I bought mines from Zaavi, depending on how fast the shipping here is I might watch all the movies on the streaming service before it gets delivered 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, that's the delay date Arrow already set themselves. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member lilmanjs Posted December 15, 2021 Member Share Posted December 15, 2021 Sorry for the double post, but am I the only one to get a shipping email from DiabolikDVD? Sounds a bit early for the 28th release date here in the USA, but I'm happy to see it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member OpiumKungFuCracker Posted December 15, 2021 Member Share Posted December 15, 2021 Crap, I knew I shouldn't order from Zavvi, lol. I love diabolik, yeah they ship their items pretty fast and sometimes like others have posted here, even before the release date. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member FightingFool Posted December 16, 2021 Member Share Posted December 16, 2021 I am not jealous to you guys who got it/got shipping notice(or maybe little bit). At least relief item does exists. But still kinda sucks for some who pre-ordered it 1st day still not shipped...it is not good policy by arrow and at least not encourage to pre-order from them again 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Drunken Monk Posted December 16, 2021 Author Member Share Posted December 16, 2021 I’ve heard a few people say there are some glaring mistakes in the accompany book as well as on the Five Deadly Venoms commentary. At one point, it’s said that Executioners from Shaolin was released as Master Killer in the States. It also mentions that Lau Kar Leung worked on Shaolin Temple. This is just what I’ve heard. I haven’t received by set yet. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without tracking# I cannot fill advance vat and may take 2-3 weeks before actually get item..I do not blame it fully on arrow..but kinda frustrating to notice brick and mortar store over here could get it maybe beginning of next week... Tho I pre-order so few things did forget brick and mortar stores often get new stuff often very early.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t received by set yet. I've not received my set to check the book yet, but can confirm the commentary track is riddled with errors, all the ones you mention are sadly accurate, as well as indicating Wei Pai starred in Disciples of the 36th Chamber, and that that movie also appears on the boxset itself ( nope and nope), that Shaw Bros 'folded' in the early 80's, that Executioners of Shaolin is a Venom Mob movie and on and on. The track also appears to borrow heavily from the old Senses of Cinema article on Chang Cheh and leans HARD into sexual and gender political and critical studies. I found it a chore at best, borderline disrespectful at worst. I wish we could have had Tony Rayns, Frank Djeng or Arne and Big Mike Leeder on commentary duties instead. Hang onto your old Dragon Dynasty DVD's and Bluray's for the commentary track on it, as it's a much better companion to the movie that the one on this set. It's a shame really, the film deserved way better and the overall quality of the extras on the boxset is extremely high, The commentary track by forum member @teako170 on the Chinatown Kid is absolutely fantastic. As are all the video extra provided by Frederic Ambroisine. The Venoms commentary is the only real let down. Very curious to see the book. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
