Guest Iron Boat Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I am quite happy with my English dubbed Uncut but unfortunately not widescreen version of Super Ninja's....I dont think I would want to see it without the dubbing, its so funny dubbed.

Guest W Hong Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I was about to tell you guys about some news that has something to do w/ some possible film cans that could have film reels of "Five Element Ninjas", other Shaw movies, H.K. movies, etc. However, that was before I read Linn1's reply about "FEN" having been sold to Celestial, so his reply told you to not worry about a DVD of that incredible, classic Shaw movie. But in case you're still interested, I thought I'd still tell about it. There were some reports that the Sing Lee Movie Theatre in L.A. Chinatown was going to be re-opened by Mr. Tarantino. I was able to ask him about it at the Hollywood premiere for "Hero", and he said that the Sing Lee Theatre is "coming soon". And in the Downtown News newspaper(from around 2003), it said that the Sing Lee had a very big collection of film cans of old HK movies and Chinese movies, with some of them possibly being rare movies. The article also said that Tarantino, w/ his assistants' help, was interested in restoring these prints. So these prints may or may not include some old Shaw movies. But after what Linn1 said, that might not matter except maybe for people who are interested in seeing some of those possibly rare HK and Chinese movies. And when I last checked, the former Sing Lee(now King Hing Theatre) still hasn't re-opened. It is, however, possible to see through the doors and notice the stack of HK film cans against the wall. Also, when I called the Chinatown B.I.D.(about 2 or 3 months ago), the latest news was that this theatre was still renovating. So I don't know if any of you would still be interested in all of this because like I said, Linn1 already said that Celestial is going to take care of the restored Shaw DVD's(including FEN).

Guest vengeanceofhumanlanterns Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 "The films are not somewhere with people randomly putting out cigars on them and laughing in an evil tone as they burn Tiger Boy frame by frame in a nearby fire. Super Ninjas was sold to Celestial as part of the Shaw Brothers deal. If you don't see a release from IVL (and this goes for all the releases thought to be not coming from IVL, horror fans I'm talking to you!) you'll see it somewhere else. Relax. Go eat lunch at a nice restaurant and enjoy life." Well put Linn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jmungus Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 havent watched 5EN in some years, but its the basic structure of both movies im referring to. starts off at point a to introduce everyone and everything, moves straight on to point b, the "center" of both movies (in MC they seek refuge to practise their fu there and do all the conspiring stuff; in 5EN, the location is also some sort of a refuge/fort they would move out to engage in the various fights; both these "center locations" become subject to a siege/attack*. hmm, if i didnt disregard any significant structural elements, they re pretty much the same if u ask me :\ *spoiler: i remember when i watched 5EN for the first time (ca. 1987/88 ), it was the birth of me totally hating the fact 'this wicked dude' (lo meng) had to die early and this irritating fact has been accompanying me ever since :b (even tho ive seen him suffer an early death before; first venoms movie i ever saw was killer army in ca 1985; despite him surviving the majority of the flick (yay!), hes not the last man standing either. rip lo meng characters meeting early deaths` ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HAZ74 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Greetings, y'all! I just dl'ed Five Element Ninja. I'll post some screen caps cause I'm curious to know what version I have & how it compares to others out there. I watched the 1st 5 minutes & it was pretty good already. If I end up digging this, I'll want a better copy; any leads on where I should check? rarekungmovies.com looks good. Has anyone bought their subbed Five Element Ninja DVD? peace h Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Iron Boat Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Well you are not going to find a widescreen version so dont hurt yourself searching for one...the best you can do is try to get an uncut version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HAZ74 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Hi, Here are some screen caps of the version I dl'ed. The Title screen looks different than others I've seen. I'd still be curious to see the subbed version. peace h Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mr HKmovie Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 The "widescreen" Chinese version is actually full screen, but the image was squeezed in order to be full screen. Sort of like the Ocean shores videos, but squeezed even more so, making the picture obviously distorted. I threw my video away years ago. But now I have a widescreen TV, so I wish I still had the video. You can stretch it back out on a widescreen TV and probably have a good widescreen image. The picture quality wasn't that good though. Maybe this new seller has managed to somehow stretch the picture back out into a widescreen image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HAZ74 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Hi Mr HKmovie, Thanks for the knowledge. Would you happen to know what version the screen caps above are from? The title font looks different from those I've seen on-line. Thanks HAZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest venomchamber Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 IT IS NOT MISSING! IT IS INDEED LISTED IN THEIR CATALOG WITH THE SAME COLOR STILL OF CHAO KUO WITH HIS ENTRAILS HANGING DOWN FROM HIS GROIN AS THE OLD DRAGON VIDEO COVER! IT IS TITLED FIVE ELEMENTS NINJAS IN THEIR MARTIAL-ARTS SECTION. I SUSPECT THEY ARE PROBABLY SAVING IT AS THEIR FINAL RELEASE SOMETIME IN 08. NO SIGN OF TO KILL A MASTERMIND ANYWHERE THOUGH. THAT'S A PITIFUL SHAME. DAMN. oh well, ATLEAST WE GOT THIS MUCH FROM THEM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Iron Boat Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Why is every one so bent out of shape, I mean their are two dubbed versions that have been out for years that are pretty good. One of them is even uncut, (I have it of course) as in you will see the nude female ninja. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
