Member TheFlyingPanda Posted March 5, 2009 Member Share Posted March 5, 2009 I've got to see some great Kung Fu classics released in prestige form. I thought when I got my hands on remastered classics like Chinese Super Ninjas, Fist of Fury, Drunken master and Masked Avengers it would feed my hunger. This is not the case, I can never stop! I'm glad I could find a place like this forum where people understand my fanatic state and know more about Martial arts film than I do. What films are long overdue for a remastered, or at least very nice DVD release? Though there are allot more, I can only start thinking of the few I'm always waiting for like. Bruce Lee: The Man, The Myth The Chinese Stuntman From the Highway Pedicab driver Pray For Death Ninja III: The Domination Shaolin vs Lama The Secret Rivals snuff bottle connection Iron Monkey (original) any other suggestions?

Member Killer Meteor Posted March 5, 2009 Member Share Posted March 5, 2009 Snuff Bottle Connection got a remastered release in the UK, using a nearly uncut German print. Its OOP sadly. The same company did an OK remastered Secret Rivals as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member TheFlyingPanda Posted March 5, 2009 Author Member Share Posted March 5, 2009 Out of Print, so theirs no chance on getting it, or If someone is still supplying the DVD's? Another classic Needed for remastering is Hell's Wind staff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another classic Needed for remastering is Hell's Wind staff Hell'z Windstaff is one we need to find a good English print for to get the longer ending. The HK prints cut down the finale for some odd reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member TheFlyingPanda Posted March 5, 2009 Author Member Share Posted March 5, 2009 I would love an Uncut, widescreen, sharp and clear at the least of HWS. I feel Hitman in the Hand of Buddha deserves a cleaned original scope print too! It might not be in some fan's top Hwang movies, but still kick ass! If anything, now is a good time for a DVD release of some of these classics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Yakuza954 Posted March 5, 2009 Member Share Posted March 5, 2009 There's too many to name.. I could go on for days, but here's a few: Five Fighters from Shaolin Brutal Boxer Shaolin vs Lama Fatal Needles vs Fatal Fists War of the Shaolin Temple Call me Dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have sworn I'd read somewhere there was going to be a scope print of that on dvd in Germany. no news yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member northern b Posted March 5, 2009 Member Share Posted March 5, 2009 Among the many these could do with a dual track+ Subs re-master- Master Killers Return of the deadly blade The Loot The Challenger Drunken Master (with the familiar dub) Shaolin Plot Snake Crane Secret Snake Deadly Act Showdown At the Cotton Mill The Heroes Heroes of the Wild Woman Avenger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member niro Posted March 5, 2009 Member Share Posted March 5, 2009 strangely enough theres quite a few sammo hung films which have not even been officially released on DVD, which is a shame cos they are great and hilarious as for others there's just too many Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member thundered mantis Posted March 5, 2009 Member Share Posted March 5, 2009 My top 5 are: 5 Fighters from Shaolin Shaolin vs Lama To Kill a Mastermind Lovers Blades Thunderclap And also Shanghai 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Killer Meteor Posted March 5, 2009 Member Share Posted March 5, 2009 It'd be interesting to know what actually is out there in terms of prints and negatives. Many titles are likely condemned to the poor video dupes but there are hopefully more prints out there in collections Personally, I think DVD distributors should not bother releasing theatre prints from HK unless they are willing to re-do the subtitles. I can't stand those crummy old subs graffitiing up the films but that's just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member TheFlyingPanda Posted March 6, 2009 Author Member Share Posted March 6, 2009 How can I forget The Loot, still got that widescreen English dub print relesed a while back. A remastered print of Five Fighters From Shaolin is another Movie I'm alway's looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted March 6, 2009 Member Share Posted March 6, 2009 I would take that wide version of Five Fighters that Abbotwhite has on youtube. That would be good enough for me. The movie I most want to see in wide is Killer in White. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member inframan Posted March 6, 2009 Member Share Posted March 6, 2009 The Mystery of Chessboxing does anyone know if the frame cuts that are present in the "Ninja Checkmate" DVD release are in all prints of the film? Its so annoying, at first I thoght they had stopped the camera in the middle of the scene everytime but the commentary track says that frames were actually cut from the print to speed up the action. Speaking of old school remasters and chessboxing, I've got a copy of 7Grandmasters on the way, $5 on ebay:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member TheFlyingPanda Posted March 6, 2009 Author Member Share Posted March 6, 2009 I picked up a copy of 7 Grand Masters a few years back from Tokyo Shock, I believe and it was awesome! Remasters like this is enough for me. Is there any hope of ever seeing Born Invincible (at the least) in it's original format on DVD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Killer Meteor Posted March 6, 2009 Member Share Posted March 6, 2009 Born Invincible is one of the Hong Hwa films misssing in a widescreen print, though there was a rumour Joesph Kuo has one as it was his fave film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member bolofan Posted March 6, 2009 Member Share Posted March 6, 2009 More remastered Bruceploitation is needed. There are plenty only available in FS VHS formats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member HyperDrive Posted March 7, 2009 Member Share Posted March 7, 2009 That brings up Dynamo. There is also some Tan Tao Liang stuff I would like to see. One that probably never will be remastered but absolutely should is Battle for the Republic of China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Kaal Posted March 7, 2009 Member Share Posted March 7, 2009 I would love to see better releases for movies like Live Hard Innocent Interloper (Joy Sales, an upgrade from the vcd would be greeeat) Red Zone Pedicab Driver etc etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member thedirtytiger Posted March 9, 2009 Member Share Posted March 9, 2009 I sort of agree, some of the Bruceploitations are very good and I actually find them more enjoyable than the real Bruce films many times, especially like Dynamo, Bruce Against Iron Finger, Secret Of Bruce and some other Bruce Li's, they deserve to at least have decent releases....
