I'm sure there are still a few Indian 3D films missing from the list. Kochadaiiyaan is another I just added but I have to work through the full list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Indian_3D_films

I would LOVE to see a 3D Shaw movie! Found this on HKMDB--seems it was also known as "Black Gloves." If you click on "images," there are a couple lobby cards/posters. I don't seen anything in English on those indicating 3D. Anyone here read Chinese?

Edit: Can't seem to get the link to work. Here's the main page, you can search for "Black Gloves" in the "movie" box :

I'm Chinese, I found this film had two Chinese titles too, "黑手套"(Black Gloves) and "夢裡驚魂"(Nightmare). Here's the images I found online from an old movie magazine "Movie Circle" about this film, which are the only information I found saying this in 3D.

"We already had a detailed article about the production status of Black Gloves back in the Vol.14 of our maganize. This 3D film cost a lot money and time during its production. Especially on the technical part, many efforts were made to ensure the image could come out of the screen. With the continuing improvements on technology, the film is near its completion and very close to meet the audiences."

Looks like there's a previous volume of the magazine told the details of its 3D production, I would love to read that!

Hello Mr. 13th:

What are your thoughts on the book by Mr. R.M. Hayes, 3-D Movies?

I see it has literally thousands of movies listed, with reviews, that never made it to blu-ray or dvd (250 pages of them!)

It is one of my go-to sources when I find a side-by-side and have to decide if the 3d is worth investing in. Like Fort Ti for example, with the first spit in your face in 3d!

Only wish it was more up to date.

Robert Furmanek · 04-21-2018, 03:20 PM

The Hayes 3-D book is riddled with mistakes. In some cases, if he didn't have information, he fabricated data.

Here are 60 pages of corrections on his widescreen book: http://www.film-tech.com/warehouse/tips/WSMC20.pdf

There is a need for an accurate and up-to-date narrative history of 3-D cinema.

Hello Bob:

Thank you for your, as always, infinite knowledge on the subject so dear to all our hearts.

Do you have a recommendation of another book that is factually correct on the history of 3-D movies?

I was just happy to find a book that gave me 250 pages of reviews, etc of 3-D Movies. But I did not know that I was better off not reading it as it was so full of errors as to be basically useless. Does it have any redeeming characteristics or should I just burn it?

Robert Furmanek · 04-21-2018, 07:48 PM

I would never advocate book-burning.

That being said, the definitive and accurate book on 3-D movies has yet to be written.

Thanks Bob. That is too bad. I'll just use it as a reference knowing the flaws it has. It looks like it is the best book we have available right now that touches on so many of these lost 3-D Movies.

Would you recommend everyone who loves 3-D still have a copy of it, warts and all?

Sincerely, Bill Batchelor

Asked someone from Shanghai Film Studio, they haven’t restored Magician's Adventure (Mo shu shi de qi yu, 魔术师的奇遇) yet but they have plans for it... Hope they will do a decent 3D restoration for this film soon...

Add Legend of the Naga Pearls to this list.

It was converted to 3d in post production and released in 3D and IMAX 3D in China, but has no blu ray 3d release available and i don't think there will ever be one.

Naga Pearls, the first Journey to the West and Kung Fu Hustle are on my wish list for 3D releases from china that never came to be.

Biss Skyler Bluray · 07-16-2018, 04:52 AM

Add Operation Red Sea to this list, it looks like this movie ain't getting a blu ray 3D release in Hong Kong.

Jonnyxll · 07-23-2018, 02:12 PM

Found Footage 3D can be eliminated from the list. A 3D Blu-Ray is coming soon. :-)

I have removed it but there's a question mark over this release, as it may be anaglyph only, in which case it's not a real 3D blu-ray and will be going back on the list.

...and now that the bad news is in about Magnolia's US release, it's back on the list, still awaiting a real 3D blu-ray...

Wow will have to research that.

I noticed this title, Ali with Will Smith, is listed on Ebay, coming from Russia, and noticed that it is shown as being in 3d for $20.00. I know Mr. 13th is going to chastise me for my wishful thinking but I had to ask. Just a coincidence?

Same for original Independence Day with Will Smith. Wasn't it supposed to be re-released at some point in 3d, but cancelled. I noticed these same people have that title in 3d as well. Any thoughts?

Sad but truth...
This is only a anaglyph version of the movie.
Please add this movie again. Thanks

I see in this and other threads people lamenting all the modern 3d films that don't get 3d Blu-ray releases, at least not here in Zone A. But if one is willing to import, and one has made the investment of a multi-zone player, how many NEW 3d films are still completely unavailable?
