A Chinese Odyssey

Fantasy adventure about the arrival of Buddhism in China. When the Goddess of Happiness tosses the Longevity Monk and his disciples out of heaven (because the Monkey King tried to attain immortality), the Monkey King is reincarnated as the Joker. He now spends his time chasing two jealous women. When one of them is dying, the Joker goes back in time in an attempt to save her.

Group Buy is now open!

Not sure what to make of this (the films, not the output from UHD Club). Have a pretty sizeable Asian film collection but didn’t know about A Chinese Odyssey. The old trailers are super random. Hmmm.

Never seen these movies, I dont like that I read the words "double lenticular" but its UHD club so I'm in

Now I'm even more confused 🤔

[Veum]

I have no doubt UHD will be spectacular but just me, the story does not interest me. 😏

[deckard99]

It looks very interesting to me. There are 2 movies included in this release, parts 1 & 2.

 

According to IMDB part 1 is a "Fantasy adventure about the arrival of Buddhism in China. When the Goddess of Happiness tosses the Longevity Monk and his disciples out of heaven (because the Monkey King tried to attain immortality), the Monkey King is reincarnated as the Joker. He now spends his time chasing two jealous women. When one of them is dying, the Joker goes back in time in an attempt to save her."

 

Some more info:

A Chinese Odyssey is a two-part 1995 Hong Kong fantasy-comedy film directed by Jeffrey Lau and starring Stephen Chow. The first part is titled A Chinese Odyssey Part One: Pandora's Box while the second one is called A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Cinderella. The film is very loosely based on the 16th century Wu Cheng'en novel Journey to the West. Journey to the West (Chinese: 西遊記; pinyin: Xī Yóu Jì) is a Chinese novel published in the 16th century during the Ming dynasty and attributed to Wu Cheng'en. It is one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature. It has been described as arguably the most popular literary work in East Asia.

When I first saw this thread, I was thinking it was the comedy spoof A Chinese Odyssey 2002 (which I remember being hilarious). Now I see from IMDB that pretty much every third movie made in China is called A Chinese Odyssey. (That might be an exaggeration, but there are about seven.)

I am intrigued by this release but not sure I want to buy it.  I am all for supporting UHD as they seem to be very fan friendly and open to suggestions from us.  On the other hand, I don't know if I would watch it more than once.  And if I don't like part 1, I probably wouldn't bother watching part 2.

Is this a remaster ? 

[hal56]

Previous releases had horribly bad english subtitles. Many grammar and spelling mistakes and very bad timing. 

If they have been revised and improved on this version I ll bite, otherwise its an easy pass.

That trailer had more walking than LOTR. 1/2 the trailer was credits. I didn't get a real good sense of the movie. And the sound of a scratchy record at the end. LOL

Is this a remaster or the same master as previous releases?

I believe it's the same master.

I absolutely love both movies. I have them on bluray, I really recommend them to people who are fans of Chinese fantasy movies and Stephen Chow movies. But if they’re the same master I may just leave it. But a great set nonetheless

Loved the old Monkey Magic tv series years ago and it basically introduced these types of movies to me. Have only seen the first movie Pandora’s Box so far and thought it was pretty decent movie. Both These movies are on Netflix at the moment.

 

I like the look of the special edition for these movies. 

 

Do do they have English subs?
