More Dragon Dynasty on the Way
In an early announcement to retailers, it has been revealed that, on August 10, Vivendi Visual Entertainment will release four Asian films as part of its Dragon Dynasty collection: An Empress and the Warriors (Kwong saan mei yan, 2008); Invisible Target (Naam yi boon sik, 2007); The Legend of Fong Sai Yuk (Fong Sai Yuk, 1993), and Tai Chi Master (Tai ji: Zhang San Feng, 1993).
I know that Dragon Dynasty has been the best when it comes to their blu-rays, but I think that they are getting better. |

Re: More Dragon Dynasty on the Way
Nice. Invisible Target, The Legend of Fong Sai Yuk and Tai Chi Master for me.

Re: More Dragon Dynasty on the Way
I have the UK Empress and the Warriors, but I'll get the rest!
|
Re: More Dragon Dynasty on the Way
Yeah....how about we fucking wait for the reviews before we even say anything?
|
Re: More Dragon Dynasty on the Way
Boring. None of these interest me. I want Kill Zone, Flash Point and The Rebel.

Re: More Dragon Dynasty on the Way
It's actually not directed at you...just...in general. I think it's time we all get cautious for DD releases. YES, those titles are well loved by a lot of us...but...the quality received on the format is very lacking. So...until we get reviews...I won't get excited.

Re: More Dragon Dynasty on the Way
Great. Can't wait for more lackluster PQ, dubtitles, and lossy audio tracks.
|
Re: More Dragon Dynasty on the Way
^this is what most of us fear..and with good reason based on there current and very steady record so far.

Re: More Dragon Dynasty on the Way
I'm about to head to Best Buy, but I'll bet that the BRs that are scheduled for August are being released at Best Buy today.

Re: More Dragon Dynasty on the Way
Might just have to make the 30-minute trek to Best Buy this evening to check on <del>Legend of the Black Scorpion</del> The Banquet. :up:

Re: More Dragon Dynasty on the Way
I already have the blu-rays for The Banquet and Empress & the Warriors from other countries. But I did buy Tai-Chi Master, as it's one of my favorite HK martial-arts movies of all time - I hope it has a good transfer. I also got Killzone since the HK/UK blu-ray of that cost too much back when I was thinking of getting it.
Anyone watch these yet - how do they look? I mostly want to know how they compare to their blu-rays from other countries, specifically The Banquet and Empress & Warriors. |
Re: More Dragon Dynasty on the Way
I got Kill Zone and Tai Chi Master. They had all of the Dragon Dynasty movies that are due out in August. Kill Zone does not have all of the special features from the dvd. It does have a lossless DTS track. Tai Chi Master does not have that annoying clipping effect that the dvd had. Overall, I am happy with these and plan to pick up the rest when I get paid.

isn't the cut of 'Legend of the Black Scorpion' actually not a complete, but slightly edited version of 'The Banquet'?

Re: More Dragon Dynasty on the Way
The running time on the blu-ray is the same as the dvd, which was the Dimension cut of the film.
|
Re: More Dragon Dynasty on the Way
No, the DD DVD was actually the uncut version. The dimension version runs the same length but thats just becuz of the new credits. If anyone actually bought this, please post details, thoughts and what not. Thanx!
Also, just wanted to mention that The Legend of Fong Sai Yuk is now simply "The Legend". Apparently they went back to the original American re-title. |
Re: More Dragon Dynasty on the Way
If they did use a cut version in the U.K. it would be because of censorship issues that we don't have in the U.S. I did buy the blu-ray and I think that the movie looks the best that it can. Hong Kong movies are not kept up like U.S. movies, but the transfer is a definite upgrade from the dvd.

Re: More Dragon Dynasty on the Way
Anyone have opinions on the A/V on Kill Zone/SPL? Subtitles or Dubtitles?
