I heard Media Blasters will be releasing 20 movies, so there will be more R1 Shaws. I heard about it a while ago and they all sound good. Chinese Super Ninjas is on the list. A lot of times Media Blasters doesn't follow through with their plans so I have my fingers crossed.

Great news for Shaw Brothers fans
http://hkfilmnews.blogspot.com/2008/...-us-shaws.html
"This is direct from BCI. They have signed a deal with Celestial Pictures to release 15 films during 2008 & 2009. The titles are: Life Gamble Opium and the Kung Fu Master The 14 Amazons Shaolin Hand Lock Hong Kong Godfather Shaolin Prince Invincible Shaolin The Basterd Swordsman The Duel Return of the Basterd Swordsman Shaolin Rescuers Soul of the Sword The Lady Hermit The Supreme Swordsman The Sword of Swords" This is such awesome news for Shaw Brothers fans. Some really REALLY good titles on there. And I have always wanted a remastered uncut version of the blood drenched Hong Kong Godfather.

I just got word from gfanikf on kungfufandom that they are trying to make sure Hong Kong Godfathers is uncut and the prints they are using are HD masters.

I haven't seen like half of those movies, but I have heard some GREAT things about Sword of Swords, the Basterd swordsman, Soul of the Sword and LAdy Hermit. This is so awesome!!!

I know I've seen the following:
Shaolin Hand Lock Opium and the Kung Fu Master Shaolin Prince Invincible Shaolin The B@st@rd Swordsman Return of the B@st@rd Swordsman The Duel Shaolin Rescuers (I think the real title is Avenging Warriors of Shaolin). I think I might have seen Life Gamble. I wonder if Soul of the Sword is the Andy Lau/Anita Mui swordplay fantasy from the '90s?

Soul of the Sword is a Shaws Ti Lung movie. Like most shaw movies from the time is has about 100 other recognizable faces ( I'm going by info I found on hkcinemagic.com).
Life Gamble stars Fu Sheng (in a non fighting role). Interesting movie, but kind of boring. Not a lot of fighting. Lo meng and Fu Sheng use flying daggers, Chiang Sheng uses a whip, and Lu Feng has an iron claw (this may have been the inspiration for his iron claws he uses in Crippled Avengers). Wang Lung Wei and Ku Feng have small roles. There are some pretty ladies who have big roles, including Kara Hui. Lee I Min and Kuo Choi have a really cool fight at the end. Kuo choi uses a few different weapons including double nunchukas. The other movies I have seen on that list are- Hong Kong Godfather Invincible Shaolin Shaolin Prince the Duel Shaolin Rescuers (my favorite venoms movie)

So if BCI has signed with Celestial, then the quality of the transfers should be up to Celestial/DD level of clarity. (isn't BCI the same company that puts out the Rarescope releases?).
I might have seen that Sould of the Sword, then. There was a super-abundance of Ti Lung swordplay movies (most directed by Chu Yuan, aka, Chor Yuen) that the Asian theaters used to show, such that the titles are mostly forgotten. Most were good quality, though. Not to mention that some movies are mentioned or released with different titles, creating ultimate confusion for a kung fu movie buff.

Yeah they put out the Rarescope releases.
The quality should be really good on the Shaw releases. They have the HD masters which is what Dragon Dynasty uses, so it is even better quality than the region 3 Deltamac and IVL releases.

Well then why not just buy the ones that are already out. I have a number of them already. A few on the last I don't care for. What I am asking is if they are already available remastered what is the big deal that another company will release them as well?

I prefer the cantonese to the english dubs myself. Being a kung fu person when you hear certain things they make more sense rather than some of the english translations. Names of styles and somethings, which for most might not mean much but I can understand the Region 1 aspect.
Some of the IVLs are also from HD masters but you are right not all. In any event their quality is quite good.
