I grew up with a UHF station showing a mix of Shaw Brothers and Gamera movies on Saturday afternoon in my town (Miami TV39  ) and so I've always loved chop-sockey action.Recently, I got a chance to show Master of the Flying Guillotine to some friends, who all loved it, but I was taken aback by how bad it looked on DVD. Growing up, it was just accepted that OTA broadcast looked bad (especially on our ancient 80s TVs), but no I guess the movies were just filmed on that grainy a stock, with very little attention paid to focusing on a particular depth of field. Has there ever been any attempt to salvage these films, or are the only copies fifth-generation garbage prints? I'm really glad Stephen Chow and Donnie Yen are still making movies because Iron Monkey and Kung-Fu Hustle are much better shot and presented compared to the old Shaw films.

SALT CURES HAM posted:I love how you basically can't talk about these movies without Wu-Tang coming up at some point. would this then be the appropriate thread to bemoan how bad Man with the Iron Fists turned out then?
