Member tdb Posted January 4, 2008 Member Share Posted January 4, 2008 All I've heard lately is that HEROES TWO is 'coming soon'. And to just refresh everyone's memory here's the titles MB has licensed: * Chinese Super Ninjas aka Five Elements Ninjas * Heroes Two * The Master * Challenge of the Masters * Martial Club * The Deadly Duo * The Brave Archer * The Ten Tigers of Kwangtung * Black Magic 2 * Flag of Iron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Nakadai Posted January 4, 2008 Member Share Posted January 4, 2008 When is media blasters going to post anything about these, and the Lone Wolf TV series on their site? Sadly they don't seem to keep it updated very well. Needs more user friend format as well, that flash crap is for the birds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Righteous Master Posted January 4, 2008 Member Share Posted January 4, 2008 I hope we see some new MB movies released very soon! We need more than just DD releases to keep us busy. At the rate DD is going, we may see everything on the above MB list released before DD can get another classic kung fu film on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Linn1 Posted January 4, 2008 Member Share Posted January 4, 2008 The idea was to have the first one out in March, but I'm thinking April will be more like it. From then on, it's one a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FiveSwords Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Could someone please remind me...What is the source for these MB Shaws? IVL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member The Amazing Psycho Per Posted January 5, 2008 Member Share Posted January 5, 2008 IVL is a distributor on the same level as Media Blasters... Celestial pictures owns the movies and are the source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FiveSwords Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Sorry, thanks for the correction. What I was trying to ask...Will they will be using the Celestial remasters or will they be doing their own remastering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member The Amazing Psycho Per Posted January 5, 2008 Member Share Posted January 5, 2008 No need to be sorry I'm not sure, maybe Linn can confirm, but I believe since Celestial is doing the remastering job, it should be the same source... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Nakadai Posted January 5, 2008 Member Share Posted January 5, 2008 Sweet. Makes waiting much easier when you have an approximation of a date to look forward to. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Linn1 Posted January 5, 2008 Member Share Posted January 5, 2008 by a long shot, as MB are using High Def masters IVL didn't have access to. Also all of the release will be 16:9 enhanced as well, so expect quality at least as good as Dragon Dynasty and definite upgrades on the IVL releases with no PAL to NTSC provblems.

Member mantis FIST Posted January 6, 2008 Member Share Posted January 6, 2008 Linn, Has it been announced what the 1st title MB is going to release will be? CheerS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Linn1 Posted January 6, 2008 Member Share Posted January 6, 2008 Heroes Two is the first release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member mantis FIST Posted January 6, 2008 Member Share Posted January 6, 2008 ok. That is what I thought. Just wanted to make sure. Hopefully they included the original version of 3 styles of the hung fist. Not the new version which was edited a bit different If I recall correctly. Cheers!

Member The Running Man Posted January 7, 2008 Member Share Posted January 7, 2008 I'm just wondering, did MB just buy just the titles that were announced or did they get more but this is what they have announced for now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Linn1 Posted January 7, 2008 Member Share Posted January 7, 2008 this is what they have for now. If things go well, they'll get more. And please note, the non-remastered titles can be had, but the company getting them has to do the remastering, so they cost quite a bit more. But I wouldn't doubt that certain titles can be had.

Member Chinatown Kid Posted January 7, 2008 Member Share Posted January 7, 2008 Will we ever get a remastered international version of Chinatown Kid or are we stuck with the version Celestial released and forever have to settle for the Southgate version?

Member bobo Posted February 24, 2008 Author Member Share Posted February 24, 2008 3 EVIL MASTERS---> due on may 13/ 2008. its listed on hkflix but no new artwork yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member The Dragon Posted March 24, 2008 Member Share Posted March 24, 2008 Someone stated in another thread that Chinatown Kid has a running time of 114 mins. on another release and on the IVL it's 86 mins. That's a lot of violence cut for this fan's tastes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member clayk Posted March 26, 2008 Member Share Posted March 26, 2008 It looks like amazon has artwork for the Media-Blasters release of The Master: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/514MLhe155L._SS500_.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member venom10463 Posted March 26, 2008 Member Share Posted March 26, 2008 I hope this is not the final cover. They could have included Yuen Tak on the cover, since he's the main star of the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member dewolfeaddict Posted March 26, 2008 Member Share Posted March 26, 2008 I agree, but I also understand. If I recall correctly, my original HK theatrical poster for The Master shows Chen Kuan Tai quite prominently throughout the artwork, although Yuan Te - from what I remember - barely registers if he was even on there at all. Gotta remember that this was Yuan Te's first starring role at Shaws and the studio brass obviously didn't have enough confidence in him to try and sell this flick on his own merits which, besides being Jackie's classmate was not much. I mean, what else had he done up until that point? Despite his overall lack of facetime in the actual film, splashing Chen Kuan Tai's mug on the poster back then and on the dvd case now makes perfectly rational business sense IMO.

Member David Rees Posted March 26, 2008 Member Share Posted March 26, 2008 Is this worth picking up?...i avoided the HK dvd because i dont like "wacky comedy" in my kung fu movies! Get into HD...Amazing Prices ..Click here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member dewolfeaddict Posted March 26, 2008 Member Share Posted March 26, 2008 Oh hell yes! I think so. While there certainly is "wacky comedy" throughout, The Master boasts some of THE best straight ahead shapes/kung fu action you'll ever see in a Shaw film. Trust me, you'll be hooked in immediately by the opening credit fight sequence. Just brilliant. And the finale with Yuan Te squaring off against Wang Lung Wei is in my top 5 classic kung fu fight scenes of all time. Definitely pick this up.
