Member actionfan93 Posted August 14, 2021 Member Share Posted August 14, 2021 I envy you all I wish there was more among my favorite genres and actors but I am also thankful as well as its less to buy and less to track down if every girls with guns and action movie from all my favorite actors were gems my bank account would be hurting a lot more over the future as it stands I have 24 titles on my wish list some have been confirmed for future releases others have not as of yet 16 are Hong Kong action films and 8 are American Action films I am thankful its only a small amount left to upgrade should all 24 get great releases but I do wish my favorite actors had a lot more gems than they did have in their careers as well 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? New Legend of Shaolin is very good the first of Jet Li's flims with Xia Miao aka Mo Tse he's known as nowadays. Along with My Father is a Hero aka that bs title Mirahacks gave The Enforcer bs title. Only the blu-ray release has the Cantonese track / awful english dub. Those flims i wouldn't mind getting the 88 Flims release. The only ones on the topic of good releases of Fong Sai Yuk dvds are decent releases outside of the first one being released by Dragon Dynasty. Unknown why the sequel wasn't released by the label? The first one released by Dragon Dynasty had some special features, including a Bey Logan commentary that was released on DVD/Blu-ray. The DVDs are uncut, also have the original mono sound in Cantonese /Mandarin No English dub track released by Universe Laser &Video CO Limited. Edited August 14, 2021 by ZenkaigerBat I wanted to add more stuff 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would've preferred Kiss of the Dragon out of his western movies. Kiss of the dragon AND Romeo must die ! I loved these two movies ! Years ago, I also got Craddle 2 Grave in French, if I remember Well for just 2 le 3 euros ! I don' t remember the plot, but it seems to le that I enjoyed it, may be less than Jet Li' s Shaolin and WFH's movies, of course. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you mate, I did consider waiting, but I'm trying to make a video a day for the channel just now, and if the rumours about that certain big US label release prove true, and it's what many are speculating it is, then it's well worth a video all on its own 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Yihetuan Posted August 15, 2021 Member Share Posted August 15, 2021 The One was an awful movie in so many ways but I'm still surprised to see it did over $70 million at the box office. Probably his second highest grossing non-Asian movie after Romeo Must Die. I'm not counting The Expendables or Lethal Weapon 4 since he wasn't the lead in those films. I wouldn't mind a Eureka or 88 release of Danny the Dog if they can ever get the rights or license. That was one was underrated especially the over the top performance by Bob Hoskins as Jet Li's handler. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey all, there is a mistake in the above announcement from 88 Films. I do not have an article in the booklet for DISCIPLES OF SHAOLIN. The article in question is actually by our very own @Karlos. @LiuYiLong thanks for the hype (and new nick-name) about my upcoming covers. Though I'm thrilled to be doing all of these Shaw Brothers titles, Lau Sifu is tops in my book, so I'm ecstatic about working on art for his films. LEGENDARY WEAPONS OF CHINA is an awesome film, and the climactic duel Spoiler between real-life kung fu master brothers Lau Kar-Leung and Lau Kar-Wing is IMHO the greatest showcase of weapons fight choreography ever committed to film. Even if I weren't involved in this release I would be freaking out that a proper Blu-ray is coming from 88 Films for this movie. I can't wait to have it in my hands and to watch it over and over again! 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't sell out before the pre-order page opens. I'll be ordering from them for the points. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
