Dance Of The Drunk Mantis - anyone seen it?

Post by grim_tales »

I have this on rental from CD-WOW (I think its' the Soulblade/Contender one). How does it compare to the first Drunken Master (1978)? More of the same? :)

Strangely, there was a "DOTDM" DVD for which no cover art was provided which CD-WOW are having a lot of trouble getting. This one is advertised as the Soulblade release. Theres another one with different art which lists "Contender Entertainment Group" as the distributors. (Thats the one I rented as they came out around the same time), the Contender one seemed easier to get.
Very strange...

I have the Mei Ah, which has properly flagged widescreen picture.

Good film. I think I prefer the first one, but I find Dance lends it self more to repeated viewing

Now...where's a correct dvd of Drunken Master?
