Why wouldnt I be serious? I just thought allegations of sexual misconduct wasnt the reason for it, thats all. You have stars/artists doing bad shit every now and then, they dont stop releasing their material because of it. So yes, I thought maybe copyright stuff etc.. Idk what do I know

It was a fair question.

@saltysam keep in mind that not everyone knows everything you do. You sharing your wealth of info is always appreciated.

I'm just teasing you, but yeah double/triple/etc.. is getting old for me as well.. my wife/friends look at my collection all the time like "why do you have 3 of the same movie" lol

they'll never understand that it's because we're crazy :rofl

 

I personally am drawing a line in very light sand saying the Eureka 4k Trilogy is the final version I need!!

You are a fan like the rest of us so that's cool enough!

Here's a WIP photo teaser (though it's been finished at this point) for an upcoming 88 Films release.

It's a kung fu "McGuffin", and a lot of dangerous people (some also disarmingly beautiful) are after it at any cost. Stay tuned for details... #secretkungfumanual #88films #yourstylecanneverbeatmine #whatcoulditbe?

Doesn't appear to be. At least, it doesn't match the title of the film.

Anyone have a screenshot of the book from the film?

 

EDIT: Yep. Snake & Crane!

 

So proper subtitles this time? And maybe just one "The End" title card, rather than two?

If they're re-doing the JC/Lo Wei films, the following need fixing:

 

NEW FIST OF FURY - pre-credit sequence and scenes of Jackie and his uncle racing to the dock on Mandarin version seem very zoomed in, possibly to hide theatrical subtitles.

SHAOLIN WOODEN MEN - missing day-for-night filter for scene where Jackie follows monks to the dungeon. Missing from most releases, but present on two old English language video masters.

SPIRITUAL KUNG FU - missing day-for-night filters in scenes where manual is stolen

DRAGON FIST - Probably needs a brand new master, but check colour timing matches old releases. Previous BD has weird "sunset" filters over opening celebration sequence, and later "night" scene is missing night filters.

I like how Brad Allan shares top billing and is front and center of the cover. Seems like a nice tribute

I think 36th Chamber of Shaolin is going to be a quad dip for me. I had the Dragon Dynasty DVD, the Dragon Dynasty blu-ray, the 36th Chamber of Shaolin Trilogy blu-ray from Hong Kong, and now the Shawscope vol. 2 set. And that's it! I don't plan on upgrading to 4K. At least for now. :blush

I thought that it was Tian Long Ba Bu due to the character "eight" in the title, but it doesn't fit the Chinese characters for this title.

This could be an opportunity to improve the subtitles on the HK bluray, and probably include a meatier 5.1 soundtrack.

That cover depicts a surprising amount of detail of Shu Qi's left nipple.

Frank Djeng posted on Instagram that The Iceman Cometh will be out by the end of the year too.

That's what I suspected. 88's title hint picture has the initials "IC" shown among titles to be continued.
