The Martial Arts Blu-ray Release Thread

[OrlandoEastwood]

I like Lord of the Wu-Tang aka The Evil Cult. It's a 1993 film with Jet Li as the protagonist and Colin Chou as the antagonist. Sammo Hung is Jet Li's master in the film too. I'm sure this one would take like a million years to hit Blu-Ray.

[C-Knights]

These are some of my favourites;

Iron Monkey - Donnie Yen
Legend of a Fighter - Leung Kar Yan
Tai Chi Boxer - Jackie Wu
The Shaolin Temple - Jet Li
Fist of Legend - Jet Li
Hero - Jet Li
Drunken Master - Jackie Chan
Snake in the Eagle's Shadow - Jet Li
Police Story - Jackie Chan
Heart of the Dragon - Jackie Chan
The Blade - Chiu Cheuk
The Duel - Ekin Cheng
Storm Riders - Ekin Cheng
A Man Called Hero - Ekin Cheng
The Legend Of Zu - Ekin Cheng

Hope to see them all on blu one day

I agree I just watched enter the Dragon lastnight for the first time on BD,and I loved it,Bruce Lee is so bad @ss. Pretty descent transfer to for a 1973 film i thought!

Another movie I really enjoyed back in the day was No Retreat, No Surrender 2. The fight scenes were pretty cool. Directed by Corey Yeun and starring Loren Avedon and Cynthia Rothrock.

For me it was the Jackie Chan movies which I enjoyed as a kid back in the 1980's

Fist of Legend (definitely the best I've ever seen)
Legend of the Drunken Master (aka Drunken Master 2)
The Protector

Just wanted to see how many of you kung-fu fans are hyped about a few shaws coming to blu and do you have any info on kung-fu (shaw brothers or not) titles in the works.

[6thDeadlyVenom]

Shaolin Master Killer is coming early next year but its the only film I know of.

[OpFeRmEtZgER]

i´m really a big fan of the shaw bros.classics but i didn´t like that they filtered out all the sweet "rain" on the dvds
i love the grindhouse look.
I really don´t know if i will get them on blu ray.

[6thDeadlyVenom]

I ordered the kickboxer with van damme blue ray. Anyone canc omment how good the pq is?

[Clark Kent]

Opium & the Kung Fu Master was okay, but I am waiting for the better Shaw Bros. flicks. I think we will start seeing a lot more in the next year, now that Blu-ray has become more common.

[lhslancers]

Think I'll pass unless the PQ is outstanding. Good luck widdat.

I thought Opium and the Kung Fu Master was amazing.

Media Blasters is releasing Chang Cheh's The Deadly Duo next month! Also, Funimation apparently picked up BCI's "lost" Shaw Bros acquisitions, so it's possible they could release blu-rays of their Shaws as well. Meanwhile, the HK blu-ray of The Big Boss looks pretty good, but the price is still WAY too high for it... and it's one of my favorite films!

[The Dragon]

See my collection...
Axiously awaiting the new Shaw br's! 36Th Chamber of Shaolin is a perfect title to get things going!

Life Gamble was supposedly already done when BCI went bankrupt, as a couple of review copies made it out. They should release that if they can.

[6thDeadlyVenom]

If you are martial art fans I also recommend fist of legend. Also play 2 games for dreamcast called shenmue 1 and 2, they still are the greatest games ever made and possibly most expensive to date to create.

I had pre-ordered life gamble from amazon earlier in the year. However, it never came out. I was hoping that BCI would put it out since I hear it was complete but they never did. I picked up Opium and the Kung-Fu masters when it hit blu-ray. I would love to see an upgraded version of the 5 deadly venoms. Oops i mean 6th - lol. Cool name by the way
