Guest Chia Ling AKA Judy Lee Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 lol, that completely undermines the whole film! I thought Koreans like melodrama? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Markgway Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Now that's the sort of extra IVL should be putting on their discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iron flag Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 >Chen Kuan tai and Pai Pao's scenes worked perfectly as well as did Ku Feng and Chen Kuan Tai's at Ku's home and during their final battle in the rain.< Amen brother!!!

Guest TheManInWhite Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Are you kidding? You mean the ending I have has been cut?? Inconceivable!! :eek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Not necessarily cut... sometimes Korean versions have different scenes not found in other versions. This is especially true if the film is a KR co-production and they have access to all the footage shot. In some cases they even shoot additional scenes especially.

Guest morgoth Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 You are right Markgway that scene this should defintely be a bonus. It would be the best special feature I could imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kungfusamurai Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Not sure how much of a John Woo fan you are, but I've pointed out before that the scene between Ku Feng, Chen Kuan Tai and the blind girl was blatantly ripped off by John Woo a few years later for The Killer. Interesting. I didn't realize that until now. I really like The Killer. John Woo's melodrama is alright. But I was referring to the moments between Ku Feng and his daughter, not the threesome scene. I found it too cheesy. KFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sevenhooks Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Thanks for those screen shots spannick! Most definitely need to see this as a DVD extra. But knowing ILV, we're more likely to see this ending INSTEAD of the ending we all know - ala Chinatown Kid!! Just kidding, but you KNOW with our luck re: these releases, NOTHING they would do would surprise me. Not in the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 That footage may rest with the Korean distributors. It's possible that Celestial don't even have it if it was never a part of the Chinese or international releases. It would take an independent specialist to track down that footage - if it even still exists on film or find an original tape and rip it like has been done for Police Story with the Japanese LD extra scenes. I wouldn't get your hopes up at any rate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spannick Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 there's more other Footage during the Movie with some most likely Korean Guy looking for something, including additional Fight Scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Yeah, that's quite common for KR co-productions. Local talent appearing in extra footage exclusively shot for the local market. Unless you have an original KR release the chances of seeing any of this stuff is extremely low. The Vengeance DVD of The Great Massacre includes the KR ending for that film, which is a great bonus. The Eastern Heroes DVD of Hitman in the Hand of Buddha has an entire KR workprint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Linn1 Posted December 17, 2006 Member Share Posted December 17, 2006 unlike most HK companies, the Shaws kept pretty tight leashes on their stuff done in Korea and Taiwan, so there's a much better chance they might have the footage from the few Korean productions.

Guest Markgway Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 One thing to mention, unlike most HK companies, the Shaws kept pretty tight leashes on their stuff done in Korea and Taiwan, so there's a much better chance they might have the footage from the few Korean productions. That's good news, but will we see any of it regardless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kungfusamurai Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Well, if Celestial doesn't include it on their DVD release, perhaps Linn could convince Image to put it on their release (if they've acquired the rights to the film)?

Guest BKarza Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Amazing. It's so clear. Now the tape was actually good qualit, with a good full color. This is so clear. All of the night scenes, which look great, are much more easily seen now. They really did it up in that studio with the sets. Wonderfully shot as well. Someone was Japanese. Cinematographer or action director(weapon style and way used). It shows as it has a different vibe to it than other Shaws. This is a film and not a kung fu flick. Starts differently than the tape, as that had a colorful background shown while the credits were shown. This has a white background with black letters shown in a caligraphy type style. None of the credits are shown with an english equivalent save Mona Fong and the director's name. Will actually watch it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Brigadier Chow Posted June 13, 2007 Member Share Posted June 13, 2007 That was action director Shakamura Yashiyusha aka Luk Chuen. He also acted in movies as well. Though he was japanese he put in all his work in Hong Kong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vengeanceofhumanlanterns Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Mine has just landed as well. Friday is the day! The night scenes on the tape and the boot were just so bad, but I knew this version was gonna be so good. Can't wait. Maybe I'll watch it Thursday night instead.

Guest peringaten Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I've been meaning to read this thread since it was first going, but have avoided reading any posts in here for fear of this film being spoilt for me... just want to save it from falling off the board before I can order this film... soon as some cash clears I'm grabbing this, popping a bit in the chest and heading back in here to see if I was right in assuming there was some fuss about the flick in this thread...

Guest kungfusamurai Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I have the movie on the old Martial Arts Video label. I didn't think the movie was all that great. Hopefully the widescreen will change my opinion of it! KFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a widescreen copy from Germany of this and it's been wonderful. But now it will be retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
