Member DiP Posted November 11, 2023 Member Share Posted November 11, 2023 Got a notification from Arrow Films a few days ago confirming that my separate 4K copies of The Big Boss, Fist of Fury, and The Way of the Dragon have been dispatched. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member bickle14 Posted November 13, 2023 Member Share Posted November 13, 2023 (edited) Besides the booklet, is there any major features not included on the individual Bruce releases that were in the box set?

Member ShawAngela Posted November 14, 2023 Member Share Posted November 14, 2023 Regarding the individual boxsets made from the first Shawscope, does anyone can tell us if each movie has its case, please ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half the disc is covered, half not, for easier removal from the page. Nine discs, so 9 fat pages in an inch+ thick book. Plus a separate booklet with pictures and text, in the boxset. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, but I actually talked about the four mini boxsets they recently released. I have the two giga boxsets you describe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick&mortar store got them week ago but haven`t been there(I go probably tomorrow and can tell is someone has not nailed it).. From this pic can take a guess no separate cases, boxes of 3&4 discs and bottom/top loadable slipcase.

I just think these slips look amazing. I am a sucker for beautiful artwork on a boutique label slipcover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member starschwar Posted February 15 Member Share Posted February 15 A very interesting detail in the "wish list" segment: Spoiler Hard Boiled is featured. Along with a clip from the movie. Now, if Arrow can get clearance to show a snippet of the movie in their little poll video... makes one wonder what other rights can be obtained from these notoriously hard-to-license John Woo classics... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Yihetuan Posted April 3 Member Share Posted April 3 I know some missed out on the 4K UHD box set & it's OOP and used copies are going for crazy prices on eBay. But Grindhouse has a dented box set for sale right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Graeme Of Death Posted April 8 Member Share Posted April 8 Bought the Shawscope 2 boxset, £70 on the sale. Started working my way through them. Might be a bit of kung fu heresy here but I remember The 36th Chamber of Shaolin being better. The highlight really is the middle section with all the mad training. Watched Return to the 36th Chamber next and it really is one LKL worst. Gordon Liu is so irritating in it. There's a good extra on it, Citizen Shaw, which is an old French TV program about the Shaw Brothers studio. Lvoed the bit where it shows all the folk in the room recording the fighting sound effects 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Knetan Posted April 8 Member Share Posted April 8 Love Return To The 36th Chamber. It's expected Shaw's was going to make a sequel and respond to the growing kung fu-comedy trend. But the thing that gets me is the setup of a world where Monk San Te has made an impact to the point imposters are coming out of the woodwork and that cues up a delightful, comedic performance by Liu and some clever gags. Scaffolding kung-fu for the win. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
