Member OldPangYau Posted August 3, 2009 Member Share Posted August 3, 2009 I could rip off their balls too if you want...? Considering the crap backing of the classic films Dragon Dynasty has the rights to (especially the Shaw Bros films), go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member gorhama Posted August 3, 2009 Member Share Posted August 3, 2009 ...and if it was a Chang Cheh film it would end with me ripping off TWC's testicles and crushing them with my clenched fist. Markgway: 看见。 源语言优越! 您将尊敬它或者… (See. Original language is superior! You will respect it or else...) TWC: 啊，我的球! (Ah, my balls!) That was worth getting on the forums tonight!!! Although in reality wouldn't that be just as in line with a Sonny Chiba-san film as well?? You would have to be channeling him for sure to peform the perfect manly testicle crush.

Member OldPangYau Posted August 4, 2009 Member Share Posted August 4, 2009 For those who haven't checked, apparently the first review of the DD DVD is on the front page of the site... only extra is indeed Bey Logan's commentary. Not even a trailer. *sigh* Well, it still beats out IVL's release by containing the mono tracks and a progressive scan transfer. Something tells me this may be Dragon Dynasty's last SB DVD Oh well, give the leftovers to Media Blasters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something tells me this may be Dragon Dynasty's last SB DVD Oh well, give the leftovers to Media Blasters I actually think this is good sign for Dragon Dynasty. I mean times are tough and to release movies with limited extras, but with qualify video and audio, that can help them save money and make a profit off a disk rather than losing. Sure it totally sucks not to have as many extras as before, but having the film itself released is what really matters. I know I know they have been released and are availble but for those that didn't import the ILV version this is great!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno how much money they saved by not including trailers that were easily available though. I mean, it seems like DVDs nowadays compeltely overlook trailers. Come on, they're like mini-movies! And believe it or not, I've NEVER seen 5DV, so I'm really looking forward to finally seeing it. I rented the old VHS releases years ago, but by the time I had a chance to watch it, I had to take it back Well, it'll be all mine now! If only it came out a week sooner for my birthday...

Member tdb Posted August 4, 2009 Member Share Posted August 4, 2009 this film good? Yes, it's considered a classic. It was probably the next martial arts movie to break big in the West (the States, at least), since King Boxer (aka Five Fingers of Death) and Enter the Dragon. I don't think there was anything comparable between '73 and '78. Part of what makes The Five Venoms so enduring is that it isn't just another straightforward martial arts action (rival schools/revenge, etc..) movie, but that Chang Cheh lifted a page from the wu xia pian playbook and made it a mystery/suspense with martial arts. In other words, it's worth a blind buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This definitely falls under the drama/mystery with kung fu category. KFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Kung Foolery Posted August 5, 2009 Member Share Posted August 5, 2009 When is this released? I was hoping to pick this up yesterday at BB. I don't think BB will be carrying this at any stores. I checked a few days ago and the company wide system didn't have a sku# for it. If stores will carry something then the sku# is usually in the system at least a month before the release date. I will double check tomorrow, there might be a slight chance I overlooked something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Kung Foolery Posted August 5, 2009 Member Share Posted August 5, 2009 It's listed on the BB website (though no cover art). Available online only. It doesn't look like Flag Of Iron will be at stores either. But of course there's a million copies of Brave Archer everywhere . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no listing for it in the system (totally seperate from the BB.com). If any store location anywhere will be carrying it there would be a listing. The only sku# in the computer for that title is that really old letterboxed edition from the 90s. Like I said, there is a slim chance I missed something. It being a DD release makes me think there might be a chance (a delayed release, perhaps?) I'll find out for sure tomorrow night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator KUNG FU BOB Posted August 5, 2009 Administrator Share Posted August 5, 2009 I remember Kung Foolery kept us up-to-date on this the last time too. Thanks brother. And it seems that my Best Buy always gets the Dragon Dynasty and Media Blasters titles on their shelves at least a week or two after the official release date, so...

Member OldPangYau Posted August 5, 2009 Member Share Posted August 5, 2009 Best Buy is hit or miss with classic martial arts titles... although due to the "pull" of the Weinstein Company, the Dragon Dynasty releases usually make it there the first day, while the Media Blasters releases wander about a bit.
