Member nahnahnah Posted June 30, 2022 Member Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) Arrow have performed a new 2K restoration for Mercenaries from Hong Kong, and it will be premiering at Fantasia Fest. I'm presuming this will also be included in the Shawscope Vol 2 set. Edited June 30, 2022 by nahnahnah 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member AlexanderFu Posted July 3, 2022 Member Share Posted July 3, 2022 Hello and happy weekend/4th of July depending on location! I just want to ask quick advice if I want to get the Shaw volume 1. If I get it, it will have to be the set with the 2 Audio discs. I guess I'm weird when collect things, but for this I feel like I need the audio included set, unless I missed out on something even better - ala a limited to 1000 or similar 8 +2 set. Anyway, Amazon price is better than Arrow's site. I'd like some opinions if I should go amazon and save almost 20$ (July 18th delivery from UK). Also - does anyone know if Eureka gives tracking when order completed online? My order of Shaolin Plot an Duel or the Death says 'completed', but no email with tracking from Royal mail. Hopefully I'll get surprised in a day or so as I waited off on watching The Shaolin Plot. Thanks and enjoy the 4th/July weekend! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always like the version in the movie better than the B.O.C. version. It is a great riff! Here's the song they 'borrowed' just for a bit! Great movie, very excited for this!

Member Stewart Posted July 3, 2022 Member Share Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) AFAIK all versions of the set have the CDs, it’s also currently half off from Barnes and Noble (along with all other Arrow releases) Edited July 3, 2022 by Stewart 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does however say special edition/w booklet, so not sure what it will be really. (I'm going 10AM tomorrow to Barnes & Noble. They are holding the 2 they have for me). I'm hoping someone that bought the BR + the two CD's can tell me if there was anything on the packaging that will tell me if the set has 2 CD's. Even if the 10 total disc set is 130$, it's only about 10$ per movie and change for everything else. I have a UPC code for the 10 disc set, so I guess we'll see in the morning if I luck out or Amazon UK for $130 it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Arrow have released another version besides the Limited Edition at this point. So the ones Barnes and Noble has should have the music CDs included. I was going to post a link, but I just saw your latest post pop up @AlexanderFu. That is a cool tune and works well for that scene. I've never had any shipping or tracking info when ordering directly from Eureka. Once the order says "Completed" on their site I consider that shipped and typically have it in 7-10 days, which is fast from the UK to the US. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to think that. I took a quick screen grab of the back of the version that is limited. I'm excited, tomorrow Igo 3 miles to Barnes and Noble who are holding the 2 they have, I'll be there at 10 AM when they open. IF it has the same back as this blurry picture (You can just about see the audio discs listed). To Kill a Mastermind has to be done up nice someday!!!

Well, of course you both were right, I'm glad I asked and thank you both! Amazon is full of nasty little tricks, you'll see the pic below where Amazon USA sells for $89, but the pic is only outside of box. No way to know what the deal is with no back shot. The other 'option' is Amazon UK for $128 - it has a layout picture that shows the audio discs. Also, the UK had a week earlier release date. So yeah, I guess they are all limited, just depends on if you want to spend $97.75 (w/tax) or do you want to spend 136 or more. I wonder how many units were made. I'm just surprise the Barnes & Noble had not 1 but 2 sets. I breakdown the price as follows: $10 per blu-ray. $5 per CD and $7.75 for the packaging. With the 4 extra movies, it's almost $8 a movie, so this is really a good deal. This forum talked me into this, so my wallet blames all of you!

Member AlexanderFu Posted July 5, 2022 Member Share Posted July 5, 2022 A Shaw Brothers/Ku Lung set would be the ultimate. Chor Yuen could fill a set himself and it would be one of the best! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member HeavenSword Posted July 5, 2022 Member Share Posted July 5, 2022 Agreed. A Chor Yuen / Sun Chung set would be greatness , with some other non martial art films for diversity . The Magic Blade The Avenging Eagle Killer Clans The Kung Fu Instructor To Kill A Mastermind Convict Killer Clans Of Intrigue Intimate Confessions Of A Chinese Courtesan Perils Of The Sentimental Swordsman Men From The Gutter Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Naval Commando’s Descendant Of The Sun Twinkle Twinkle seems like a weird choice , but it’s one of Shaws best when it comes to production values . 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not surprised at Martial Arts of Shaolin considering Shaw Brothers considers it to be the last of the main Era movies they made. Though I wonder why The Bare Foot Kid is included and not the true last movie from them, Drunken Monkey. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Chemical Lemon Posted August 10, 2022 Member Share Posted August 10, 2022 Disc 7!!! We knew they were coming but that’s the disc of the set. psyched that 5 Super fighters is in the set, though I was hoping the master/3 Evil Masters might get on here with a new restoration also happy that Magnificent Ruffians and Ten Tigers are getting new restorations 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
