Sorry LD, looks like play.com have trumped your cautious wink.

LOL, ha ha ha! OK. Didn't know it was already officially announced.

Any news on a new WOTD: PE? With FOF, TBB, ETD getting proper SE releases WOTD will really stand out.

PA have never made/created an IC. Blame someone else for creating it but yes PA have paid to use it.

Are Naked Weapon, Iron Monkey and Seoul Raiders the only HKL DVDs with DTS? Just curious.

Speaking of Naked Weapon has the rape scene and that alone been cut from the R1? I think it has and if so it would be one of those rare examples where cuts definitely help a film.

What was he thinking? A decent B-Movie with that scene chopped.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 29 Jan 2006, 00:02

Naked Weapon was alright until that scene... and that's where the film went down hill and never recovered. I still think it's a better movie than the overpraised Naked Killer though...

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 29 Jan 2006, 12:45

Agreed but I enjoyed it past that point but with that scene intact it has to lose marks. I've not seen Naked Killer but have the HKL DVD.

Stupid voice-over man, stupid fucking rap music.
Just when you thought HKL trailers couldn't get any worse...

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 29 Jan 2006, 19:47

That trailer clearly shows that Brian White, who edited all the previous trailers, is not at HKL anymore. Even the HKL logo at the end of the trailer is missing.

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 29 Jan 2006, 19:49

And check out that cover art:

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 29 Jan 2006, 20:33

Is there any Brian White didn't used to do at HKL?

It's good news HKL are really a comedy IMO.

It's only a trailer big deal.

LOL I don't know the film but thats terrible! Very very bland indeed.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 30 Jan 2006, 00:03

One of Chow's better films, IMO, but that cover art is fucking atrocious. Which 4- year old designed it??? :twisted:

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 30 Jan 2006, 09:48

I'm sure that's a test cover (notice the old BBFC "15") but like you Mark I hope that changes

one of the ugliest covers ever, and it isnt even a region 1(!)

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 30 Jan 2006, 11:50

That looks like the current 15 logo to me.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 30 Jan 2006, 11:54

It is.
I bloody hope thats a test cover, as Mark said it looked like a 5 year old made it!

You're as confusing as Romero sometimes

. You said 14 hours earlier it looked like the old 15 logo.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 31 Jan 2006, 13:54

Huh?
DOH! I misread your post - I thought it said "old 15 logo". Its' the "old" 15 logo, I promise

Hey,

I noticed the BBFC have posted info about the UK release of SEVEN SWORDS.

SEVEN SWORDS

The BBFC has placed this work in the MARTIAL ARTS genre(s).

When submitted to the BBFC the work had a running time of 139m 59s.
The running time of this film was calculated from the measured length of 12598+4 ( feet + frames ).
This work was passed with no cuts made.

At the time of classification Contender Entertainment Group was the distributor of this film.

Contender's Seven Swords is about 15 mins shorter than the version on the HK DVD - don't tell me this some sort of International cut

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 31 Jan 2006, 16:35

140 minutes ?

The HK DVD is...

*checking*

153 minutes.

*Taking into account the NTSC -> PAL speed-up...*

That's a 7-minute difference.

That can't be good.

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 31 Jan 2006, 16:37

Have I posted the HKL trailer here already? Totally forgot if I did or not.

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 31 Jan 2006, 16:38

For Seven Swords ?

I posted it a while ago.

EDIT:
