[quote="lhb412"]^ I hope HK fantasy, action, and martial arts flicks become the new go-to thing for the boutique home video distributors to license.
Of course, it seems like just now they've come around to doing that with tokusatsu, and for that I'm very grateful. It feels like those same distributors will never run out of cheap, obscure old horror films that the gorehounds just lap up. There must be a million of those movies![/quote]
Man, I was projecting into the future here! I've spent the last year really getting into Hong Kong martial arts movies via the plethora of release as we've gotten from Arrow Video, Criterion, 88 Films (like Arrow, a UK distributor now putting out stuff in the US), Warner Archive put out some Jackie Chan and supposedly will be dipping more into their Golden Harvest catalog), and I just ordered the first of what will supposedly be more of HK titles from Vinegar Syndrome.
Between this and various tokusatsu releases, there is simply too much to buy.
Oh, and rumor has it that Shout has acquired King Kong Lives (and maybe Kong '76 4K coming?)
