Member DeathFuMaster Posted August 22, 2009 Member Share Posted August 22, 2009 I think this DVD will do very well though. I seen a lot of people buying them at Walmart when I got mine, even somebody that worked there snagged one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member kungfusamurai Posted August 23, 2009 Member Share Posted August 23, 2009 yep, a lousy 3.5GB, with a video bitrate under 5000. really laughable for such a company. They might be doing it to foil people converting it to AVI. If you have a better quality source, then when you compress it, it still looks good. If the source is just okay, it looks like shite when compressed. That's my theory on that, anyway. I wonder where the Wild Side DVD fits on the spectrum. Too bad DVD Beaver didn't analyze that one.

Guest Markgway Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I seem to remember the first 15 mins of Ma Su Chen being a reprise of Furious Slaughter... and Ma Su Chen only runs about 80 mins. It was a quick cash-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member magicpoe Posted August 24, 2009 Member Share Posted August 24, 2009 Actually the original trailer is on the DVD but there is no way to watch it by selecting it from any of the menus. Also there is no audio track for it. See below: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v241/magicpoe/untitled_1.jpg Also there are 2 other trailer for The Rebel and Fist of Legend.

Member DeathFuMaster Posted August 24, 2009 Member Share Posted August 24, 2009 I think the trailers play when the dvd menu is idle....need to test it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Senor Quack Posted August 24, 2009 Member Share Posted August 24, 2009 Toby did a commentary with Wong Tao on Rarescope's Along Comes a Tiger. Best commentary I've ever heard. Toby's knowledge is off the charts, but he just seems to be too soft spoken and maybe not comfortable doing a commentary. But he asks good questions and Wong Tao has a lot to say. Wong Tao and Toby Russell also do a commentary on Soulblade's "Secret Rivals" DVD. I've only listened to it once but I found it informative.

Member inframan Posted August 25, 2009 Member Share Posted August 25, 2009 Amazon has the old reviews for The Return of the Five Deadly Venoms bootleg linked to the new Dragon Dynasty release. I emailed them and pointed out that its the wrong movie, the responded by saying that they think its just a different edition. Morons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member littlefuzzy Posted August 25, 2009 Member Share Posted August 25, 2009 I found it odd that they don't include ANY extras (other than the commentary), but yet they give it a slipcover, formerly reserved for the 2-disc sets... The interviews evidently were already done, would it have cost that much to put them on the disc? I don't really know about royalties and such, I would assume that they paid the interviewees when they were interviewed, it seems like that money was wasted if they aren't put on the disc. And trailers, I would think that they don't cost much of anything to throw on there (look at the Image discs, they have a ton of trailers.) Obviously, there was plenty of room on the 5DV discs for extras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member gfanikf Posted August 26, 2009 Member Share Posted August 26, 2009 seems their Shaw Releases are coming to a fast end. cheapest Mastering possible, not even a Celestial Trailer, no NOTHING (except a super-important commentary which was cheap i guess - he's involved with the company ). this is going downhill very fast. thanks to rotten sales of course... oh well. I could live with that if they start putting out titles faster (say like a double feature pack). I'd love to see Seven Man Army with the complete dub.

The problem is that the Shaw titles just haven't sold huge numbers in North America, for anybody!, and so the budgets have come down accordingly."

Member gorhama Posted August 26, 2009 Member Share Posted August 26, 2009 Crippled Avengers would be very nice!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member inframan Posted August 27, 2009 Member Share Posted August 27, 2009 Amazon fixed the link but of course all the reviews are for the old bootlegs so whatever.... Crippled Avengers would be great, I've watched the Zoke DVD several times but english dub on that one is a favorite so I'd pick up a DD version. Hopefully Masked Avengers is in the pipeline too. I could care less about extras, barebones is fine as long as the video and audio are clean. Don't for get that just a few years ago the best you could get was Ground Zero crap.

Member littlefuzzy Posted August 31, 2009 Member Share Posted August 31, 2009 Since I haven't been buying that many MA dvds until recently, I don't think I've ever picked up a bootleg. Of course, back at the beginning of my DVD collection (I started in 2000), I picked up a few of the cheapo public domain DVDs, like Platinum, Good Times, and so on.

Member The Silver Fox Posted September 2, 2009 Member Share Posted September 2, 2009 Picked up my copy of Five Deadly Venoms today. I wasn't even planning to buy it since I've been on a sci-fi bender lately and I already own 2 versions of this film. Well, I went to Best Buy and they had 1 copy so I just had to get it.
