Guest teako170 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Oh man. Is that a whack title or what?? Most know this one as "Snake In Eagle's Shadow 3" or "Battle Of Shaolin" Pretty decent flick with Wong Tao, Angela Mao and Lo Lieh. You know for a chap who supposedly isn't a martial artist, Lieh certainly looks the part in the films he has made. Don't want to ruin that ending but ... ouch! Here's a little taste of Angie doing her thing... p6v3Q4j0Ix0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oldeschool17 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Why does Wu Tang do some lame ass shit like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Von Humboldt Fleischer Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I thought it was usually called BANDITS, PROSTITUTES AND SILVER. I quite liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shaolinblade Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 This is one of my favourite non shaw lo lieh flicks.. Got to love his evil grin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Whirlwind Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Pretty good film this.Wong Tao showed some nice kicks & the fights were all good especially at the end.I always thought the ending was a bit abrupt & maybe there was something missing.I was expecting the little kid to help out like it was suggested but he never showed up. Bandits,Prostitiutes & Silver is the most fitting title I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I thought it was usually called BANDITS, PROSTITUTES AND SILVER. That's the original title from what I can gather. It may have been released in HK as The Damned? But those are the two main titles, I wouldn't bother with any of the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kungfood Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 The version released by Crash Cinema, oddly titled Battle of Shaolin, has the ending part cut off, at least it is on mine. The Ho's, Thugs and Scrillah version has the whole movie except parts of the beginning, so Wu Tang could put their stupid new "title" to it. I'd like to just see it released fully remastered and kept whole and uncut. When I first saw it in '82, it was titled The Damned. IMO, one of Wang Tao's better acting roles, and of course, one more great villainous role in Lo Lieh's belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vengeanceofhumanlanterns Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 "The version released by Crash Cinema, oddly titled Battle of Shaolin," Different flick right there. Bandits, Prostitutes, and Silver aka etc., is a completely different film from Battle Of Shaolin. You may be mixin sumthin up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of at least 5 different titles for the same film. It can get a bit confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Linn1 Posted November 21, 2007 Member Share Posted November 21, 2007 The Crash version is missing the last bit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kungfood Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I know that Crash Cinema used the title Battle of Shaolin for their release of Bandits, Prostitutes and Silver. But I'm certain there's probably a few films with "Battle of Shaolin" as the title. But Crash's version was copied from a partly broken, or cut-off (at the end) film. It was an inappropriate title to tack onto it, because it has nothing at all to do with the Shaolin temple or monks. The film itself stands well enough on its own.

Guest Markgway Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 The HKFA lists the film under BANDITS, PROSTITUTES, & SILVER and the only Chinese poster I could find also has that title. Many sites do list the film as THE DAMNED though so it must've played somewhere as that. It's a HK film so I'm inclined to go with the HKFA on this one.

Member thedirtytiger Posted October 20, 2008 Member Share Posted October 20, 2008 My poster for it says The Damned, that is the original title I am sure of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Can you post an image of your poster, DT? What makes you think The Damned is the original title and why do you think the HKFA lists the 'Bandits...' title?

Member thedirtytiger Posted October 21, 2008 Member Share Posted October 21, 2008 Can you post an image of your poster, DT? I have the Thai poster and I have a pic of the HK poster and both say The Damned. That is the actual title. When Ocean Shores released it, they changed the title to Bandits Prostitutes And Silver which is an alternate translation of the headline in the Cinemart article.

Guest Markgway Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I have the Thai poster and I have a pic of the HK poster and both say The Damned. Any chance of posting it? I'll post the BANDITS one in a minute. That is the actual title. When Ocean Shores released it, they changed the title to Bandits Prostitutes And Silver which is an alternate translation of the headline in the Cinemart article. You're saying BANDITS is an Ocean Shores re-title? Can I ask what makes you think that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Markgway Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Lol... now THAT is interesting. The posters are almost identical except for the titles (English and Chinese) and use of colours. Both are clearly the genuine article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member thedirtytiger Posted October 29, 2008 Member Share Posted October 29, 2008 You'll notice that the chinese titles are also different. Ocean Shores retitled a lot of their releases which is why I think they changed the name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Yes, I mentioned that both titles were different - the BANDITS title is closer to the working title though. How can you tell which of the two (if any) has been "changed" by Ocean Shores? Also I've never heard of OS going to the extent of replicating an original poster like that; unless you know different? I'm not saying you're wrong, Tiger. I just wonder what evidence makes you SO certain The Damned is the ORIGINAL release title? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
