Does anyone know what SB titles DD plan on releasing besides the four amazing ones that just came out? I would like to know so I can hold off on the ones I buy from celestial because I would prefer to own the DD versions especially if they are all gonna be like the previous releases.

I know there is a SB title coming out in November on their website listed as "Quentin Tarantino presents The Shaw Brothers Collection" Does anyone know which titles will be included in this?

I stumbled upon this in Wikipedia!

According to the official press release, the following titles are expected to appear under the Dragon Dynasty label:

Shaw Brothers Studio Titles

Come Drink With Me

The 8 Diagram Pole Fighter

Heroes Of The East

Martial-Arts Of Shaolin

Question is: will COME DRINK WITH ME have an English dub as well?

Several other '60s films did including ONE ARMED SWORDSMAN, TRAIL OF THE BROKEN BLADE, THE BELLS OF DEATH, and TWELVE GOLD MEDALLIONS, so it will be something to look forward to seeing in the future! ;)

Intersting! I doubt CDWM will have an english dub as I don't beleive it even exists but who knows what DD have up there sleeves. Perhaps they will do their own dub which may not be as good as the classic but it would be interesting. Thanks !

That's 4 great titles and i was totally expecting 8 Diagram for the November batch. I also suspected CDWM could be there.

While the other 2 are great, i'm very surprised there's no Venoms titles yet. LKL titles were already represented twice in the first batch so i was pretty confident at least one if not all 3 of these would be in the next batch: 5 Venoms, Crippled Avengers, Avenging Eagle.

No Venoms yet, same for Sun Chung. It would have been perfect timing to have these at the end of the year. Hope the 4 titles listed isn't the definitive list for November...even though i'll still buy all 4.

i wouldnt necessarily gauge that as what the secretive november batch will be, considering wikipedia info can be entered and changed by anybody. Not to say those wont be released, just id rather here an official statement from dragon dynasty not some speculation off of wikipedia or internet forums.

I got this message from Bey Logan today-

"What is it with this film? Everyone is asking me about it this week! I'll see what I can dig up. Thanks for the info! - Bey"

I did not think this would amount to anything.

But yiou never know.

What if he talks Celestial into releasing To Kill A Mastermind.

There is always hope.

Selective quotation is an old trick. I seem to remember reading about some movie - I think one of those pompous quasi-Biblical Victor Mature-type stinkburgers - which had been unfavourably reviewed by someone who had said "destroying the negative of this film would be a boon to mankind". Needless to say, the quotation on the poster simply read "A BOON TO MANKIND".

I hated the commentary. It seemed disorganised, unimaginative, and uninformed. I didn't mind the swearing so much, but how many times did they do that thing where they try to sound "black"? It was embarrassing, every ten minutes Tarantino or one of those indistinguishable dorks going "dayummm". And the endless comparisons to inevitably American movies, to inevitably American studios and stars.

I'd rather listen to ninety minutes of Bey Logan flossing his teeth than listen to that again.

One of my fave examples was when Total Film, a UK film mag, gave a mediocre review for Rasor Blade Smile and yet a couple of pages later was the poster for the film, sporting a complimentary blurb from Total Film that had been taken from a preview report

One of the New York Times reviewers once said that Bruce Lee looked like "Alain Delon after a lot of bee stings"

Does anyone have a clue as to what DD will be featuring for their November Tarantino Presents SB collection? I'm hoping that at least one title will be Venoms.

In terms of Venoms titles, which would you like to see in order? Presuming they have the rights to these, I would like to see (as a top 5):

- Five Venoms

- Crippled Avengers

- Kid with the Golden Arm

- Invincible Shaolin

- Chinatown Kid

I think the 4 titles did come up at some point, no?

I was also expecting 2 of them to be Venoms titles but if i remember none of the 4 actually is a V flick...

I sure hope one of the titles they release is the international version of Chinatown Kid, the wimpy alternate version Celestial/IVL released just doesn't cut it. Give us the violent, hard ass version we all know and love in remastered glory! 8)

Given the grindhouse roots, it'd make sense for a US distributor to go for titles like The Killer. Did Celestial remaster The Champion?

As for one Celestial hasn't released yet, I would like to see DD put out Deadly Angels as well, one of the first kung fu girls with guns flicks, with the incredibly hot Evelyne Kraft and Da Na! Tony Liu busts out some decent fighting in this too....
