i read Mark's post-to me it doesn't intimate Toby had/has a connection to HKL,just that he knew contender wanted will & grace-maybe i'm reading it wrong.

Okay I only wanted to know where Toby found out but forget it my head now hurts, it's not important.

Doesn't seem like anything else is coming from HKL. What a waste of potential they've been

IronMonkey · Post by **IronMonkey** » 15 Oct 2007, 17:12

Yeah, its been a while since their last release. I lost interest a long time ago now.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 15 Oct 2007, 17:27

They are still releasing DVDs but mostly on their Premier Asia label now.

"The City of Violence" was only recently released, identical to the Dragon's Dynasty release really except for no commentary. The days of HKL releasing 2-3 titles a month is long gone though.

I finally ordered HKL's 'Wheels on Meals' yesterday. I still haven't seen this film!

Killer Meteor · Post by **Killer Meteor** » 15 Oct 2007, 20:21

I still have about 15 HKL's left to get. And practically all the Premier Asias - I only have 3 of those!

gasteropod · Post by **gasteropod** » 15 Oct 2007, 20:45

You don't need to collect them all, Ivan!

Killer Meteor · Post by **Killer Meteor** » 15 Oct 2007, 22:10

No, but I want the films. I'm avoiding the cut stuff though

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 15 Oct 2007, 22:40

I think the label is dead so you should have time to catch up.

Killer Meteor · Post by **Killer Meteor** » 15 Oct 2007, 23:45

Yeah, just hope stuff doesn't go OOP before I get it. The oldest of their releases (in terms of when the DVD was released) is Red Wolf

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 15 Oct 2007, 23:51

Which ones are you after BTW?

(Apart from Red Wolf which I don't have).

They've been quietly releasing old school kung fu under their Ultra-bit banner which is marketing talk for no extras.

Killer Meteor · Post by **Killer Meteor** » 16 Oct 2007, 02:25

Nearly all of those Ultrabits have no original mono - just downmixes of the FS rubbish. A shame, because some of my all time faves are among them

HKLs still to get that I want

Fearless Hyena
Last Hurrah For Chivalry
Flaming Brothers
Iceman Cometh
She Shoots Straight
The Story Of Ricki
The Master
King Of Beggars
Red Wolf
First Option
Naked Weapon
Seoul Raiders

I didn't know that thanks. That is a pity.

Seoul Raiders is still £1.50 at CD WOW. I bought it recently:

That link is the UK site with no vouchers added, just for info. Use the usual USA voucher link and also a $2 off code and it will be knocked down to $2.99 (about £1.50).

The Master is also the same price too:

Killer Meteor · Post by **Killer Meteor** » 16 Oct 2007, 03:50

Last Hurrah and Fearless Hyena are genuine mono though

Thanks for the links!

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 16 Oct 2007, 04:55

No worries.

I have just bought Drive which although not strictly a HKL title, is by the same people. I still have yet to watch it to sse if ti holds up against nostalgia.

Killer Meteor · Post by **Killer Meteor** » 22 Oct 2007, 01:19

I still haven't seen Drive. It looked pretty good from the trailer

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 22 Oct 2007, 01:28

It's good fun, the plot is very ropey but it's definitely worth a watch. I was pleasantly surprised. The action is decent.

bleeper · Post by **bleeper** » 22 Oct 2007, 17:06

I got it for about 3 quid including P & P from Amazon

gasteropod · Post by **gasteropod** » 22 Oct 2007, 18:07

I could never find a copy of Drive which would play all the way through after the layer change lol.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 22 Oct 2007, 18:34

It worked fine for me. If anyone wants my copy for £3.50 it's theirs.

Affiliate accounts shut-down, forum shut, and now the website seemingly!

IronMonkey · Post by **IronMonkey** » 16 Nov 2007, 23:24

Doesn't surprise me. I haven't bought any of their DVDs in a long time. Its a shame, but they never listened to peoples' complaints about the quality of the discs, so ultimately I think they have shut down because they're not selling enough...
