Moderator Asmo Posted January 29, 2022 Moderator Share Posted January 29, 2022 5 hours ago, dshooker said: After the 8 Diagram Pole Fighter announcement, James Flower tweeted that Arrow's new restoration "restores the correct logo to the beginning, rather than the same one Celestial stuck to every film regardless of era." Also, in case anyone was curious about the subtitle translation, Dylan Cheung confirms on Twitter that it's "a slightly tweaked" version of his translation which appeared on the 88 Film release. The 88 subs had a couple spelling errors if I remember correctly. That happens sometimes though, we're all human, but I'm sure they've been addressed. And I've seen that logo before (maybe on Hong Kong Godfather?) and it's good to see it again. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more reason to double-dip now, thanks Arrow! How many other SB films on Blu currently have the incorrect logo? As far as I know that gold SB logo was first used around 1983. I don't think the logo situation with the Celestial Pictures version of Shaw Brothers movies is quite as bad as the situation with Media Asia/Fortune Stars version of Golden Harvest movies they almost always use the 'Big G' logo which as far as I know was first used in 1978. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Django Posted February 1, 2022 Member Share Posted February 1, 2022 Did anyone else receive this kind of deformity on their boxes? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelNH Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Mine was like that along the top edge, like the vinyl wrap was coming unglued from the cardboard. I just tried to apply some pressure on the inside of the box to get the vinyl to stick more. It's not so noticeable now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Yihetuan Posted February 3, 2022 Member Share Posted February 3, 2022 I checked my box and it's in perfect condition with no deformity as pictured. Guess I'm lucky. I thought this was a cool pic of Yasuaki Kurata holding his personal copy. 20 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member ShawAngela Posted February 8, 2022 Member Share Posted February 8, 2022 A crazy thing happened to me !! After receiving the shipping notice for the set a while ago, I still haven't received it, and the day before yesterday, I noticed a refund from zavvi that was the same as the price I had paid !! 😱 So, I wrote to zavvi and they told me that the package had been returned n'y the carrier ! 1) I didn't know that it had been sent through a carrier ! 2) I never received any update From Fedex telling me that a package would arrived or was waiting for me somewhere !! So, I have now to order the set again !! The only good news of this week are that I received Flag of Iron from 88 ans Legendary Weapons of China from zavvi... 1 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aw damn! Sorry to hear this. Strange, because normally Fedex are so reliable. Case in point: I received notice today that my package (a figure of the wolf from AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON if you must know. ) is still expected to arrive on February 2nd! You know... last Wednesday. Sigh. I'm not in a rush for it; just saying- their reliability is laughable.

I would love to have that upgraded to blu ray. I have it via the double pack with The Blood Brothers from Dragon Dynasty. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member nahnahnah Posted February 21, 2022 Member Share Posted February 21, 2022 (edited) According to set producer James Flower, there will be more than 2 boxsets and will more than likely contain a Chor Yuen film: https://twitter.com/jamesflowerfilm/status/1495810616249958406 Edited February 21, 2022 by nahnahnah 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there needs to be a volume with a mix of Chor Yuen and Sun Chung. They really knew how to use those Shaw Sets. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AslanBey Posted February 22, 2022 Member Share Posted February 22, 2022 I still didnt order shawscope vol.1. Mainly because of the price. I know for the number of movies included it is a fair price but paying so much at once besides other releases is not inviting. You think the price could drop in some weeks? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not in few weeks but eventually. If it`s still selling well no need for price drop just yet. Would be interested to know how limited this was... Nice to see Golden Swallow trailer listed in CDWM arrow disc, hopefully they release GS as individually instead of shawscopes..

Member WaverBoy Posted February 22, 2022 Member Share Posted February 22, 2022 The set is jam packed with SB classics, including the long-desired original HK cut of THE CHINATOWN KID, and the price is fair. Can’t imagine passing it up if you’re a SB fan. So glad to have it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantid Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I will never understand what is so special about Chinatown Kid to be honest, Chang Cheh better movies are way behind the ones in the set 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
