Member tdb Posted February 26, 2010 Member Share Posted February 26, 2010 Sucks that the "new" movies included in these boxes and seperately(Lung Wei Village and Legend of The Mountain, so far) aren't English subbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member tdb Posted March 22, 2010 Member Share Posted March 22, 2010 Retro Martial Arts box 7 is available. It contains One Arm Chivalry Fights Against One Arm Chivalry / The Fly Dragon Mountain / The Ghost Hill. The Fly Dragon Mountain and The Ghost Hill should be English subtitled. No love for One Arm Chivalry Fights Against One Arm Chivalry, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member spannick Posted March 23, 2010 Member Share Posted March 23, 2010 ONE-ARM CHIVALRY is useless anyway, as it's horribly cropped to Fullscreen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What movies are A Touch Of Zen Part 2, 1973 and Morning Mist, 1968? Could not find em on any movie data base. Same goes for The Love Offensive, 1977. And are there any DVDs for Chinese Kung Fu And Acupuncture, 1973, The Ghostly Face, 1973 and I Will Always Be With You, 1971? And are those Martial Arts /Sword Play movies? Last question are those Drama/Romance movies like Moon River, 1974 or The Lost Romance, 1971 any good? And where do you get the movies from? JSDVD shipping is high about 25$ for 1,5 kg. That is about 10 movies? So 2.5$ each movie Any other Taiwanese online merchant out there? Or do DDDHouse or Yesasia sell all of the movies as well? Sorry for the long text. Hope you can help me out.

I think Touch Of Zen 2 is literally the second half of the film. It was split into parts for its original showings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Buxbaum Posted March 29, 2010 Member Share Posted March 29, 2010 Ah ok because there is a German title Touch of Zen 2 for Raining in the Mountain and I was confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Knetan Posted March 29, 2010 Member Share Posted March 29, 2010 hey, Moon River is a lesser Brigitte Rin romance flick. Very standard story, tricks and it's corny even for this vast genre. Not as much of a standout as Outside The Window, The Marigolds and Cloud Of Romance are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Buxbaum Posted April 1, 2010 Member Share Posted April 1, 2010 I was wondering the same thing! I wish we could get Hoker's email to ask for more releases! I tried the search over jsDVD and did not find anything. That does not mean those DVDs do not exist. And the Hoker site is confusing at least for me.

Member JustinB Posted May 4, 2010 Member Share Posted May 4, 2010 I noticed that YesAsia has a new Hoker release listed: "Love of the White Snake" with Brigitte Lin. I'm hoping this has English subtitles (like many of the other Hoker titles). Anyone pick this up yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jack J Posted May 7, 2010 Member Share Posted May 7, 2010 And are there any DVDs for [...]The Ghostly Face, 1973 And are those Martial Arts /Sword Play movies? THE GHOSTLY FACE is definitely a personal fave of mine! It's plays like a cool spaghetti western with this girl who goes after "The Ghostly Face" who killed her father at the beginning of the film.

Member JustinB Posted January 7, 2011 Member Share Posted January 7, 2011 For anyone interested, I noticed that Hoker has released Joseph Kuo's "Superior Darter" on DVD. Like all Hoker DVDs, it doesn't list English subtitles, but hopefully it has them. Also, I took a chance and bought Hoker's "Love of the White Snake" DVD and it does have English subtitles (burnt-in). The picture appears to be cropped to 1:85:1 from 2:35:1, but is otherwise of similar quality to their other DVDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member punt44 Posted January 10, 2011 Member Share Posted January 10, 2011 Does anyone know about "Night Orchid"? I have a DVDR of the Ocean Shores version called Demon Hunter. Does this one have English Subtitles? Looks to be a nice DVD according to YesAsia: http://www.yesasia.com/global/gu-long-martial-arts-series-1-taiwan-version/1004616506-0-0-0-en/info.html http://www.yesasia.com/global/night-onchid-taiwan-version/1004099341-0-0-0-en/info.html Also, can we have someone establish a conprehensive Hoker list of films that have English Subtitles?

Member odioustrident Posted January 10, 2011 Member Share Posted January 10, 2011 That Hoker Night Orchid print is not subbed, but a fan on another forum has done a custom job for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member JustinB Posted January 10, 2011 Member Share Posted January 10, 2011 Also, can we have someone establish a conprehensive Hoker list of films that have English Subtitles? These are the Hoker DVDs that I know have English subs: Union Films DVDs: The Swordsman Of All Swordsmen The Fly Dragon Mountain A City Called Dragon Black Invitation The Ghost Hill The Grant Passion The Brave and The Evil Dragon Inn Rider Of Revenge She'd Hate Rather Love The Bravest Revenge A Girl Fighter All of the above are non-anamorphic widescreen. Other Hoker DVDs with English subs: The Saviour-Monk (full-screen, burned-in subs) Love of the White Snake (burned-in subs) These DVDs probably have English subtitles, but I haven't verified: Touch of Zen Prosperous of Famiily Blood Revenge The Decisive Battle Iron Petticoat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Stephe Posted June 12, 2011 Member Share Posted June 12, 2011 I was wondering if anyone here could answer these questions about Hoker Records Taiwan DVD releases of Union Films: 1) Does an individual DVD come in a cardboard outer slipcase with a regular plastic DVD case inside? 2) Do the DVDs that come in the Retro Martial Arts Classic Box series come in cardboard slipcases that are in turn inserted into the three-disc box set? I ask this because the Panorama Cathay DVD boxsets of The Films of Grace Chang and The Films of Wong Tin Lam both contained the DVDs with cardboard slipcases that opened at the bottom to reveal regular plastic DVD cases inside.

Yes, every single one I bought arrived in a cardboard case. BTW, the only Hoker DVD's I own that do NOT have English subs are: FURIOUS SLAUGHTER (Full Screen, the worst PQ imaginable) THE TWO CAVALIERS (Full Screen too) THE SUPERIOR DARTER (W/S) LUNG WEI VILLAGE (W/S) Hope that helps.

I looked at the rest of the posts on this thread and found this older post of yours: 11-20-2009, 09:25 PM #97 Got the Retro Martial Arts Classic Box 3 [Lung Wei Village, Rider of Revenge, and The Bravest Revenge] in today. [. . .] [Front cover of box: ] [back cover of box: ] Rider of Revenge and The Bravest Revenge both seem to be exactly the same as the other two I own; just no slip case. The box itself looks nice, but is on the flimsy side. [. . .] So, I guess that answers that: Individual Taiwan Hoker Union Films DVDs come in slipcases, whereas Taiwan Hoker Union Films DVDs grouped together in Retro Martial Arts Classic Boxes do not. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member YnEoS Posted October 9, 2012 Member Share Posted October 9, 2012 Can someone recommend which of these DVDs are best to start out with for someone who is totally unaware of most of these films? Also, is there a cheaper website than YesAsia to order these from for shipping to the US? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
