I'm not an expert, so: is "Chia liang liu" "Lau-kar leung"? That's very strange that his name was written that way in that press release. Yes to your question, it's the same person, but it should (as @ShawAngela pointed out) be written as "Liu Chia-Liang". 1 hour ago, OpiumKungFuCracker said: I buy the 88 films just for @KUNG FU BOB artwork. Bless your heart! (the check is in the mail ). 1 hour ago, ShawAngela said: I read "available in the UK and USA", but I guess that 88 won't do as earlier and ship worldwide ! I'm not sure, but I hope they will. I think that in that statement they're specifying those countries because of the releases being Region 1 and 2, but hopefully their availability to order shipping to France won't change. 1 hour ago, ShawAngela said: Yes, that horrible habit of writing the Chinese names as we do outside of China, putting the family name in the last position !

It takes a whole lot to rile you up, but I see that the disrespect to "Pops" was your breaking point! I'll be sure not to cross you, my friend. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Drunken Monk Posted September 28, 2021 Member Share Posted September 28, 2021 Oddly, Disciples of Shaolin is up for pre-order on US Amazon (here) but the movies that are being released sooner (Flag of Iron and Legendary Weapons...) aren't. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AslanBey Posted September 28, 2021 Member Share Posted September 28, 2021 And why is Lau kar Leung called so when his real name is different? I mean I get it with Jackie and Gordon and Jet li and Donnie etc. (Western names I think). But what was the reason for the "second" name of Lau Kar Leung? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok ok wait... sorry if this is a dumb question: so one person has several names in several accents ( dialects, languages?) ? If my name is "aslan" in mandarin, then they would call me otherwise in cantonese? Or is this another traditional issue?? Like I said I dont have any knowledge about this topic. Can someone explain it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone explain it? Mandarin and Cantonese are different. Mandarin chinese people can not understand cantonese also some words are very near. Like Sifu (cantonese western notation) and Shifu (mandarin western notation). So it is the same with names: Liu Chia Liang ( cantonese ) - Lau Kar Leung ( mandarin ). The western notation comes from the pronunciation - cantonese or mandarin. Hope that helps you to understand. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member saltysam Posted September 29, 2021 Member Share Posted September 29, 2021 88 getting a bit of stick elsewhere over the availability of Story Of Ricky. They've moved warehouses so there was a delay in listing this as available on their website, Amazon etc got stock first. They finally put up their copies earlier and it sold out in less than an hour,seems plenty missed out who were probably hoping to use reward points. I love 88 but they do seem a bit haphazard with pre-orders from their site. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Yihetuan Posted October 7, 2021 Member Share Posted October 7, 2021 It's seriously frustrating to get a copy of Story of Ricky without paying the highway robbery shipping fees or getting extorted on ebay. I'm on the waiting list at diabolik but it goes out of stock almost immediately after getting notified. Thank god that 88films is planning on printing 2000 more copies due to the overwhelming response for this title. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a strange release, i was waiting for 88 to put it up before ordering, eventually i ordered from Amazon the Friday before release day and it arrived on the Monday. I also believe HMV have not yet sent out their pre-orders citing they haven't had stock yet, but i'm hearing that copies are/have been available in some HMV stores.Must have a look in my local store.

Member FightingFool Posted October 13, 2021 Member Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) Some1 who played henchman of Michiko Nishiwaki in Outlaw brothers "leaked" 88 films has plan to release it. Hopefully it happens, while movie has bit too much comedy in action it certainly delivers. Edited October 13, 2021 by FightingFool 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
