Member Shaolin Patriot Posted June 17, 2008 Member Share Posted June 17, 2008 It's been awhile since we've heard any news on the BCI Shaw titles. Does anyone (Mike Leeder, gfanikf, etc.) know when we'll see the first release and what BCI has in the way of special features? They've got 15 great titles on their slate. Any news would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member magicpoe Posted June 17, 2008 Member Share Posted June 17, 2008 I have 2 CD's full of extras for their releases from my collection ready if I could only get a representative from BCI to contact me. I sent Mike Leeder a message here on the forum and asked some other forum members to get the word out for me also. If anyone associated with BCI is reading this, ie someone on BCI's payroll, please contact me here on the forum. Nice extras too. Nice lobby card sets scanned at 600DPI, HIGH QUALITY STILLS, HIGH QUALITY poster scans. Some things I bought for my collection specifically for these releases.

Member DAJIZZARIZZA Posted June 21, 2008 Member Share Posted June 21, 2008 ok,.. nice to know. so far i enjoyed everything associated with bci i hope you guys also focus on the Shaw Brothers movies that were NOT released by celestial, like "To Kill A Mastermind" and "Tiger Boy" also ,.. i hope the english dub or "AMERICAN" dub is not slow and without feeling as well as not too animated like comical. may sound funny ,.. but have you guys ever thought of having chinese voice actors do the american dubbing,.. a new spin to make it sound authentic ? just a thought. take care and welcome Cliff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member razorclam Posted June 21, 2008 Member Share Posted June 21, 2008 Cliff, Thanks for sharing info with us. Are the BCI titles going to have commentaries? I've noticed other BCI titles with commentaries, and I really think they add a lot to any dvd release. Obviously, Linn's passing is a tremendous loss, and no one will be able to fill that void, but will there be an attempt to find someone to attempt to provide informative commentaries. As long as it is not Ric Meyers I'll be happy. I don't hate Ric, but his commentary on Shinobi No Mono 2 is completely lacking in preparation.

I believe the only title we have at the moment not released elsewhere is HONG KONG GODFATHER. I want to use the original dubs. For any film that doesn't have a dub, we'll consider dubbing it, but I would never allow a new dub to be comical. Using Chinese actors is not a bad idea. We did consider it once when i was at another company. Thanks! Cliff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member kungfusamurai Posted June 25, 2008 Member Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hey Cliff, Welcome to the newer board! Sorry to go off on a tangerine. I didn't see you in the Japanese Forum. I was just wondering if there is any word on the Yasuaki Kurata kung fu/karate series Fight! Dragon? I read somewhere that BCI had it scheduled for release, but it wasn't set in stone or anything. I actually started a thread in that other board, if you wanted to reply on that topic: Fight! Dragon Kurata was in Heroes of The East (just to keep my message Shaw Bros related) If you guys pick up Shaw Brothers, that would be totally cool too!

Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted June 27, 2008 Member Share Posted June 27, 2008 I thought I read in another thread somewhere that BCI had soemthing to do with Well Go USA, but I must be wrong. Thanks for the reply Cliff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
