I think those two are good film. But I have talked with the copyrights holder. The material of HD is terrible. You can check the video and audio of the HK and American release version. So I think they just transferred HD, not the restored. Maybe after getting the restored Video, we will release it. I am serious consider the 4K restored police story trilogy played by Jackie Chan. Will debut? Haha

Tristan, if you are considering Hong Kong films Tsui Hark's incredible film THE BLADE still has no blu ray release at all, and artistically it's a masterpiece, up there with BRIDE WITH WHITE HAIR. Same with Sammo Hung's excellent PEDICAB DRIVER

In terms of mainland Chinese stuff you haven't gotten to JOURNEY TO THE WESTERN XIA EMPIRE would be a great choice to consider. 

It occurs to me that I may be one of very few on this site who has seen this picture. 

It is an art house film involving swordsman that makes beautiful use of the Gobi Desert region in Western China. It functions as a story a bit like HIGH NOON where everything builds to a climatic showdown between the virtuous and wicked. 

It is, even in the sub standard form I currently own it, a beautiful, powerful, film. It is the rarest kind of film: an unpretentious movie about very deep ideas. 

So excited for this release! Currently the only release I have of this film is a DVD that Facets recorded from a CUNY-TV broadcast. To say this will be an improvement is an understatement. 

Really wish this company would tackle some Hong Kong films...

Hey guys, this is my first group buy so please forgive a stupid question. When I filed out the OneClick deposit for 30 dollars I listed the title as SWORDSMAN IN DOUBLE FLAG TOWN WCL.

They'll know it's this Group Buy, right?

Thanks very much for the warm welcome

Hello everyone,

I'm a huge Asian cinema buff and collector. I just recently learned about Diskino and the WCL and am searching for their BRIDE WITH WHITE HAIR release and look forward to their SWORDSMAN IN DOUBLE FLAG TOWN release. When you learn about the WCL you learn that this is the absolute place to be to discuss it and get into it, so I'm looking forward to good times here!

I was the 18th person to choose wmcguire as his gmail handle, and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is one of the greatest movies ever made.
