The cover arts look quite nice.

Considering the RRP and label (Prism) I'm not expecting much.

It reminds me of the days when HKL released old school titles.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 15 Mar 2006, 20:37

I'm not expecting much either... £7.99 is hardly budget these days.

I've seen two of the three titles (they ain't much cop) and the third isn't terribly well-liked.

Expect full frame and dubbing as per standard. (I hope I'm wrong).

I agree with Gasteropod - pretty good cover art.

I'm not that clued up on school but may check some of these titles out given the price.
Will they be original language though?

For an RRP it is. They should be less than that.

LOL, I remember the days when reviewers were considering £12.99 for MIA's Born Invincible disc to be budget

This new lot - great covers but I bet they'll be the same old transfers. Would love to be wrong, though

LOL, can't believe their logo is Hwang Jang-lee from my favourite kung fu movie ever, "Invincible Armour". Hope they'll release that one with a better transfer than the current UK disc and with original soundtrack and subs.

Sorry, but to me £7.99 is not a budget RRP.

That would be £5.99 or less.

It's an RRP. Most RRP's are £19.99 so £7.99 RRP is budget.

I don't think I've ever paid the RRP price.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 16 Mar 2006, 16:38

Budget is £5.99.

£7.99 is just less expensive.

I agree £5.99 or less is Budget but surely the RRP is higher?

Killer Meteor · Post by **Killer Meteor** » 17 Mar 2006, 18:15

Vengeance Video's DVD RRP at £5.99

55th chamber have a full page ad in this months shivers,a horror mag

coming soon are attack of the joyful goddess,the flashlegs & kung fu wonderchild.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 27 Apr 2006, 23:20

Attack of the Joyful Goddess aka Attack of the God of Joy isn't as bad as it could have been; but it's Chang Cheh past his peak. Don't expect Shaw Bros quality from these Taiwanese-lensed indies.

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 27 Apr 2006, 23:21

Hmmm... why don't they have a website, yet?

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 17 May 2006, 22:31

saw 2 of their releases in the shops today-death duel of kung fu 4x3 letterbox english dub, my kung fu 12 kicks fullscreen english dub

even crash sourced a widescreen print for this movie.oh and it's soulblade who are behind this company.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 17 May 2006, 22:59

If nothing else at least one of them sounds to be Widescreen. Still a complete cock up so it doesn't mean much.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 17 May 2006, 23:38

I would take letterbox with a pinch of salt.

It's probably still badly cropped.

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 06 Apr 2010, 21:06

These bit the dust quickly.

Killer Meteor · Post by **Killer Meteor** » 06 Apr 2010, 21:52

not surprising, we need more then labels booting old vhs tapes.

oldeschool17 · Post by **oldeschool17** » 06 Apr 2010, 21:52

kinda looks like those crash masters covers.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 07 Apr 2010, 04:12

The Kung Fu DVD market is close to dead in the UK.

Killer Meteor · Post by **Killer Meteor** » 07 Apr 2010, 12:23

Yeah, a real shame. But, really, aside from HKL, it was mostly cheapskate boot quality stuff. The Shaws never took off either.

But I think a company like Arrow COULD market some 70s Golden Harvests under an exploitation banner, such as Shameless is doing with Giaollos
