Buyoyo is definitely on my list for imports now. Nice to have so many options; I've also ordered Chinese films this year from DDDHouse, Panorama, BadPandaShop, and Play-Asia - all of whom have all been good in my experiences with online orders shipping to Canada.

Equally confused as to why this title was reprinted, but am delighted regardless. It is stunning... absolutely a must-buy.

I wish Eddie Peng did more movies. He has so few where he is lead.

Yeah Buyoyo, although the website is clunky and old, is a fantastic reliable source.

I wonder how many of these they have sold now!

THANK YOU!~

Holy Canoli, my copy just came from this site - I'd never ordered here before, but shipping time was quick AND the price beat DDDHouse hands down! I'd just assumed it was out of print and gone forever.

Just got finished watching this, and can't thank you enough - will enjoy with the family again soon!

I actually watched this on Saturday with pizza & I am ready to tell you what I think, which is unfortunately not much. First let's do the good, which is the 3D. The 3D is an excellent conversion with lots of depth and it is particularly good in all of the action scenes. You will definitely not be disappointed with the 3D. Unfortunately, that's the only thing that's good about this. I can't tell you about the movie because I have no idea what happened. I couldn't even summarize the plot for you. That's pretty common for me with movies these days but I also don't pay attention to most movies I watch. This had full attention other than when my mind was wandering because of how bored I was. Specials are like 8 2-3 minute featurrettes which looked kind of cool except there's no English subs so unless you can speak that language (I don't know what language it is) don't expect to understand anything although I still feel like I was able to follow them as they were very formulaic behind the scenes stuff haha, especially the CGI one. Anyway, good 3D but not recommended as the movie was incomprehensible to me and might be for you as well.

I am used to this type of movie and rarely have any issues understanding what is going on even when multiple reviews might say otherwise. However I wasn't particularly impressed by the Movie Fu clip I saw in pseudo 3D. But in actual 3D it seems to work better. Yet another movie I will get around to watching.

I'm a huge martial arts movie fan, and I enjoyed this one for the story, set design, costumes and especially the 3D. I'm more of a fan of old-school fight choreography than the effects-driven modern screen fighting. Particularly in this one, where Sammo Hung is the main villain. When you watched Sammo in earlier films (especially in the 70s and 80s) he was incredibly physically skilled and acrobatic. He WAS doing all the amazing fight moves you saw in the film.

At his age now, of course he's not capable of that. But the computer effects and editing now make him look even faster and more skilled than he was in his youth. It just feels a little overly polished and empty now, to me. In the old days in Hong Kong, they didn't have the money and technology, so they needed really skilled actors to make these kinds of movies. That's no longer the case.

Still, a lot to like about this movie, and I really enjoyed seeing some of those rustic old Chinese streets and shops in stunning 3D. It's like you're stepping right back in time and are right there.

You mean Engish subs on the German release? (Since none of the 3D releases have English audio.) Yeah, that's right, I forgot the German releases don't have subtitles. Probably have to mux using the 2D US releases for English audio dub.

no english audio, not even subtitles. and I'm not tech savy enough to mux anything. might have to check that one day but that'd require multiple copy of the same which I'm not fond of.

Ok, my mistake for assuming you meant subs instead of audio, since NONE of the 3D releases have English audio. So it's a moot point even talking about English audio.

And like I'm assuming you meant "fond" instead of "found." Or am I mistaken there too?

you are correct, none have English audio but at least the Australian & HK version have English subs. and oops yes, I meant "fond".
