Definitely needed. Not like Eureka did a bad job on their release. They just did a bad job on the subtitles. The subtitles on thr old HKL dvd is much better.

But they zoomed in the rape scene to make it less graphic, and blurred a shot of pubic hair (I wrote wrong in my earlier post) being visible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just too much. Ugh. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why i still have the US DVD of Sister Streetfighter or the BluRay and DVD of Cannibal Holocaust (the UK 4k is stunning but 17 seconds cut, yes it is animal snuff) i want the movies as there was tend to be showen. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member 8DiagramAuntieFighter Posted July 28, 2023 Member Share Posted July 28, 2023 Rape scene shouldn’t have been that graphic to begin with imo. Just have it play out like The Woman Avenger and I’ll be ok with it. Actors hate filming sex scenes to begin with so i can’t imagine poor girl enjoying filming that scene. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member nahnahnah Posted July 29, 2023 Member Share Posted July 29, 2023 I was surprised that the Sammo Hung trilogy set from Eureka wasn't being ported over but James Flower has confirmed that The Magnificent Butcher is with another label (and it's been said that Criterion have the rights to Eastern Condors). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't notice it when I watched the film. But I'm not satisfied with it either and will get the US version.

In defense of the Iron Fisted Monk cover by Gary Mills, I feel the individual paintings of each character look fantastic, but I don't like the overall composition, and I feel the background colors do not mesh. I do like The Prodigal Son's artwork more, but just wishing it looked a bit more like Yuen Biao (the other characters look good), plus some more color contrast. As is, it borders on looking monochromatic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member chen lung Posted July 30, 2023 Member Share Posted July 30, 2023 The safest thing might be to just use real images? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member ChillyChong Posted July 31, 2023 Member Share Posted July 31, 2023 I actually like IFM cover. It has nice vintage looks in it and have no problem with colours. Or perhaps they help to create retro feeling. Longmore makes sometimes covers far too action packed but faces are terrifically drawn.

I agree with you. Not that I ever had any complaints about Eureka releases, but I wasn't glad to read this. At least we could have been notified about this in advance. Including a version that's left as it is would do the trick for me, no matter how you do it, having uncut playing when switching to different region for instance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting all the different textures is excellent! He's a great all rounder. To @chen lung's comment, I believe Sean Longmore actually does use 'real images'. He's a digital artist based in the UK, and from my understanding (based on this interview with him) he starts off with stills or images taken from the movies themselves, and then digitally creates compositions with them and textures (such as making them look painted) to end up with the final piece. I'm a big fan of his work as well, but thought it's worth to clear up he's not actually drawing things like the faces and clothes from scratch. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, I wouldn’t dispute that Sean Longmore bases his illustrations on really images. I just meant I’d rather have actual images instead of reproduced or drawn ones (as much as I appreciate the talent of those involved, I might add). For example, I think the vast majority of films coming from non-boutique studios do this (i.e. it’s fairly unlikely we’d get a drawing of ‘On the Waterfront’ or the latest blockbuster). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
