Don't want to jump the gun but HK Flix lists 'Mandarin' for this film. Is this correct or another mistake like 'Boxers Omen'?

It should be Cantonese. I think all of Lau's films from Dirty Ho onwards are Cantonese - though Martial Arts of Shaolin is a bit of an exception

Hi Linn,

Just was curious as to whether the translations for english subtitles were redone for the Image releases or are they the same as Celestials?

Hope this question wasn't already answered.

He is merely trying to help the situation by providing info/sources (he doesn't work for them), only Image aren't bothering and what's more, their Celestial contract is dumb (so many limits and bitchyness).

Image has released Shaolin Intruders already and has House of Traps coming out in September. Haven't heard anything about the other titles. Well Go USA is another company mentioned on here that will be releasing some Shaw titles.

I'll be hoping a remastered international version of Chinatown Kid is in the works from one of these companies....

A lot of people know about that list, but there are always new people coming to this forum so it is a good idea to repost it. Sadly I think Dragon Dynasty is done releasing older movies. At least that's the way it seems to me:(

Just picked up House of Traps (English dub, yay), Challenge of The Master and The Master today. Well Go, the company that put out 2 Champions, has a 80's fantasy type movie called Journey of The Doomed with a small Kara Hui apperance. It's a strange flick but for those who want them all, eh.

Good stuff.

Amazon has two shaw titles up for pre-order:

Five Deadly Venoms (Release Date: Aug 18, 2009 Studio: Dragon Dynasty)

Flag of Iron (Release Date: Aug 25, 2009 Studio: Tokyo Shock)

Nice to see they are releasing great titles for Region 1.

Yep. For Chinese Super Ninjas - it's slated for October 27, 2009. (Under the title: Five Element Ninjas)

I just posted up a thread which has as many SB releases as I found. Name of thread: Shaw Brothers - North American Releases.

Patiently counting down the days for that one. One of the best SB films ever.

I was reading through this thread, and it seems a few DVDs have been released where the box does not make mention of an English dub, but one does exist on it. From what I have read here, Image's Legendary Weapons of China does have the dub.

Do any of the films of the Four Swords set have an unlisted dub too?

Is there is list of DVDs that have an unlisted English dub?

I prefer the old school dubs, but I can get along with subs too, but I think a "definitive" edition would have everything that can be found, even if it's not the best quality.

I was so mad when I bought NoShame's Last Days of Mussolini, because the case said it had the English dub, along with Italian, and then a message is on the screen saying they didn't include the dub because it was not accurate, that's BS. I wanted to play this film for my father, but he doesn't get on well with subs, and wow, that movie is like reading a novel.
