Kung Fu HD coming... (In November 2004)

[DarrellP]

The Year of The Dragon was on HDNET Movies last night, so we should see it on Voom within 2 weeks, that seems to be the pattern lately.

I hope they show Five Deadly Venoms. I've never seen a good copy of it.

Well I hope it starts soon, I love Kung Fu movies

I though year of the dragon was a Mickey ROurke flick. Was it way of the dragon?

During the Cinema 106 channel intermisisons I frequently catch a segment about QT and Kill bill 1/2 in there they show what looks to me like a HD segment of the 36th chamber, maybe it's just a ED clip, hard to tell because it's old, but at least you know Voom has access to SOME kung fu somewhere.

Shaolin Soccer! Cooooool!!

I hope there are lots of older Shaw Bros. classics, and not so much Jean Clod Van Damned

You know what'd be cool? If they get the TV series Legend of the Condors. It's an adaptation of the wuxia novels. Very long, and PQ will be SD, but it's good, and will open up a whole new realm for western kung fu fans.

Is the Way of the Dragon listen on Nov. 3 this way of the Dragon?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068935/

Because the one up there is listed as "sports" genre as is Heroic Trio, Best of the Best, and Bloodsport which while Bloodsport is a contest, it's more of a action/kung-fu type of deal than sports.

This is good news man, I predict this channel to become really popular. I also hope Shaw brothers movies end up here, old Chan flicks, hopefully even Jet Li's Hong Kong pictures...

 

[Sean Mota]

Good question. Don't know and my guess we'll have to wait until then. I want all these movies OAR. It is the ONLY way to enjoy them fully.

 

[ravensong]

Samuri flicks too?

Anyone know if they will be showing Japanese type flix, like the classic Kurasawa stuff, Lone wolf and cub, Zatoichi, etc?

It looks it will start by the 3rd of Nov on 106 this is way cool.................
