I was once in touch with a guy who was going to transfer his VHS to DVD for me so I could compare it to the EH DVD. Nothing came of it, unfortunately, but it was definitely cool to see another version. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member WaverBoy Posted March 19, 2021 Member Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) It appears that some Shaw Bros. titles have disappeared from 88’s shop, with BLACK MAGIC, PEKING MAN and INFRAMAN among them. Did I miss something? Are they out of print? I had the latter two already and I just snagged BM on eBay for a good price, so I’m covered for those, but I’m sad they’re out of print already.

Member KenHashibe Posted March 27, 2021 Member Share Posted March 27, 2021 I just wanted to post some quick thoughts on The Master Blu-ray which I bought last weekend. Beautiful cover art as always (I almost feel this doesn't need to be said since I will say it every time ). I loved looking at the A3 poster included so I could see all of the details (including references to the KFF Forum in the graffiti!). The audio options on this were really great too! I think that the different Cantonese mono options were similar in quality, but I was shocked that the Cantonese 5.1 mix isn't bad at all, given Fortune Star's horrific track record. The dialogue sounded good, the music was more clear than I've ever heard it before, and the sound effects all sounded like the original sound effects, instead of modernizing them which often ruins their previous audio mixes. The English export dub is also hilarious, and strangely enough, the English voice-acting is significantly better than the English voice-acting in the original Cantonese. And the 5.1 English sounds like trash, and very much a "Fortune Star 5.1 audio mix". The commentary with Mike Leeder and Arne Venema was incredibly informative and hilarious. And I really loved Kung Fu Bob's audio commentary too. Very entertaining (I'm a big fan of the dad jokes ), and there were so many details pointed out that I would have never noticed! I still have the interviews to go through, but I still absolutely love this release, and I would certainly recommend picking it up while the A3 poster is still available! I used to hate this movie (and in many ways, I still do), but I certainly have a new-found appreciation for it. And it's certainly a step-up from the Universe DVD which is open-matte, revealing dolly tracks, mattresses, and crew members... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can totally understand it, as frustrating it may be. Let´s hope at least many of those independent films could be released with the care and respect Eureka and 88 are putting on their releases. Thank you to all the people involved (including @ChanKongSang, his featurette was the first one I watched on the release lol). Maybe the "medium big" companies like Goldig Films (they had a website going on till very recently I think), Seasonal or Hong Hwa can be safer ground. Anyway, we can be very happy with these spectacular releases we´re enjoying No problem. Before I knew a little bit about this stuff I was always thinking "Why can't they just do this ______ and release that _______?" and couldn't understand why it was such a big deal to "get it right".

On 3/17/2021 at 12:06 AM, MobFu1972 said: The Victim is the one that got me started with Kung Fu films. I went to a video store in Chicago in the late 90's and asked the guy working there to give me his best recommendation for a newbie for martial arts films. He handed me The Victim VHS and I was forever hooked. It would be amazing if The Victim got the Young Master Blu Ray treatment. One can only dream it could happen right? @MobFu1972 that dude really hooked you up with THE VICTIM! I had some wonderful recommendations from video store people that led me to seeing Hong Kong favorites, so your story makes me feel nostalgic. One of the best was at a Chinese video store hidden in the back of a Vietnamese food market. I was so lucky to find this place because instead of having to drive deep into the city to go to Chinatown, this was only a half mile from my house. No one in there spoke English, and the older woman operating the counter was very confused as to why a white guy was trying to talk to her. She kept pointing to the movies and saying in a very thick accent "No English! Chinese!" Finally she went behind a curtain and returned with a very little boy- maybe 5 or 6 years old- her grandson, who spoke English. He was extremely smart, translated for us, and she reluctantly agreed to rent me films. But then to my surprise, this cute little tyke actually recommended some fantastic films to me! He had terrific taste. After a few visits the grandmom warmed up to me, would warmly greet me, and call out to her grandson who would excitedly run out to "guide me". Eventually, each time I would go in there I would get down on my knees (which still had me towering over him) and play kung fu fight with him. He would laugh so joyously when I would succumb to his death blows and fall over to the floor. I was in all my glory, renting several films every few days for several months. Then one day I went there and the spot where the video store had been was empty. I tried asking some of the workers what had happened and if they had a new location, but no one could (or would) answer me except one lady that simply said "They go." I never saw them again. Anyway... (old dude rambles on about old memories ) I'd fight to be first in line to get a Blu-ray release of THE VICTIM!

Expand Fingers crossed for all these Jet Li titles. It's been frustrating trying to enjoy these movies for the past couple of decades. They are always compromised in some annoying way. Just look at this exerpt from DVD Compare on available DVD versions of FONG SAI-YUK: OVERALL: Draw - R2 Japan has the full version of the movie and an anamorphic transfer, but it isn't English friendly. - If you require English subtitles, R0 HK also offers the full movie, but it isn't anamorphic. - R1 CE (Dragon Dynasty) / R2 UK (Cine Asia) have by far the best extras, but are the shorter international cut (the UK with an additional 1 second cut). https://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=2013 This is the case with most of Jet's titles, and it stinks. I've kept my Universe Laser DVDs to have them uncut, but despite the much clearer and anamorphic picture I don't want to watch the chopped up Dragon Dynasty ones. I keep the DD ones for their special features only. The TAI CHI MASTER Blu-ray that I have from the UK is the same as the DD release, and it's supposed "Original Cantonese Mono" audio does this horrible thing where the sound effects are suddenly much louder and sound like they're from a different audio track. It ruins the scenes! I've seen the film in 35mm and via the old Universe Laser DVD and this was not heard there.
