Oops, sorry, I don't typically look in the Asia forum. Since this is an Australian studio makes more sense for it to appear in the Australian forum.

I collect Imprint releases, including the three from this line so far, and check the Imprint related threads all the time. Not ONCE would it have occurred to me to go to the Asia forum to read about these releases from an Australian label. This is a much more appropriate location.

The Wandering Earth II has new cover art.

A trailer has been posted for Hero:

It's just a HD version of the old trailer.

Next lot of releases have been announced.

Happy for more Takeshi Kitano.

Imprint is showing Lost in the Stars as having only 5 copies left - although I'm sure there is still more stock with other retailers.

Lost in the Stars - Imprint Asia 1

Still, good to see they are selling (even if some of them aren't as "premium" as they should be).

Imprint Asia is back in January, with three more releases announced tomorrow. 🔥

A steamy three film Hardbox, a worldwide Blu-ray debut for a passionate romantic drama, and a worldwide Blu-ray debut for a 2024 comedy-drama.

Tune in tomorrow for the reveal of our fourth wave of Imprint Asia!

I'm assuming the steamy three film hardbox will be the Erotic Ghost Story trilogy previously posted.

jamoweed · 10-18-2024, 06:55 AM

Website links for January titles:
Erotic Ghost Story Trilogy (1990 – 1992) – Imprint Asia #10 – 12

Zhou Yu’s Train (2002) – Imprint Asia #13

YOLO (2024) – Imprint Asia #14

It'll be interesting to see how the Erotic Ghost Story trilogy compares to the 88 set

Snowgirl is flawless masterpiece. Extremely well done swordplay adventure with a slight touch of fairytale and my fav Lo Wei movie. Own already IVL and United dvds and happy to add BR into collection.

Can`t go with bundle I have seen one of those Monkey movies and did not like. And bad snakephobia terminates other title. For same reason did not buy recent MM indonesian movie.

I have the four Monkey films on dvd. They were being released just as Shaw went all out with Wuxia, so the martial arts is more on the Peking Opera side and the movies have a few musical numbers, from memory (it’s been a while).

I may pick up the three Shaw Bros. movies, seeing as they're Region Free. Since they are, though, I wonder if that means none of the US labels have them for licensing? If they end up in a later boxset or something, that's fine. I like the look of these. Just hope they're genuine restorations.

jamoweed · 03-28-2025, 05:47 AM

May releases links:

Shaw-Shock: Shaw Brothers Horror Collection – Volume One (1976 – 1984) – Imprint Asia #18 – 20

Portrait In Crystal (1983) – Imprint Asia #21

The Lost Bladesman (2011) – Imprint Asia #22

Imprint Asia Bundle Pack – May 2025

jamoweed · 03-28-2025, 05:49 AM

The Lost Bladesman has been released here before, under Icon's Wu Xing Collection sub-label.

rip63 · 03-28-2025, 08:51 AM

Seeding Of A Ghost is awesome. I have the now out-of-print 88 Films release.

filmlover22 · 03-28-2025, 09:22 AM

That is quite a month! I really didn't think another label would be engaging in Shaw Brothers at this point. Arrow, 88, Eureka, and Shout have cornered the market - or so I thought. Would be very interested to see if any of these end up in a box set from Arrow of Shout in the future. For now, this is fascinating to me.
