6 Hong Kong - DVD:tä (Sammo Hung, Tsui Hark, Jackie Chan)

The Bastard (1973) DVD R0 SHAW BROTHERS - Yuen Chor - Levyssä hyvin vähäistä hiusnaarmua jolla ei ole vaikutusta toistoon.'

Legend of a Fighter DVD (Hong Kong Legends / R2) - Levyssä naarmua, mutta olen katsnout sen häiriöttä alusta loppuun ennen myyntiin laittoa. Kotelossa hankaumaa ja jälkeä.

The Magnificent Butcher DVD (Sammo Hung / Hong Kong Legends) - Levyssä pientä jälkeä joka ei vaikuta toistoon.

Project A (2DVD / Jackie Chan) Hong Kong Legends - Levyissä muutama hädin tuskin havaittava hiusnaarmu.

The Blade DVD (1995 / Tsui Hark /Eng-sub/ Region Free) - Levyssä hieman kevyttä jälkeä, mutta pyörii moiteetta. Kansissa hankauskulumaa. Tämä on Warner-Archiven Manufactured-on-Demand DVD, eli DVD-R. Kyseessä on siis virallinen julkaisu vaikka onkin DVD-R-levyllä.

Ääni: Kiina, Thai

That Shaw Brother's movies would register emotionally in several ways, I had no doubt about going into my first ones. Chang Cheh gave us the epic scope and the pairings of David Chiang and Ti Lung. Lau Kar Leung the absolute finest in kung fu action and Chor Yuen definitely possessed the best eye for visuals out of these more widely known directors. Chu, more associated with, as evident through the various dvd releases over the last few years, adaptations of Gu Long's complex Wuxia novels, there also existed efforts not relying on the famed author but ones with genuine skill for dramatic storytelling in combination with that famed eye. For what it's worth coming out of this relatively newcomer to Shaw Brother's films, The Bastard remains one of the finest out of any genre he attempted.

Based on the real-life exploits of Butcher Wing, Magnificent Butcher is an action-packed kung fu comedy filled with lowbrow physical slapstick and breathtaking, if repetitive fight scenes. Sammo Hung is the well-intentioned 19th-century butcher whose unerring ability to misread a situation leads to trouble. When Wing's long-absent brother comes to town, Ko Tai-Hoi (Hark-On Fung) imprisons his wife, and our hero joins forces with an old drunken kung fu master played by Siu Tien Yuen (reprising his title role from Drunken Master which brought Jackie Chan to fame). This is Siu Tien Yuen's last film and it's obvious he's been replaced by a stunt double at times, although it remains a fine tribute to his remarkable martial arts talent. Taking an unexpected turn with a brutal attempted rape and murder, farce gives way to bloody retribution. The gradual return of comical elements may seem at odds with the later more realistic violence. While the uneven tone jars, the film is an impressive showcase for some of the greatest talents in Hong Kong cinema. Director Woo-ping Yuen has since found fame as the kung fu/action choreographer on The Matrix (1999) and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000).

Considering how poor most 1970s Hong Kong films looked on video, the anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 image here is superb; pin sharp with accurate colours and barely a hint of grain. Unfortunately there is still a little of the image missing at the sides, though it is a vast improvement over any panned and scanned cassette. The mono audio is generally good, though the music distorts occasionally. There are two soundtracks: the original Cantonese with optional subtitles, and a bad English dub. Additionally there is an outstanding audio commentary by Bey Logan packed with fascinating information about martial arts, Hong Kong cinema and the historical characters the film is based on. A 12-minute interview with Sammo Hung and 20-minute interview with Woo-ping Yuen are both interesting, though are not specific to Magnificent Butcher. Beyond these there are detailed biographies of star and director, an extensive stills gallery, stills from deleted scenes, two trailers and text information and photos of the real Butcher Wing. Finally, making stylised ultra-violence look extremely cool, there are ten anamorphically enhanced widescreen trailers for further releases. When "Hong Kong Legends" say they want to produce the best quality DVDs in the world they clearly mean it. This is a fine package assembled with the loving care of true fans
