Member magicpoe Posted October 30, 2008 Member Share Posted October 30, 2008 I've decided to only purchase the IVL, unless the Image DVD has an English dub but that would be extremely unlikely. I'll pick up their release of The Thunderbolt Fist more than likely though. Image's release of Corpse Mania was a welcomed addition to the collection.

Guest ekisha Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 It's not cool to release one unpopular title and then say we'll only release more if people buy this! Maybe they want to surprise everyone:nerd: ________ Cooking help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Stuntman Jules Posted November 2, 2008 Member Share Posted November 2, 2008 MP, the image quality of IMAGE's discs has been consistent and will probably never improve. So looks like you will be double dipping next year:D Not so, The Magic Blade for some reason looked really nice, a lot better than the IVL. I think there's another "pleasant surprise" or two in the Image Shaw catalog as well. The rest not so good though. As for Lost Souls on DVD, I can't wait. That and Bank Busters (which hopefully might also get released now) are the only two Shaw movies that T.F. Mou made that he's even remotely proud of.

Member teako170 Posted November 2, 2008 Member Share Posted November 2, 2008 It's not cool to release one unpopular title and then say we'll only release more if people buy this! Quite true. And from a business POV, rather imprudent. But, if C is thinking of releasing additional titles, by all mean we should support them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member xianzai Posted November 2, 2008 Member Share Posted November 2, 2008 Celestial is run by morons. Let's keep in mind that if the companies involved had really run the numbers, they might not have released nearly as many films as they did, or even started releasing the films in the first place. Instead we had the opportunity to pick up hundreds of SB films. I picked up every one I could, and wish they had released more. If you really don't want the film, perhaps pick it up now to show interest in getting more SB films released, then trade/sell it in 6 months.

Member Winfred Posted November 2, 2008 Author Member Share Posted November 2, 2008 I pre-ordered it even though I already have the VCD. I just keep hoping good sales of Lost Souls will enable me to own Lily Ho's The Brain Stealers & Cheng Pei-pei's Operation Lipstick on DVD.

Guest Markgway Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Didn't rate The Brain-Stealers, but I'd like to see Operation Lipstick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member greenfan Posted November 2, 2008 Member Share Posted November 2, 2008 Someone with cash to spare can buy one on my behalf. Consider it done. Can't say as I'm particularly keen to see Lost Souls, but I'm willing to buy it if it encourages IVL to release some more Shaws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Markgway Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Thanks Greenfan. My guilt has been salved, lol Mission Impossible is pretty poor. Filmed in Taiwan and not up to Shaw standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Shaolin Patriot Posted December 10, 2008 Member Share Posted December 10, 2008 Has the region 3 disc been released yet in Hong Kong and has anyone received it? If so, please comment. It is still listed as pre-order here in the States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member magicpoe Posted December 10, 2008 Member Share Posted December 10, 2008 I received my copy from dddhouse 7 days after it was released in Hong Kong. Picture quality is what you would expect. Glad I bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Yu_Xihong Posted December 10, 2008 Member Share Posted December 10, 2008 Interesting movie. I'm not gonna look at Chan Shen quite the same now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Shaolin Patriot Posted December 11, 2008 Member Share Posted December 11, 2008 Hope to receive my copy in the next week or so. Not expecting much in terms of DVD quality. Looking forward to seeing the actual film for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Stuntman Jules Posted December 11, 2008 Member Share Posted December 11, 2008 The DVD of Lost Souls looks quite good. It's of course a huge step up from the VCD release. One MAJOR improvement is in terms of the opening scenes. On the VCD (or at least the bootleg DVD-R I got ripped from the VCD), these scenes, in which the illegal mainlander immigrants land on the shores of Hong Kong, were so dark as to be almost unintelligible at times. On this new DVD, they are massively improved in terms of brightness and I could make out a lot of things about these scenes that weren't very legible on the VCD.

Member Shaolin Patriot Posted December 12, 2008 Member Share Posted December 12, 2008 Funny you should say that, Stuntman Jules. My VCD of Pursuit of a Killer is the same way. Most of the film looks like it was shot at night under poor lighting conditions. I'm hoping for an eventual DVD release of this film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Well... now that many have been forced into buying this can we expects some decent films to come out ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member shawbro Posted December 13, 2008 Member Share Posted December 13, 2008 I sent this link http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080028/ about To Kill a Mastermind to ivl. Probably wont help, its my 3rd or 4th email to them. Oh well, I want the movie released so I'm going to bug them about it. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member magicpoe Posted December 13, 2008 Member Share Posted December 13, 2008 Yes your right, it is better than the VCD release. I should have stated that in my post above. Sorry if I gave the impression that it was not worth purchasing due to picture quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
