Member Graeme Of Death Posted July 5, 2020 Member Share Posted July 5, 2020 In terms of the Golden Harvest ones I'm quite sure we'll see all the ones Hong Kong Legends had at some point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted July 5, 2020 Member Share Posted July 5, 2020 You will NEVER see a new version of Pantyhose Hero in today's world. I like it, but it just ain't gonna happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Graeme Of Death Posted July 5, 2020 Member Share Posted July 5, 2020 I've never seen Pantyhose Hero, but with a title like that and after looking at the synopsis of the film I can only expect that it's a work of genius. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it was a joke, perhaps I should have put a space between 'up' and 'tights' or underlined the 's' or put an emoji or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator thekfc Posted July 5, 2020 Moderator Share Posted July 5, 2020 My want list is whatever movie they release as long as it is remastered (an upgrade). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Graeme Of Death Posted July 5, 2020 Member Share Posted July 5, 2020 I'd like to see some that are harder to find and not just ones that Hong Kong Legends put out 15 year ago. Officer Tuba, Rosa, The Champions, Shanghai Express and the intriguing Pantyhose Hero for me please. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They shouldn't have it. 88 Flims should Kung Fu Bob will give it an epic cover. Mike Leeder should do the commantary on the flim... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted July 5, 2020 Member Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) Can't really fault them for banking on the "safe" titles. At least they are putting out physical media in a time where the tangible release format is on its death bed. We'll never see something like HKL again, who took chances on more obscure titles... sometimes hitting the mark, sometimes not. Those days are over. Lot of more obscure titles coming out on HK Blu these days though.... many I'm not interested in, but a few here and there are nice to see popping up. Not expecting any of my more deep cut wants ever seeing the light of day on disc. Don't think these labels are falling all over each other to bring out Man on the Brink, Coolie Killer, Killer's Romance, Forsaken Cop, Manchester Death Warrant, Phantom War, Crocodile Hunter etc. Maybe a few of those will hit German Blu, but I'm not holding my breath. Of course I'm speaking more in general HK film terms here.... not Kung Fu. For the more rare old school KF titles, my list is too long and never gonna materialize.

Member Graeme Of Death Posted July 5, 2020 Member Share Posted July 5, 2020 I don't think it's a case of them going for more safe titles. I assume they've just bought the UK rights for the films from whoever had them that dealt with HKL. So it's a straight forward case of "remastering" them, new cover, copy the extras across and away you go? 88 Films have had some decent Shaw Brothers ones that weren't readily available in the UK but I can't see them coming out with a Pantyhose Hero or Pedicab Driver either. The films you mentioned above TibetanWhiteCrane I'm not familiar with them, but if they are of let's say the lower quality of kung fu films I doubt they're any more shite than some of the obscure low budget horror films 88 Films puts out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see Eureka being the one's releasing The Lucky Stars trilogy on blu-ray. I know Kickboxer is off the table but maybe Double Team??? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And givng Mike Leeder the dumbest reason why not to include his Audio Commantary. Ill stick to the Shout DVD till someone gives the flim it's better deserved release. Because....we're a Brittish company they said why they couldn't include Mike. SMH! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now dvd although not the best but that's all there is since no blu-ray hasn't been released. Ashame despite this flim will turn 30 next month on August 8. I highly doubt anyone will go thru that trouble to put it out a remastered verison on DVD/Blu-ray. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best bet is finding someone who can trade you a laserdisc rip. There's a Panmedia bootleg made from a laserdisc rip, but (as well as just being Panmedia) the disc authoring has inherent flaws. There's a VCD too, but it's full screen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member WaverBoy Posted July 6, 2020 Member Share Posted July 6, 2020 I had forgotten until recently that I have the LDs of both PANTYHOSE HERO and DON’T GIVE A DAMN. Looks like I’ll be hanging on to those for a while. I can’t wait for my broken LD player to get out of the shop. I haven’t watched those two movies in at least a couple decades. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're both solid if you look at them within the context of the time they were made. Awesome that you own both of them on laserdisc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got an LD rip and while watchable, a fresh release would sure hit the spot.... but like I said, it ain't gonna happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
