It would be nice they mentioned the size of the posters on the rear cover. These ones I know the size of, as you've told me, but other companies, their posters are huge with no measurements for the right sized picture frame.

This was from the scene about 43 minutes into the film when the girls went out to the deck for a tan.

Member HeavenSword Posted October 30, 2023 Member Share Posted October 30, 2023 Ahhh Magic Crystal …….. this movie is a classic . No , not a guilt pleasure classic either , I think this is just classic Hong Kong cinema. One of those films that is just constant fun entertainment throughout the entire run time , but it’s never exhausting. Perfectly paced, excellent action , fun characters . I had a smile on my face quite a few times when watching this the second go round Five stars……..actually no……. Six ! 4 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got it on VCD but nothing to watch it on at this point! I'm not saying it's right up there with Project A or Millionaires' Express but Book Of Heroes is still kind of fun with Yukari Oshima giving the action scenes all she had & goofy, slapsticky style humor to boot, I'd like to see it get some love from someone like Eureka! or 88 Films. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Knetan Posted October 30, 2023 Member Share Posted October 30, 2023 Perhaps still with Fortune Star but have a feeling no one is asking for Book Of Heroes. Not to the extent where a release on those labels would be warranted. Not a safe enough bet I think. But I would pre-order if it happened. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Type the @ symbol, then start typing the member's name that you want to tag and a dropdown of possible choices will appear below it as you type the name.

It's pure entertainment with (to echo his sentiments) excellent action. Cynthia Rothrock pulls some stunning shapes, and Richard Norton is also at the top of his game. I'll definitely be picking this one up.

If you've seen any of Chu Yen-Ping's films (FANTASY MISSION FORCE, FIRE DRAGON, ISLAND OF FIRE) you know that you're likely going to get a frenetic mess of a film with some extremely OTT action and stunts. For me, his work ranges from "What the Hell is this nonsense?" to funny and thrilling, oftentimes all within the same film. In my... er, book, A BOOK OF HEROES fits into this mixed category. It's got some top-notch action in it, but other elements that barely feel competently done. Would I want it if it came out on Blu-ray? Yes. On 10/30/2023 at 3:56 AM, ChillyChong said: I have vcd too, terrible movie except action.in book there is same kid as in Magic Crystal he was impressive for a brat. I would buy Book too but it is not a movie hoping to get released. There are loads of better flicks with Yukari. I think I have a DVD-R copy of the VCD of BOOK. The child actor, "Bin Bin" Wen Chao-Yu, was only 6 years old when MAGIC and BOOK were filmed (he was also in 3 other films that same year). He retired from making films at the age of 12 after doing a dozen films but returned to the screen in 2015 for the comedy SORRY, BABY. I haven't seen that nor any photos of it, which made me think- it's a strange phenomenon when you only see someone as a child in a movie, so they are forever young in your mind. But actually, little "Bin Bin will be turning 44 at the end of this month. On 10/30/2023 at 2:25 PM, lastninja said: Thank you Bruce for your positive words about "Book Of Heroes". Even if ChillyChong's critical words are not entirely unjustified, in my opinion the film stands out from the average HK martial arts actioner. The reason for this is the really excellently staged battle scenes. And there really are a lot of them. In addition to Yukari Oshima, Elsa Yang (we'll soon see her in "Challenge Of The Lady Ninja" from Error4444) but especially Pauline Lan Hsin-Mei can show what they can do. Even if I repeat myself, here is the link to the fight scenes again. Fantastic stuff. The other movie with fantastic fights from Pauline Lan Hsin-Mei I know of is "Funny Family": For once I would agree to a bundle with the two films, Eureka. Well said, @lastninja. I haven't seen FUNNY FAMILY. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun fact! - On the Vinegar Syndrome release of 'Magic Crystal' Frank Djeng brought along his old Tai Seng audio commentary buddy Ric Meyers for the ride. For his audio commentary on the 88 Films release of 'Magic Crystal', it seems like he's already regretting his decision, and the commentary track is back to just Djeng by himself. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
