Yeah, Azon now says ships within 7-11 days. And I called Fry's, a no show. I wish I would have pre-ordered them for that price.

By the way, what shaw bros ARE on blu-ray already.

I just received shipment notification from Amazon for the three Shaw Bros. Blu-rays (Delightful Forest, Heroic Ones, Brothers Five). Looks like I'll be having a Shaw Bros. weekend!

Let us know what you think about the transfers.

If these are just from the Celestial Releases, they should look pretty solid.

Good news! Delightful Forest has choice of English or Mandarin language and choice of English or Chinese subtitles. I have not watched it through yet -- but the opening scene looked quite good to my eyes.

Re: More SHAW BROTHERS titles from Wells Go USA - 4/6/10

I watched it. I had never seen it before and I enjoyed the movie - the plot, characters, and the Morricone tracks that play throughout it were great. As for the quality -- most of the movie looked great, but there were some image flickers (don't know the proper term, but the image would jump and there may be a slight pop sound) and a couple of scenes seemed out of focus (not sure what would cause this or if it was my setup). I have not watched the other two movies yet -- so I cannot compare their quality.

Overall, I was pleased since the movie itself was enjoyable and the price point was low ($11.99) when I ordered it.

Based on post # 17, I would wager that it was Delightful Forest.

Thanks riotinmyskull! Maybe that explains the blurring I was seeing.
