yes most definitely

Or maybe Not. GrindhouseMike said arrow did not tell him to delay shipping till November so mistake was on arrow side. I bet tho some are frustrated knowing now sets are ready but not available to purchase(grindhouse won`t ship them anymore atm) and have to wait and end of year usually brings some more ways to burn funds(xmas)..

 

I guess I get this on halloween sale 2023. Having all on dvd except barefooted kid(and few on br) not really in hurry for this+movie line up is not that stellar unlike in#1 so no hurry for this. Extra materials tho look more interesting than in 1st, particularly The Beauties of the Shaw Studios and Citizen Shaw.

Looks like it . Yesterday I canceled from Arrow and ordered from Grindhouse and the site had “shipping now “ available. Today I checked and now it’s changed to just preorder . 

Same :crying

Pure speculation, but B&N has had a 50% off Arrow titles sale in November (alongside the 50% off Criterion sale)  for the last couple of years and the delay puts the release out right after said sale would end. So it appears they don't want this as part of that sale.

I got my set in from Grindhouse yesterday, which just happened to be my 21st birthday, so i consider it my present to myself this year. Can't wait to dig into it after I finish Vol 1

Unfortunately B&N doesn't ship overseas.

I know, but I was pointing out a possible reason for the finished product getting delayed two weeks in the US.  Arrow doesn't want it on sale for half off during its release week.

As I did last year for Shawscope Volume One, I'm doing reviews once again for Volume Two, both in the pages of Eastern Heroes magazine and in more detail via individual video reviews for each disc ( the first two discs I reviewed together as those two make up the 36th Chamber Of Shaolin Trilogy of Movies) I can't imagine anyone on here isn't already pretty intimately familiar with the movies themselves, but for anyone curious about the special features or transfers, I hope these videos will  still prove useful.

The First video in the series is up on my Youtube channel already.

Be surprised if that surfaces this year- 50 years since his death next year, may release then. I'm sure Warner will release ETD on 4k 50th anniversary UHD .

I wish there would be digital download code for commentary tracks. Would rather listen them from phone when at bus, train etc than at home, only comment track have listened while watched movie was in Sacred knives of vengeance. That is because Tvp disc otherwise is not english friendly release.

Currently in the process of recording Audio commentary tracks for the Shaw's movies that 88 Films and Arrow didn't include ones for on their releases :)

It's not martial arts related but I thought some people might be interested in this...

Yes. I'm eager to get this set as my ju-on DVD is the Korean version and the Ju-on white/black ghost is Chinese.
