Another frenchman.
With Shikamaru (who hasn't posted yet), that's two new frenchmen in 3 days.

:blob7:

tom, stop signing up under different accounts to make the french members more

:mrgreen:

frimann · Post by **frimann** » 06 Aug 2007, 15:13

Thanks for the warm welcome!
Merci pour le chaleureux accueil!

Wow, 2 new frenchies in 3 days! How many of us now then? 3?

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 06 Aug 2007, 18:32

Yep.

We used to have another frenchman called Chow Gam Kong.
He disappeared without a trace two years ago.

We've also got Palplathune (from HKmania.com) but he hasn't posted anything since November.

I'm half-expecting you to vanish into thin air any minute, now.

Lily Chou-Chou avatar? Great. Finally we have a frenchman with taste

frimann · Post by **frimann** » 09 Aug 2007, 18:30

Haha, yeah, Shunji Iwai is my favourite Japanese director, and All About Lily Chou-Chou one of my favourite films

I'm not gonna vanish Tom, but I won't be posting much since I haven't got the Internet at home (yet).
And I come from hkmania too.

I feel like we're slightly going out of topic now ^^

I can fix that quite easily:

It's because I had nothing interesting to say since

But I'm still checking the forum

Oh, and to be exact, my first assignement is more on hkcinemagic than hkmania. The site should have a few updates in a few days for those of you who are interested by the way.

dvdvision · Post by **dvdvision** » 18 Aug 2007, 22:13

Yo, I'm french, if that is interest to anyone. I'm also a bit close to the HK video guys.

frimann · Post by **frimann** » 19 Aug 2007, 13:13

Hey dvdvision, your nickname reminds me of a french dvd magazine, and some guys from HK Video used to write for that magazine too if I remember well.

Did you use to work for that magazine?

Anyway, nice to see other "compatriotes" here

frimann · Post by **frimann** » 21 Aug 2007, 14:38

I don't think it has been mentioned before so here goes:

More Jackie Chan French DVDs due later this year according to fnac.com and alapage.com

9th October 2007
Le Chinois (Battle Creek Brawl)... actually this one was mentioned by Tom

Le Retour du Chinois (The Protector)
First Mission (Heart of Dragon)
Soif de Justice (Wheels on Meals)

And according to fnac.com only

13th November 2007
La Hyene intrepide (The Fearless Hyena)
Le Cri de le Hyene (The Fearless Hyena 2)

Hi freeman

Give us some preuves:

What titles are HK Vidéo going to release in 2008 ?
We want titles, dates and extras.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 22 Aug 2007, 16:37

Preuves?

Proof?

dvdvision · Post by **dvdvision** » 22 Aug 2007, 21:30

Qu'est ce que tu veux dire par preuves ? A HK, ils savent pas ce qu'ils vont sortir dans trois mois, alors dans un an...

I knew it 8)

I really liked that magazine (that was like 6-7 years ago, pfiouu...), especially the HK part. Are you now part of a magazine of the same kind?

Anyway we're here to talk about forthcoming French dvd releases of Asian movies... I hope you'll be able to give us some good information in the future

dvdvision · Post by **dvdvision** » 23 Aug 2007, 21:35

Hey frimann, yes, DVDvision ran from 1999 to 2003, I quit when it was sold to another company who wanted to change everything, and they destroyed it six months after I left, sadly. There were 33 issues total under my command, including the 007 official mag and the Lawrence of Arabia special. The rest have nothing to do with me.

I now own www.dvdvision.fr , a tribute site to the original mag, and I have some ammo in reserve to sort of renew that spirit, soon with HD... watch and see !

Regarding HK DVD, they are doing a great job, and perhaps I will post more info soon. :bom:

frimann · Post by **frimann** » 24 Aug 2007, 17:23

Hop, bookmarked

(ahh good memories with covers of the magazine in the banner...)

Thanks, I'll check the website later.

More Jackie Chan movies to come out on DVD in December according to a siulong on the hkcinemagic forum:
Le gagnant / Winners and Sinners
Le flic de Hong Kong 1 / My Lucky Stars
Le flic de Hong Kong 2 / Twinkle Twinkle Lucky Stars
Big Brother / Miracles

I'd be mostly interested by My Lucky Stars, as the dubtitles on the R1 Fox pissed me off :shock:

frimann · Post by **frimann** » 24 Aug 2007, 17:53

The front and back covers for the French dvd of From Beijing With Love, out September 18th

Extras: trailers, photo galleries, 32-pages booklet
Languages: original Cantonese mono, Cantonese 5.1 and French 5.1 (who cares?

)
Subs: French

Source: dvdrama

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 24 Aug 2007, 19:19

On HK Flix it says something about Wiesenstien Co rights stopping them shipping the Universe disc. Do DD have this title (From beijing With Love) or something?

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 25 Aug 2007, 09:27

Possibly. Not that they'd ever release it.
Took them years to release Shaolin Soccer.

"Wiesenstien"

You're not too good at spelling, are ya ?
It's Weinstein.

Re: From Beijing With Love:
I hope HKV have spent a lot of time working on the subs.
Chow's puns are extremely difficult to translate.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 25 Aug 2007, 19:53

No I'm not, I should have just copied/pasted it.
I'll get the Universe disc then, that'll be the next best thing
