Member venoms5 Posted April 21, 2008 Member Share Posted April 21, 2008 I was going to bid on a set of lobby stills but a guy in Germany on ebay under the name indierap got them as there was many other items I wanted more. I think he posts here as well. He contacted me via ebay once or twice I assume to possibly sell some of his items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member falkor Posted May 15, 2009 Author Member Share Posted May 15, 2009 Did you manage to save the thumbnails from the auction? Or has anyone got a Southern Screens article at least? Just some stills to show whether Reckless Cricket is traditional and what kind of martial arts styles could be contained... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next month, I'll be scanning '78 runs for HKMN & Cinemart. If I see anything, I'll let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member falkor Posted May 15, 2009 Author Member Share Posted May 15, 2009 thanks teako; that would be much appreciated! Look forward to it... hopefully something will turn up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member falkor Posted May 19, 2009 Author Member Share Posted May 19, 2009 Bad news... there is now very good reason to believe that Reckless Cricket was, unfortunately, never featured in Southern Screens. That is only an educated guess, and I could be wrong. However, if my man manages to come through then we might finally get a glimpse of this one bit (via a lobby card) that all but tails To Kill A Mastermind on the most wanted list.

Member falkor Posted May 20, 2009 Author Member Share Posted May 20, 2009 Reckless Cricket Heaven!!! I'll let out some stills cause Terry went to all that effort, which of course is much appreciated. I can now see it would have been hard to spot just by flicking through the mags without an English title or anything as spectacular as what I'm about to show you from one of the fight scenes. All Shaw Brothers fans behold! Thanks and credit goes out to Toby Russell for the inconvenient task of having to go through his massive pile of lobby cards--possibly damaging a few edges and corners--to scan this; it was dedicated to me, but I am now dedicating it to teako170 for all his hard work over the years in helping out many SB fans on this forum (including myself). These colour stills should go a long way in providing a more balanced mental picture of a major unreleased Shaw piece: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member peringaten Posted May 20, 2009 Member Share Posted May 20, 2009 Great stuff. Shame I probably might never see it. Hopefully it's better than Kuei Chih Hung's other kung effort Coward Bastard, although I thought that one was tasty, despite seeing why it might not be to everyone's tastes. He did a good job directing Hon Gwok in Criminals' Deaf Mute Killer; liked the swinging truck stunt & experimental nature of that one, would be good to see them working together again, demonstrating those acrobatic skills I hear Hon Gwok's packing. But, ah well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member greenfan Posted May 21, 2009 Member Share Posted May 21, 2009 Coward Bastard was almost total ass. The one saving grace was Yuen Wah's performance in the action scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
