share Posted August 14, 2021 4 hours ago, Rubber John said: I need a little bit of clarification... Are Monkey Kung Fu and Mad Monkey Kung Fu the same film? They're different movies, released the same year by Shaw Brothers. And just for clarification's sake, Monkey Kung Fu (1979) is also a separate movie from Monkey Kung Fu (1980) also known as Monkey Fist Floating Snake. Also Monkey Kung Fu (1979) was retitled Stroke of Death for its US release. However, an old trailer for Five Superfighters (1979) also chose Stroke of Death as its English title despite being entirely separate movies (both from Shaw Brothers, starring Kwan Fung). Just putting this all out there since I was horribly confused about the same question a few years ago. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made the same mistake in my earlier post as I had Monkey Kung Fu on my brain but typed Mad Monkey Kung Fu. It was wishful thinking on my part as I much prefer Mad Monkey Kung Fu get the 88 Films treatment. Monkey Kung Fu was okay but it didn't have the polish that I expect from a Shaw production. It almost felt like an indie in comparison. But it's still my 2nd fave John Ma movie after Five Superfighters which isn't saying much as John Ma directed some really forgettable movies for Shaw studios. Maybe we'll get a Five Superfighters release down the road. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member LiuYiLong Posted August 14, 2021 Member Share Posted August 14, 2021 With all of yesterday's 88 Films announcements, I made a PT2 video to a wee video series I've been doing collating all the (mostly) Asian Blu Ray releases coming out between Aug-Dec, the second part is almost entirely 88 Films details ( with a few Third Window releases in between them) Some clips from the new Armour of God trailer and from the openings of Legendary Weapons of China, Flag of Iron and Shaolin Mantis to help break up my ramblings. Anyone interested can watch it here: 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially fongsaiyuk and taichi. And also the one with the little kid in ancient china ( legend of the red dragon??? Legend of shaolin???) Are there any current nice releases of fongsaiyuk? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
