Anyone have The Victim from the Asia Line releases? Is it worth an upgrade over this horrendous DVD?

John Liu flick is "dragon fighter". There is UK dvd already and if recall right it is widescreen but maybe PQ of forthcoming Asia Line disc is better.

It`s decent movie although not most action packed Liu...

[saltysam]

I know the John Liu flick as Struggle Through Death,I already have a German hartbox DVD of it,likely this will use the same wide-screen print

Notice the German Shaw Bros Collection label have released the Chinatown Kid and The Kid With The Golden Arms which I've been after for a while.

What are they audio and subtitle options on all of these, I'm assuming they'll all be the same. Is it just a German dub?

is this the version?

Yup bought and watched them both. Both decent transfers with English subs

[kevenzz]

So none of these discs are new transfer… it's just re-release.

Cantonen Iron Kung Fu, 10 Brothers of Shaolin and Struggle Through Death I already have the german widescreen dvds.

Has Karado The Hong Kong Cat been released previously?

[kevenzz]

I'm not familiar with that Karado movie but there exist this decent widescreen print… I don't know from which dvd is it from.

Cantonen Iron Kung Fu, 10 Brothers of Shaolin

😲...Wasn`t aware of german release exists(too expensive now at amazon), crash cinema is fullscreen=no use. Had this on vhs, brilliant indie old skool flick. Iron Kung Fu has good reputation but 10 brothers makes this day 1 purchase.

Yes, it has been released by NEW Entertainment under the German title, Ling Fu - Der Karate-Killer des Todes. Also note that even though it is listed as Region2, it is in fact region free according to spannick.

yes it was released maybe 8 years ago on those expensive Megamax dvds.

https://www.amazon.de/Die-10-Siegreichen-Shaolin-Wendecover/dp/B0050HY38I/

[spannick]

the previous NEW / Megamax Movies are FSK (age restricitions) friendly now and cheaper, that should be the only real difference. none will ever be Region encoded.

Has an original English dub for Karado ever surfaced - i.e the one from the Hallmark US release. Only dub I've heard is the Ocean Shores one from the 80s.

[saltysam]

Asia line Vol. 26 coming

 

 

[ShawAngela]

Is it another release for The victim ?

[saltysam]

Don't think it's the Victim,it's a retitling of another movie I reckon.

[Drunken Monk]

Odd Couple, it looks like.

[saltysam]

I thought Odd Couple but thought that was a Fortune Star title that Asia line would be unlikely to have rights to

I agree with @Drunken Monk, it looks like ODD COUPLE (1979) to me.

[saltysam]

If it is,easy pass,I will stick with the hkl dvd and Japanese bd-r

Picked up the new Asia Line release of Chen Sing's Black Panther in the hope the bonus movie Tough Guys had english audio- it doesn't and even worse the advertised english audio option for Black Panther is not on there, both movies are german only. Strange as it's the same print as the New Entertainment release, even down to the same amount of chapter breaks but they've removed the english and mandarin audio. Doesn't bode well for any future releases being english friendly. i'm returning to amazon for a refund.
