I wanted to do that at one point as well, but unfortunately I just don’t have the wall space plus here in the US those frames run almost $20 apiece. So I went with the less sophisticated Wallpaper type of tactic. I bought a really nonabrasive double-sided tape and put them on the walls of my movie room.. I do use a special tape so I can take them off and put them back in the case w/o damaging the poster. I’m running out of space even with this method, though. 😂 maybe I can convince my wife to allow some of the posters in other rooms 😑 . Fantastic looks epic 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member andy338 Posted December 28, 2022 Member Share Posted December 28, 2022 Snake & Crane Arts of Shaolin includes a Japanese version is there anywhere that lists the difference between this and the Hong Kong version? Also why is the Cantonese version that appeared on the last 88Films release not on this one? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last part, I'm not sure why the Cantonese verison was excluded from this release. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I noticed the running time for both was identical so it makes sense that the only change is the music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, nothing different except the music/insert songs added in the Japanese verison's of JC flims. Like Eureka did with My Lucky Stars Trilogy including music from the Japanese verisons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also why is the Cantonese version that appeared on the last 88Films release not on this one? If I recall correctly, the Cantonese track from previous release was not from the film's theatrical release. Instead, it was a newer dub done much later. A theatrical Cantonese track for this film is either hard to find or doesn't exist, so I think they opted to just keep it off this new edition. Also, for the Japanese version, there's no runtime difference. The Japanese version just has a different soundtrack for certain scenes, but it's still in Mandarin all throughout. Here's a clip from the Japanese version. The song that plays during the first three minutes was made for the Japanese release, whereas the original HK version doesn't have music: 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member KenHashibe Posted January 3, 2023 Member Share Posted January 3, 2023 Taking a look at this video, there is a significant improvement on the audio/video quality from the previous release. This new Blu-ray has a new 2k restoration of the original negative, whereas the previous Blu-ray doesn't state it's from the original negative, so it might have been from a different source(?). Also, the color grade on this new Blu-ray is MUCH better. Definitely planning on double-dipping. Honestly, even if it didn't have a new restoration, the new @KUNG FU BOB poster for this release is stunning, and I would want to buy the release JUST for the poster. 10 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree. Nowadays, where watching and archiving movies digitally is so simple, physical presents like posters and lobby cards are big big pullfactors for purchase. So dear labels... you got me 😙 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlexanderFu Posted January 5, 2023 Member Share Posted January 5, 2023 Snake & Crane is on its way . it might even be here before the 16th, a nice bonus. I love the Lo Wei/Jackie stuff, but then again, I rarely find a movie in the genre that I just flat out dislike. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
