Member bickle14 Posted February 25, 2022 Member Share Posted February 25, 2022 Maybe this thread should remove "Shaw Brothers" releases and put Hong Kong... because it sounds like they will be releasing much more from Fortune Star. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done. Thanks for the suggestion. Please continue to use this thread for Arrow releases of films from HK, Shaw Brothers or otherwise. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they do get some cool A/B releases that are new. Edited February 26, 2022 by bickle14 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShawAngela Posted February 26, 2022 Member Share Posted February 26, 2022 Regions A+B would be better than only Region A...This cover for One armed boxer is great. Who is the artist ? They say that the Mandarin dubbed is new. I don't remember if Eureka said the same on its own release. Does anyone know ? If Arrow begins to release other old martial arts movies than Shaws, it's great, but if they are region A only, I'll be very angry with them !! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is confirmed that they have a deal with Fortune Star. Since they are a UK based company, I think it would be highly unlikely that they would do a Region A only release for something that doesn't have a UK release already (by another company). These Region A only ones are just because 88 and Eureka have have Region B rights and Arrow is moving in on the market in North America.

I think Arrow will remain a "UK release priority" company. Ilan Sheady is the name of the artist that did the ONE-ARMED BOXER cover; good stuff! I'll definitely be picking up this release because of the additional special features... even though I already have the one that just came out (seems like yesterday ). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The interviews that Master Fred conducted are always fantastic! And having met and watched Jimmy Wang Yu being interviewed live at the New York Asian Film Festival special event, I know he's a great interviewee. Who knows what kind of verbal gold nuggets he's going to drop in this extra feature?! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kungfumaniac Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Does anyone have a copy of Boxer's Omen Taiwan VHS? Arrow needs a copy for the Vol 2 Shaw Box. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AslanBey Posted March 9, 2022 Member Share Posted March 9, 2022 Finally decided to order shawscope vol1. What a nice treat. But i dont get the idea behind putting mighty peking man in the set, since all other movies are martial arts movie. (Or is mighty oeking man also a MA film??) And a very little mini deficit for me is that you cant see the productionyear of the movie on the page with the disc. For someone like me who doesnt know much a about these films it would be nice. But overall top-release. 5 stars. Where can i find the first movies for vol 2 again? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelNH Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 As a fairly new collector of this genre, I'm very excited about the upcoming Arrow releases from Fortune Star, (as well as further Shaw releases of course.) I'm sure for many of you who have been collecting for years, seeing another release of a movie you already own from region B, might be a bit underwhelming, but some of us don't have all those region B releases, so it is quite exciting. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have rather seen those all in their own box and 3 other movies in Scope#2. Hopefully there is some surprise incentive, right now it looks like "invincible shaolin" is only real must have as upgrade(don`t have Ruffians yet on BR but can be obtained from Germany). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
