Thanks Dablueguy. It appears that 5 ELEMENT NINJAS has gone OOP. I don't remember coming across this title on Mcarver's OOP lists of the last year or so. Amazon doesn't carry it anymore as well as DeepDiscount. I just bought one over at Borders.com with a coupon code. I guess they have a few left. Got it for $15 and change shipped. Has THE FLAG OF IRON gone OOP as well?

Question about THE KILLER.
I re-watched my Fox Lorber DVD and the subtitles referred to Chow Yun-Fat's character as "Jeffrey" and the names the two men give each other are "Dumbo" and "Mickey Mouse."
Now, I remember there was some discussion about different sets of subtitles for this film. Are these subtitles the "right" ones or the "wrong" ones? The favored ones or the unfavored ones?
Thanks.

Does anyone know if the TOKYO SHOCK/SHAW BROTHERS titles are going OOP? It appears that 5 ELEMENT NINJAS has indeed gone OOP. I can't find it anywhere. This dvd came out in January and it's already OOP? Whatever.

More Shaw Brothers releases from DD:
8 Diagram Pole Fighter October 12th, 2010
Shaolin Mantis November 16th, 2010
Disciples of the 36th Chamber December 7th, 2010
Plus Blu-rays of Hard Boiled and Robin-B-Hood on December 14th, 2010.
Amazon.ca still have the above two titles in stock.
Check out this link for this thread in which they list all of the Shaw Brothers North American releases by the different companies.

The subtitles for the DD, Fox Lorber and Criterion versions of Hard Boiled are dubtitles (subtitles that were taken from the English Dub). The Mei Ah release is the only one that uses proper subtitles based on the Cantonese dialogue.

I bought Crippled Avengers the other day, and noticed that the spine number is 44. Is Eight Diagram Pole Fighter supposed to be 43, even though it hasn't been released yet?

At their first face to face encounter, John and Li endow each other with insulting nicknames, subtitled as "Butt-Head" and "Numb-nuts," but closer in direct translation to "prawn's-head" and "big baby boy" (when The Killer was first released theatrically in the early '90s, these nicknames were subtitled as "Mickey Mouse" and "Dumbo.")

For everyone worrying about another last minute delay on "8 Diagram Pole Fighter," fear not. I have a copy for review in my hand. Initial glance shows this looks to be a solid disc on par with "36th Chamber of Shaolin." Barebones sadly, but I'm glad we have a good R1 edition. I should have a review up here in a few days.

In the first version with English subtitles, nearly everything in the film, including dialogue, the song, and characters' names, was mistranslated. For example, Chow Yun Fat's character is named Ah Jong, not Jeff or John. Currently, the only accurate English-subtitled version is the UK DVD release by Hong Kong Legends.

Robin-B-Hood releases next Tuesday, not my favorite, but looking forward to it since they have a decent track record with recent movies on Blu-ray.

I might get Robin-B-Hood, I need a Jackie Chan fix, and on blu-ray none the less. If we could get Police Story 3 uncut blu-ray, I would die a happy man.

It looks like August 9th is a big day as dvdaf has four Shaw Brothers movies scheduled for release from DD, and they haven't had anything new since December '10.
They are:
Executioners From Shaolin
Five Shaolin Masters
Mad Monkey Kung Fu
Martial Arts of Shaolin
I can't wait!

Just pre-ordered them, I sold off about 80 Shaw Brothers titles a few months back and have been regretting it ever since, need to start rebuilding the library.
