in 2024 i would love to see all these films get a U.S. region A blu-ray release (Eastern Condors) (MR Vampire box set) (Jackie Chans Who Am I) (The Bride with White Hair 1&2) (Legacy of Rage) (Iron Angels box set) (The Magnificent Butcher) (Encounters of the Spooky Kind 1&2) (Miracles) (Duel the the Death) (Dreadnaught)
I watched it last night, he doesn't show up until about halfway through, but he's a pretty big presence as the villain the second half of the film. It's not realyl an action movie, though, it's more of a crime drama. It was originally intended for Bruce Lee.
Slaughter in San Francisco (aka Yellow Faced Tiger) was one of many proposed projects for Bruce Lee. The story goes, he didn't want to fuck with Lo Wei anymore so he passed. The role went to Wong Tao (Don Wong) who basically disappeared after this bombed, popping back up a couple years later in the classics The Secret Rivals and The Hot, the Cool, and the Vicious. He's the fuckin' man!
It occurred to me a few years ago when I saw the Bolo Yeung movie he directed that other than Enter the Dragon and Battle Creek Brawl I know essentially nothing about his career. He's an interesting director because he made one of the most influential movies ever and he's basically a nobody in a lot of respects. No offense to him, but no one ever talks about him outside Bruce Lee and maybe JC as a footnote
I have heard tell of a secret or mysterious HD remaster of this film that is not commercially available to lables but has been shown in theaters and streamed that does not have the burned in subs, but I haven't seen it myself. I wonder what the deal is. I bet Michael Worth or Frank Djeng would know.
I didn't pick up any of the Joseph Kuo releases that Eureka put out last year (money reasons), but I couldn't resist pre-ordering The Swordsman of All Swordsmen! Not only does the story sound super interesting, but The Mystery of Chess Boxing being included on that 2nd disc makes this a must-have! I also pre-ordered Black Mask since I've been loving the Jet Li releases that Eureka has been releasing. I'm very excited for the rest of this year, and what may come, since so far it has been absolutely stacked with great releases! P.s. if you go as Chuck Slaughter for Halloween then I'll happily join you as Jackie Chan's iconic character "Die Hard", from Twin Dragons 😂
Chuck Slaughter and Die Hard would be such an amazing Halloween duo. The hair on Die Hard and the mustache on Chuck woudl be legendary. I totally agree on The Swordsman of All Swordsmen. It sound so facsitinag. Can't wait to check that on e out.
I would love for Eureka to release King Hu's The valiant ones. I saw today Spectrum are going to be releasing it in March so I am hopeful they will eventually do it justice.
Eureka King Hu releases would be divine. Spectrum has released a few King Hu sets haven't they? I have one with a massive book all in French in it, it's a great set, though I can't understand any of it 🤣
@@hkcinemasociety Eureka have released Dragon Inn, Touch of Zen, Fate of Lee Khan, Raining in the mountain and the other one with mountain in the title, but Valiant ones is missing. Most of the others have Tony Rayns in some capacity. Definitely worth picking up if you haven't already. I am very excited for Mystery of chessboxing.
@@mitchsfridaynightsongclub2594 I honestly totally forgot they released Dragon Inn and Touch of Zen. I remember the Fate of Lee Khan coming out and Raining in the Mountain. I have the Criterion Release of Touch of Zen. I need a physical copy of Dragon Inn, I love that movie.
@@hkcinemasociety Valiant ones is the only film that is missing. All of Eureka King Hu restorations are superb. I like Fate of Lee Khan, but it's not as good as Shaw brothers The black tavern, now that film needs an upgrade.
Hopefully Warner Bros will hear the pleas of the fans and put it out some day. They have apparently said they will be putting out more of the HK films they own on Blu-ray, but all we can do for now is wait and see, I guess. Probably won't have any bonus material on it, knowing WB.
@hkcinemasociety George Feltenstein has revealed on the extras podcast that pedicab driver is one of the titles being worked on for re-release on Blu-ray. Hopefully, with revised subtitles that aren't just sdh.
Hopefully Arrow has more Shaw sets coming soon. I think 88 has a few on the horizon, though I might be mistaken. Wang Yu movies I am all for! Bring them on. I have heard rumors that 2024 will be a year of many Jet Li releases, so it sounds like you may get your wish on that one.
The John Woo movies! Lol. Not. Seriously, The Master of The Flying Guillotine, Goyokin and The Emperor And The Warrior are my english friendly bluray dream releases for 2024. Whaddya think?
New Facebook group! The old one vanished, I have no idea why. Pile in and help create the new world order! facebook.com/groups/1528111117981371/
I ordered the Joseph Kuo release just for the mystery of chess boxing being added onto it
That's an absolutely insane bonus feature. A more popular film on a second disc. I understand the reasoning, but it's still crazy.
Hairy Beavers and the idea of a Slaughter in San Francisco/China O'Brien crossover.....what else could we ask for!
This needs to happen immediately. Who do we need to talk to?
I can’t wait for these releases! I’m super happy Eureka is branching across the pond for all of us fans here!
So exciting that they're doing Region A as well! What a huge development.
China O Brien & Black Mask were pre ordered immediately 😂
Getting wet in Beaver Creek line just cracked me up in hysterics 😂😂😂
I think I missed a trick though with Chuck Norris and beavers - there's a woodchuck joke in there somewhere 😂
I’m in tears! 😂
@@hkcinemasociety Booked my holidays 2 weeks in Beaver Creek getting wet & wild with China O Brien 😂😂 See what you started Will 😂😂😂
@@Timelord007 I'm sure their tourism busines will be through the roof when people find out how wet the beavers are 😂

