My best guess is, lack of exposure and therefore lack of knowledge? That's a valid excuse for your average "Joe" or "Jane", but if you call yourself a reviewer then I think you should be held to a higher standard. Do a little research. Proof-read your reviews, you know? And I have nothing personal against the guy, I just feel bothered by all the casual misinformation people throw up on the web. That stuff stays there to misinform people forever. Just a few days ago I saw someone sharing the "info" that a lot of the Shaw films were lost in a fire. This is a false statement that was probably started 20 years or more ago, and it just keeps getting repeated and passed on. Fortunately, someone quickly dispelled it a myth (and I think it was one of our KFFF family members enlightening the person). On 5/10/2022 at 6:19 AM, TibetanWhiteCrane said: Wrong. Sure, it is not served up on a silver platter, you gotta go look for it yourself. And being a fan since '85 and doing research, reviews etc. for about 15-20 years, I will admit that the burden of acquiring info on HK cinema is fully on you. But if you put in the work, it's there... no one's being kept in the dark. With that said, I don't expect some rando reviewer from Bluray.com to know jack shit about the genre. But I don't think it's a big ask to at least school yourself on just the very minimal basics of what you are reviewing. Just the broad strokes. Still mixing up Chinese and Japanese in 2022 is motherfucking pathetic. Even for a guy who clearly knows nothing about the subject of his review and is merely talking out of his ass, that's still such a low bar. 97% of online reviewing is pure shit, just utter ill-informed, uneducated garbage that serves no purpose other than taking up cyberspace. And that's unfortunate. I'm not looking for a highbrow, scholarly dissertation from every film review, but at least get the basics right for the more casual readers who doesn't know any better. KungFuBob's example here made me wanna punch this guy in the cock and slap his momma for such a shitty review, though I am now a man of peace, and will not be pursuing such acts of violence. But seriously, online reviewers out there... get your fucking shit together, it's embarrassing. You really have a way! For real LOL while reading your post, you maniac!

But it has some footage not available in other dvd releases. The 88 Films Blu-ray release includes all the footage from the various versions. Finally, a wrong in Hong Kong cinema set right.

There's some fight scenes but they are more brutal and realistic opposed to the fancy stuff Jackie, Sammo and Bill usually did back then. The movie is a classic but not for the reason you think it is. The story and the acting comes first, and Bill Yuen, Pat Ha as well as Charlie Chin (breaking out from his romantic and comedic roles) put out remarkable performances! An avid Hong Kong cinema fan would geek over it. Edited May 19, 2022 by DiP 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member AlexanderFu Posted May 21, 2022 Member Share Posted May 21, 2022 (edited) Well, I just went and did my part for the cause! The 88 and Arrow boxes look similar, but I just ordered these 4 and also have Monkey Kung Fu and Come Drink With Me (Arrow Version). Belowpicture - 17$ 27$ 17$ & 17$. Hope for more good stuff and maybe some of the good non Shaw Stuff. Return of the Chinese Boxer is a favorite and hope that comes soon! Human Lanterns is on it's way, but not until June 10th. How you get your copy so quick, Graysman?!? Edited May 21, 2022 by AlexanderFu 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member AlexanderFu Posted May 23, 2022 Member Share Posted May 23, 2022 Hello, wondering if any one could help with this question about 'Flag of Iron' and 'Legendary Weapons of China'. They just arrived, but they had no slip cases. Meanwhile a revied had the Blu-ray's with slipcovers. Disciples of Shaolin and Shaolin Mantis had slip covers as did Monkey Kung Fu and Come Drink With Me. Did anyone order these 2 ang get them (or not) with slip covers? I think I might send them back depending on what answers I get. Thank you! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
