James White was on a podcast talking about his restoration work for Arrow and the Shaw Brothers box set came up (starts at 34:05). Some quick notes:

-There will be two volumes, they're roughly in chronological order. Basically confirms 36th Chamber will be in volume 2.
-L'Immagine Ritrovata is involved with the transfers, but R3store Studios in London are doing the color grading with supervision from Arrow
-About 30 total films from Celestial are involved (presumably 24 in the sets, about 6 outside of it? Presumably films for the US that 88 Films or Eureka owns in the UK)
-Chinatown Kid has 2nd generation elements for the missing 30 minutes+ of footage, it will be the original full length cut

At least it wont be that old "insert full frame VHS upscale into missing scenes" BS that has gone on before.
