Member wmcguire18 Posted December 31, 2021 Member Share Posted December 31, 2021 I cannot believe my favorite movies of all time are getting these kind of releases. I've been in school this year and I'm catching up on a ton of releases but this one I got for Christmas and it was so fantastic. The news that COME DRINK WITH ME is the follow up, and there announced titles in the new box set have me convinced this is the golden age for kung fu collectors. I hope we get KILLER CONSTABLE at some point because I can't find the 88 Films or the German blu ANYWHERE. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because this tweet alone doesn’t confirm a chor Yuen movie in the boxset. It could confirm 1 from each director but I would interpret that as one movie in the boxset from either director. I’ll be happy either way. Im surprised that Arrow has included so many top tier movies in their first boxset and can’t wait for the second btw.. I enjoyed your interview with Frank Djeng, thanks for sharing it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m super shocked how stacked boxset two already is, might be better than volume 1 for me personally and thanks so much for watching! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if 88 rights have lapsed, Killer Constable. But BO stronger bet...Vol#2 looks interesting because only Venom have movie imported from Germany was Kid. Hopefully they have some earlier Shaws planned as single releases.. Watched King Boxer...even as was expected jump up in PQ it almost shocked to see it 1st time as HD when had gotten used first to so-so ivl and better DD dvds...Wang Ping interview was nice, Wish someone would release "5 billion dollar legacy" she mentions. Great murder mystery, but so unlikely it happens. Edited January 1, 2022 by FightingFool 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new restorations done by Arrow look phenomenal, while the ones by Celestial have a slightly softer look, but are still great. I always love it when kung fu Blu-ray's contain the classic theatrical trailers, and this release is PACKED with them! I have barely been able to watch any of the films and special features because there is so much to get through. I was still able to skim through each disc to see what features are on there, and how the transfers look. I did get to watch Heroes of the East all the way through with my girlfriend. I had seen it many times but it was her first time seeing it, and she loved it! Looking forward to getting through the rest! My curiosity peaked and I had to listen to the Five Venoms commentary. Not to beat a dead horse, but it is full of factual errors. I'm not sure if this was mentioned, but he starts off by stating that Dick Wei plays the old Poison Clan leader at the beginning of the film (which is true). But then he "corrects" himself later and states that Dick Wei actually played a fruit vendor and Ku Feng plays the Poison Clan leader (at 16:23-17:08 in the commentary track). In all fairness, I've never done a commentary and I assume it's much harder than I might think, but I'm sure even a casual fan can recognize Dick Wei, one of the most prolific actors in HK action movies. He excuses himself by saying it's hard to recognize these actors with makeup, but IT'S DICK WEI. Besides the factual errors and direct quotes from Chang Cheh's memoir, he spends most of the commentary analyzing the film like a movie review instead of being an informative piece. However, keep in mind that this commentary is the one flaw in an otherwise perfect set. That's why research is so important! Sorry to hear of this single blemish on an otherwise spectacular set. Hopefully Arrow is aware of this and he won't be invited back to record another commentary. At least we still have Bey Logan on the Dragon Dynasty release. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member MaskedAvenger Posted January 6, 2022 Member Share Posted January 6, 2022 Just received my set yesterday, I don't normally upgrade my movies as I have all these movies already on dvd (some of them I own 3 different versions) but this set was too good to pass on and I wasn't disappointed once I opened it. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Django Posted January 6, 2022 Member Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) I solved the disc housing problem like this. With all the great extras and everything these will go in and out of the player for a good while now so this will be way more practical! Mighty Peking will remain untouched in it's cardboard jacket, where it belongs 😄 Edited January 6, 2022 by Django 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member WaverBoy Posted January 6, 2022 Member Share Posted January 6, 2022 Can’t relate to the packaging complaints on this set — I have no issue with removing and replacing the discs without scratching them. 🤷🏻♂️ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Stewart Posted January 6, 2022 Member Share Posted January 6, 2022 My only complaint about it is that I wish Arrow would standardize their limited packaging. This set next to their Daimajin, Yokai, and Gamera sets (plus Criterion’s Godzilla) is just a big ol’ mess on my shelf. I’m sure I won’t mind as much once we get a few volumes in to the Shaw sets. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to get your finger in under the disc to get it out, which is something I always want to avoid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
