Guest peringaten Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 That would be an aka for Revenge Of The Corpse. What a great poster that one has: Another one I'm desperate to see - why do these Sun Chung flicks' fates hang in the balance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ivy Ling Po Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 What a great poster! Why is it not going to be remastered and released by Celestial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tino Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 That looks like a kick ass movie! Who's the dildo at celestial in charge of what will or will not be released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 5th Yang Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Looks like a killer movie. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest deliriocaldo Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 It's not on the list of the titles celestial is still going to remaster which was posted here (by Ivy Ling Po?) What I don't understand is why Celestial should stop after they're through with that films... It is said that horror and exploitation stuff is doing badly concerning sales numbers, but (1) celestial has already acquired the rights for those films, and (2) they have in-house capabilities to remaster them. And since bad sales numbers are better than no sales at all (and a digital restoration facility that lies idle), it would be really stupid not to remaster the whole library they acquired... Maybe the materials have deterorirated? But a lot of the films that got axed are post 1975, so that's unlikely, too... I really don't have any clue why they should follow a strategy of not putting out the whole stuff they acquired.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Linn1 Posted May 12, 2007 Member Share Posted May 12, 2007 And since bad sales numbers are better than no sales at all (and a digital restoration facility that lies idle), it would be really stupid not to remaster the whole library they acquired... Maybe the materials have deterorirated? That's exactly right, with the exception of a handful of films that were damaged or the like, they've remastered everything. But IVL are not releasing all the horror titles because they don't make money. It has nothing to do with Celestial not wanting to put them out.

Guest tino Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I wish the celestial folks were passionate about these films and not just about the money then we would see them all released. Oh well, at least we will still get some great ones released before they call it quits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
