Asian Movies in HD!

[grim_tales]

The most recent Jackie film I saw was The Myth (!) (unless The Forbidden Kingdom counts) both were pretty good, fun films imo
I know he features in Shaolin but I havent seen it yet. Shinjuku Incident - not seen
I havent seen 1911 though I hear thats a lot of boring crap

[luckystars]

Uk disc of Chinese Zodiac turned up today.forgot to cancel it ages ago as i assumed it'd be the cut international version.Well accordning to the rear packaging it's the uncut 2hr 4min version complete with Mandarin language option

When you've watched I've got a question

why wouldn't Forbidden Kingdom count has GDYY taken over your account Grim?

[grim_tales]

I wasnt sure if FK counted as a true "starring" role or not or more a supporting role, with Jet he's certainly one of the top stars in it

[grim_tales]

I was thinking of picking up the HK BD of 'Curse of the Golden Flower'.
Its much cheaper at DDD House than Yes Asia but DDD seem to show the cover of the US release so was wondering which version they sell.

Distributor-Edko Films. the pic will be a placeholder,i've not heard of DDDHouse selling usa versions.

Cheers

I have the Sony R1 BD of Golden Flower... any reason why you're after the HK release?

[grim_tales]

No reason really, it just seemed reasonably cheap (for a HK release) with better art

[grim_tales]

German BD of The Heroic Ones coming soon - dont know if its English friendly however:

http://www.amazon.de/S%C3%B6hne-gelben- ... PMX3YG9AXP

Will it better Well Go USA's effort?

[saltysam]

from what i've read elsewhere it won't be english friendly.

36th Chamber Trilogy in February:

They could just be upscales though

highly unlikely.it's not Fotune Star releasing these. i imagine they'll be ports of the french releases with english subs added and an english dub replaceing the french one.

[grim_tales]

Whats the general opinion on the quality of the French releases?

[saltysam]

positive,in the main.

[grim_tales]

Thanks, sounds good We'll have to wait and see I guess

[saltysam]

i won't,it'll be pre-ordered as soon as it appears on dddhouse.

[saltysam]

And...pre-ordered http://www.dddhouse.com/v3/product_deta ... ctID=14644

Saw this on Blu Ray.com, but Drunken Master is coming (doesnt say when) from Twilight Time (!)

https://www.facebook.com/twilighttimemo ... 7077334959
Seems an odd title for a company like that to release, I hope at least its Full HD with a good translation.

[saltysam]

it'll be the exact same transfer as the japanese releases with english audio & subs added.

[grim_tales]

Sounds good

I hate Twilight Time - an outfit based on greed who use Limited Edition status as an excuse to fleece consumers with £30 price tags.

[grim_tales]

There should be no reason to make it such an LE, but when it does come to TT, perhaps that means Sony or another company could release it in the UK?

I'm in the States and they annoy me. Look at the price of their BD of Breaking Away (unless this is an OOP price.) They have had several I've been interested in, but really just wanting them to be massed released.
