Member HAZ Posted January 17, 2009 Member Share Posted January 17, 2009 Hi, I've seen a couple movies recently produced by Goldig films (The Gold Connection & The Black Belt). They put out a number of films in the 70's, & I'm sure that if you don't know the name, you'd recognize their logo. I'm sure I've seen other Goldig productions & just didn't take notice of the company name. The Gold Connection was pretty good, & I really liked the Black Belt, which starred Pai Ying. I'm putting together a review of that one, so keep your eyes peeled. Do folks here have any favorite Goldig films? I was surprised to see that they have a website up & that it has a filmography, along with a history of the company. Here's a link: http://www.goldigfilms.com.hk/Movies/index.htm Some of the titles sound cool, like "Mantis Fists & Tiger Claws of Shaolin". h Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member SamuraiDana Posted January 18, 2009 Member Share Posted January 18, 2009 In addition to the aforementioned DAGGERS 8 and DUEL OF THE SEVEN TIGERS, I would add KUNG FU GENIUS and SNAKE IN THE MONKEY'S SHADOW as recommended Goldig titles.

Member HAZ Posted January 18, 2009 Author Member Share Posted January 18, 2009 Are many of their films available subbed/widescreen? Gold Connection was subbed, but I don't think that it was in OAR. I think Hot Blood was made available on VCD/DVD. I've heard that one is not so hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member thedirtytiger Posted January 18, 2009 Member Share Posted January 18, 2009 I like them all, Goldig was a great company and some of their films remain painfully hard to get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldig looks like a fairly well organised company, I wonder if they still have the reels for all those films locked away in a basement somewhere Shaw Bros style?

I got this from the goldig site: "Since Goldig Films ceased its movie businesses in the mid-1980¡¦s, the company¡¦s movies, together with related materials such as movie posters, have been kept and conserved at the Government-funded Hong Kong Film Archive. The movies are constantly being used for studies and research in movie production and the history of Chinese movies." I wonder if the hk film archive rents out prints?

Member Knetan Posted January 24, 2009 Member Share Posted January 24, 2009 hey, didn't The Dragon Lives Again have the Goldig logo? Now that's a classic that should have its original print slapped onto a dvd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
