Perhaps they are gauging sales of the complete collection first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Chemical Lemon Posted August 30 Member Share Posted August 30 Excited about the new Arrow restorations from the negatives. Excited about the additional dirty footage from Clans of Intrigue. Excited that the supplements disc has an HD version of Killer Constable with the SD Korean scenes added in place. A little uncertain about the fact no mention was made of the additional footage for avenging Eagle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member AslanBey Posted August 30 Member Share Posted August 30 (edited) So Shawscope Vol. 3 is also a KungFu boxset? It was said that it could be more non-martial arts. I only know a 4-5 movies in this set. Are all of the movies kungfu/martial arts or are there any movies like "mighty peking man" from the first set?

Member Drunken Monk Posted August 30 Author Member Share Posted August 30 Have they announced that The Avenging Eagle will be totally uncut? I have the German Blu-ray (in the ugly looking gold case) and that inserts the footage in SD, but it would be awesome if this version was fully uncut.

All the films would fall under action/martial arts, some with more fantastical elements than others, except for maybe Intimate Confessions of a Chinese Courtesan (which still has action in it, but is not strictly an action film). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member De Ming Li Posted August 31 Member Share Posted August 31 Could someone describe the previously unreleased explicit scenes from Clans of Intrigue? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks My memory is pretty shady but I remember there was some HLA (Hot Lesbian Action) that was censored -- just kidding! I believe it was just a kissing scene between Nora Miao and Betty Pei-ti & some full frontal in a bathing scene also involving Betty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member clanarchy Posted August 31 Member Share Posted August 31 Nice to see a couple of Tony Rayns commentaries on here, wish he did some for the Eureka and 88 releases too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Knetan Posted August 31 Member Share Posted August 31 I like Tony Rayns' video pieces a lot, and he has the good instinct to, when he does commentaries, to often speak over specific scenes only. If he material for a feature, like Come Drink With Me, cool. But if there's only an hour or 45 minutes to do good notes on a Lau Kar-Leung movie, then that's sensible. And you never have to sit through the gaps in the recording but these discs are authored to automatically skip ahead to next chunk of talking. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Knetan Posted Friday at 05:50 AM Member Share Posted Friday at 05:50 AM And I just finished Tony's 82 minute video on Bruce Lee's life, on the Fist Of Fury disc. Exceptional and sadly don't hear many people talking about either these videos or his select scene commentaries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, as a Bruce Lee nerd, he did have some errors in his information and kind of follows the popular narrative of Lee's journey. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
