Member The Dragon Posted February 8, 2008 Member Share Posted February 8, 2008 What's the low down on Duel Of Karate? Anyone know if this is any good at all? It looks as if it's a basher, made by the same people who put out Cub Tiger From Kwangtung. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted February 8, 2008 Member Share Posted February 8, 2008 I haven't heard anybodies opinions on Duel either. I've read a few things (one thing from you Dragon) about King of Fists and Dollars and Chinese godfather, but nothing on Duel of Karate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member NoNiceTime Posted February 8, 2008 Member Share Posted February 8, 2008 Duel of Karate is one of the worst KF movies I've ever seen. Every aspect of this film is really bad. Fights are a joke, acting isnt that good and the wirework/trampoline stunts are laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member HAZ Posted February 13, 2008 Member Share Posted February 13, 2008 The Elimination Pursuit DVD arrived from London today factory sealed BUT without a slipcase. I bet the Region 1 DVD has one. I think it depends on what pressing or what store you're buying from. I've seen many a rarescope for sale without slip case & sealed, but other vendors have the same disc with a slip case. Then there's the white DVD boxes & the black ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Winfred Posted February 13, 2008 Member Share Posted February 13, 2008 My copy was bought from Amazon.com.uk which gave me a 50% discount off the list price. It is the only Rarescope on sale so I guess this title is not selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member HAZ Posted February 13, 2008 Member Share Posted February 13, 2008 The first 4/5 releases I bought came with slipcases, after that, nothing. My first black case was "Drunken Dragon". I don't think that came with a slipcase. And I've seen Love & Sword with a slipcase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member dMG Posted February 13, 2008 Member Share Posted February 13, 2008 I don't think there's a connection between box color and slipcases. I have releases with slipcases and both black and white boxes. (we are referring to the actual case her and not the slip right? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Winfred Posted February 15, 2008 Member Share Posted February 15, 2008 Previewed a few scenes of The Elimination Pursuit DVD. The appalling picture quality is a SHOCK to the system after the remastered Celestials but it is good to be able to view this rare movie. I have pre-ordered Amazons vs Supermen. We must support Rarescope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Killer Meteor Posted February 15, 2008 Member Share Posted February 15, 2008 I actually had less of a problem with ELimination than Along Came A Tiger. I can take old, worn, purple prints but not excessive DVNR and edge enhancement like what was on ACAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member froffeecoffee Posted February 22, 2008 Member Share Posted February 22, 2008 Came across this Rarescope release of The Cavalier at my local used DVD store. Was wondering if it would be a good purchase. Is the movie any good? What is the quality of this version. Many thanks for any helpful replies.

Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted February 22, 2008 Member Share Posted February 22, 2008 Decent at best. Nice to see Shaking Eagle in a lead role, but the kung isn't that great. Doris Lung gets to show off a bit at the beginning, but the only other good fight I remember is with Choi Wang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member venoms5 Posted February 22, 2008 Member Share Posted February 22, 2008 Is this the Joseph Kuo one with Lo Lieh where he bites a guys finger off then spits it at him and it impales his throat? And an old man and his daughter chase the hero around the whole movie to marry her after besting her in a contest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted February 22, 2008 Member Share Posted February 22, 2008 Yeah that's the plot. The old guy tries to get Sze Ma Lung to marry is daughter. It gets old fast. I don't remember that biting the finger off part but I will take your word for it since I don't feel like watching the movie again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member fabhui Posted February 22, 2008 Member Share Posted February 22, 2008 Didn't even know Rarescope had put this out on DVD. Anyone got a link to it please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member venoms5 Posted February 23, 2008 Member Share Posted February 23, 2008 Yeah, this was on Unicorn Video I think and Lo Lieh shows up halfway through as a white haired villain. He does that emotional kung fu thing at the end. I think he fights a lot of people all at once too. The finger biting shot had some chinese song playing over the soundtrack. I remember a little boy held captive being stabbed with spears and one of the guys goes crazy and lunges his fingers at Lo Lieh who bites it off then spits it at him and it punctures his throat. What's funny is he spits the finger out rather lazily and it looks like it falls to the ground. I remember liking it pretty good. I also remember a restaurant fight where one guy gets pinned against the second floor and starts pissing wildly all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Grady-San Posted February 23, 2008 Member Share Posted February 23, 2008 Rarescope released this!?? How did this slip under my radar,yes please post a link. Or hell even a screenshot of the cover. I am curious is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member kungfusamurai Posted February 23, 2008 Member Share Posted February 23, 2008 Didn't Mei Ah or some other HK company put this out on DVD? I think it might have been widescreen, but the image suffered from some artifacting (ghosting?). How's the quality on the rarescope release?
