I've not seen anything this weekend, but I managed to bag Eastern Condors for less than a fiver on eBay!
Just Dragons forever and Wheels on Meals and I can retire...

Man, there's a copy of Wheels on Meals going on eBay at the moment.
It's up to £19 already but seems to be going for around £30 and I'm not forking out that much!
It's a great film and 2-disc package, but that's a crazy price.
Decisions, decisions!
EDIT: Left it. Went for £23, but I've loads of others to watch first and I'm convinced I'll find a copy at a car boot sale!Last edited by QualityChimp; 09-03-2010, 10:47.

Has no uk distrubutor picked up the rights yet then. I guess they will come out via HK Blurays in any case. I'm not really bothered about extras these days so might be a good time to get rid of my HKL seeing as their value has gone up unlike the rest of my dvds, which are pretty much worthless!

I think you should post a big list of all your dvds and give me first refusal on them I'd guarantee you'd have a few I want!
I think there's a few Bruce Lee releases on BR - Big Boss, Fist of Fury, Way of the Dragon and Enter the Dragon - by Fortune Star, who own about 600 films from the Golden Harvest library and other catalogues.
Dragon Dynasty have released 36th Chamber of Shaolin on BR, but I'm sure I've read that it's a poor dvd conversion.
There's also these four: http://www.movieroomreviews.com/kung...lu-ray-reviewsLast edited by prinnysquad; 09-03-2010, 21:50.

Yeah, Megatron! Get listing!
It's a real shame HKL went bust as their DVDs were real examples of how a release should be done.
Remastered and re-formatted for widescreen as standard and then as many bonus features as they can find. Obviously, Bey Logan (the walking kung-fu film encyclopaedia) adds some real meat the the films he commentates on, but they always try to put something extra on their films.
When they get it right, they really did shine.
I think they could be a little bit loose with the term "special edition" from time to time though. For example, the only extras on Eastern Condors DVD that came yesterday was a couple of Sammo interviews and actor biogs.
Their platinum editions of films are normally astonishing though.
Prin, have you followed the links to Amazon for those blu-rays? Although the films are great, people are slating the presentations. Iron Monkey has got dialogue and even fights cut from it. Legend of Drunken Master has similar cuts, stilted and incorrect dub/subs and there's not even a soundtrack! The whole film has no music!

Is this the film you speak of?
Sweet mother-of-pearl, it looks ropey!
Is that a cart shaped like a rat's head? Is that a monster made out of a watermelon? is that a sword the size of a bike?
I bet Prinny has it!
Here's another review.
Here's the watermelon fight:

Haven't checked out anything about blu-ray releases, btw. I'm still a Man of DVD and no nothing of such things.