Seconded! I'd buy that for a dollar. I want them all!
That's like 5 years worth of my budget
@@richconroy5559 🤣 same honestly
Eastern condors id die for
China O’ Brien 1-2 was an instant preorder for me when the trailer was uploaded. Very excited
I'm very excited for that set, never seen either film but I've loved all the other Rothrock movies I've seen
I really hope for Wang Yu and Blood of the Dragon AKA The Desperate Chase. This movie is epic and needs a restoration!
I'm not familiar with that movie at all! Bring on a remaster, I need to check it out.
@@hkcinemasociety ruclips.net/video/qv_TPQqpCPs/видео.htmlsi=LaMIJWAJqHgDcZtl
This is the best version with the best dub
I am most excited about The Mystery of Chess Boxing, sorry to hear about your FB group.
I'm very excited about that film as well, I've never seen it but rI'm dying to check it out.
Error 4444 is startjng to shipping some cat III movie and more title on the way soon. Hyped
Yeah they're going crazy with the Cat III releases. I really liked their release of Fatal Termination. Curious to see what else they put out.
I literally finished reading the new book LAST ACTION HEROES yesterday and I don't think this Chuck Norris movie is mentioned.
I watched it last night, he doesn't show up until about halfway through, but he's a pretty big presence as the villain the second half of the film. It's not realyl an action movie, though, it's more of a crime drama. It was originally intended for Bruce Lee.

I learned so much about this movie watching the Blu-ray the other night, such an interesting story behind the scenes.
I'm hyped for China O'Brien its been a long time coming since the days of VHS
I've actually never seen either film so I'm really excited to finally check those out.
I been hoping they would release them as we've never had them released on DVD in the UK@@hkcinemasociety
Surprised to learn Clouse directed Black Belt Jones too
It occurred to me a few years ago when I saw the Bolo Yeung movie he directed that other than Enter the Dragon and Battle Creek Brawl I know essentially nothing about his career.

No offense to him, but no one ever talks about him outside Bruce Lee and maybe JC as a footnote
I immediately preordered Black Mask and Slaughter in San Francisco. Hopefully Eureka or 88 films release Jet li's movie (Born to Defend) on Blu-Ray
I'm hoping to record my Slaughter in SF review today or tomorrow, excited to talk about that one
Hey! Tubi has The Mystery Of Chess Boxing on it without subtitles. I wonder if they couldn't get the print from their source?
I have heard tell of a secret or mysterious HD remaster of this film that is not commercially available to lables but has been shown in theaters and streamed that does not have the burned in subs, but I haven't seen it myself. I wonder what the deal is. I bet Michael Worth or Frank Djeng would know.
Im still hoping for Shaolin vs Lama and Musa aka The Warrior
Shaolin vs Lama is one of the most requested titles I've seen over the past few years, let's hope it gets a release soon!

I think, like most HK movie nuts, I would love to see a spanking new, fully-featured Blu-ray of Sammo Hung's PEDICAB DRIVER.
Hopefully Warner Bros will hear the pleas of the fans and put it out some day. They have apparently said they will be putting out more of the HK films they own on Blu-ray, but all we can do for now is wait and see, I guess. Probably won't have any bonus material on it, knowing WB.
@@hkcinemasociety WB put PEDICAB DRIVER out on their 'Warner Archive Collection' back in the day.
What happened to the library that Miramax owned?
@hkcinemasociety George Feltenstein has revealed on the extras podcast that pedicab driver is one of the titles being worked on for re-release on Blu-ray. Hopefully, with revised subtitles that aren't just sdh.
@@richconroy5559 I thought I heard that I heard that somewhere! Thanks for confirming.
More wang yu movies box sets and jet li box sets and more shaws
Hopefully Arrow has more Shaw sets coming soon. I think 88 has a few on the horizon, though I might be mistaken. Wang Yu movies I am all for! Bring them on.
I have heard rumors that 2024 will be a year of many Jet Li releases, so it sounds like you may get your wish on that one.
last year heard that Shaolin Vs Wutang was coming out,
Still hoping Nuigulumar Z aka Gothic Lolita Battle Bear comes out in the West
Oh man Shaolin vs Wu Tang would be great. Fingers crossed!
The John Woo movies! Lol. Not. Seriously, The Master of The Flying Guillotine, Goyokin and The Emperor And The Warrior are my english friendly bluray dream releases for 2024. Whaddya think?
Wu-Tang approves.
Bring the ruckus.
