Guest Markgway Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 The Killer 1972 Is this not sacred knifes of vengeance? and If it is why are they not putting this out I wonder? Yeah, same film, don't know why it never came out? Maybe they just never got round to it? These movies aren't as important to the Chinese as they are to "us".

Member Constable Fu Posted January 17, 2008 Member Share Posted January 17, 2008 The biggest let down is if TO KILL A MASTERMIND is not going to be released. What is the valid reason ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Linn1 Posted January 17, 2008 Member Share Posted January 17, 2008 The ones not getting a release/remaster are because there's problems with the rights (as in co-productions), they had very low interest overall, or the prints were considered too far gone to worry about ie they would need too much work to salvage.

Guest Markgway Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I think it might be worthwhile compiling a list of unavailable original titles that are available in bootleg form (ie DVD-R). A bootleg is better than nothing, especially when Celestial don't care about the films they have and the chances of seeing many titles is remote. I criticize the bootleggers who make a profit, but am under no illusion that sometimes bootlegging among fans is necessary to keep certain titles alive. If anyone wants to post info here I can update the main post as I've really no idea myself what's actually out there. Comments of the version of the DVD-R (is it uncut, subtitled, etc?) and quality (camcorder, VHS, etc) would be of great use to us all, I think...

Guest Markgway Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I don't see why it wouldn't be cool? I'm only talking about titles that aren't legally available. I'm also not advocating buying from bootleg outfits, but rather trading among true collectors. For example: I've seen Deadly Angels - FF, E - but don't know if it was uncut? I could add that one now and more when the info comes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Markgway Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I've seen THE KILLER, I'LL FINALLY KNOCK YOU DOWN, DAD, and PAINTED FACES so these must be available... lol. The Killer was dubbed, full Knock You Down was subbed, Cantonese, I think, probably full. Faces was also Cantonese, subbed, not sure about the ratio. Anyone want to confirm the best versions of these? The UK tape of The Killer is censored, but I think there was an uncut Dutch VHS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
