a definitive Must for Wang Yu Fans

[HAZ]

Amazing! I hope that Hoker wil be putting out more films...

Someone needs to start a Hoker discography thread. Some of their films on yesasia that are advertised as having no subs actually do have english subs.

I've not seen the Brave & The Evil but I'm placing an order now & will write a review.

hey,

the 10-12 second out of synch FLK dvd...say bye-bye.

But how hard is it to make it anamorphic, really?

Cool! Been awaitng this one for a while also.

[Chinatown Kid]

I've never heard of this film, is this one of Wang Yu's better films with good basher style fights? I liked The Chinese Boxer and Wang Yu: King of Boxers, is it similar?

[spannick]

[Chinatown Kid]

Thanks spannick, looks like the kinda film I'd like! Wang hacking and slashing his way to glory.

[Guest Markgway]

Nice to know that there's finally a proper release of this rare film - letterboxed and subbed too.

I sure hope it's better then King of Boxers though... lol

I will definitely be picking this up to replace my horrible flk version. I wish they could have gotten a 16:9 transfer.

Whatdaya mean Mark, you didn't like to see Jimmy and lung fei bashing the **** out of one another all over the countryside, water and train? Sure he's not Bruce Lee but he sure puts on a mean brawl!

[ironfistedmonk]

I don't really like Jimmy but this is a good film, one of his best, well worth seeing

I liked Wang Yu when he worked for Shaw Bros - after that his work went rapidly downhill and never recovered culminating in disasters for Taiwan's Ed Wood Chu Yen-Ping. When The Killer Meteors is a mid-career highpoint you should probably pack it in.

you must not have seen the sword

[Killer Meteor]

or Master of the Flying Guillotine.

[Chinatown Kid]

I've always prefered Jimmy's empty handed brawls like A Man Called Tiger, Man from Hong Kong and Tattooed Dragon, just never have been into swordplay that much although I love the Lone Wolf and Cub films. He's not much of a MA technique wise but his cool as ice attitude makes all the difference.....

[Guest Markgway]

Have seen them both.

Didn't rate The Sword.

Flying Guillotine was OK.

[Chinatown Kid]

What did you think of the One Armed Swordsman films Mark?, these were supposed to be Jimmy's best regarded I think. Beach of the War Gods was pretty good as well.

[HAZ]

I liked Flying Guillotine, but my favorite Wang Yu is his Shaw stuff. The Sword was somewhat like his Shaw material. I have Beach Of The War Gods on the shelf waiting to be watched. The Assassin, One Armed Swordsman, Golden Swallow, those are all classic Wang Yu films in my book.

[mantis FIST]

did the sword ever get a proper release? I have a dvd-r that I recorded from the tai seng full screen tape.

Crash released it like a year ago. Nice wide print though the subtitles are hard to read a lot of the time. I still had a great time watching it.

Thanks!

Beach was OK, I think. I quite liked the two One-Armed Swordsman movies.

[Chinatown Kid]

Yes even though it was swordplay I enjoyed those as well and thought they were well made, I think I actually liked the third one starring David Chiang the best though!

[Guest Markgway]

All three were on a par. Decided not to keep the Box Set though.
