Ah man... this company brings back memories. Used to rent stuff, put out by Rainbow, from Asian Video Stores back in the 80s. Sometimes stuff didn't even have subs!

I might be wrong, but didn't this company become Tai Seng?

Tai Seng just threw stickers on a bunch of their releases and called them their own. Not only Rainbow but all those old Chinatown labels! Pan-Asia, World Video & Supply, etc etc.

Anyway, all of those labels released OODLES of stuff.

The Rainbow tapes I have are :

HOGUS POGUS
WHERE'S OFFICER TUBA
DEAD AND THE DEADLY, THE
MAGNIFICENT BUTCHER, THE
ISLAND, THE
HAUNTED MADAM, THE
FUNNY GHOST
MIDDLE MAN
18 BRONZEMEN
PRODIGAL SON, THE
ASSOCIATION, THE

I am working on my VHS tape list !

I'm sure I read somewhere that Rainbow also released Yuen Biao's The Champions.

I had their complete 1988 catalog at one time. Wish I'd held onto it. They released every major Hong Kong studio release of the 70s and 80s, except for Shaw Bros., where they only released a batch of 1960s films like ONE ARMED SWORDSMAN and MONKEY GOES WEST. Subtitles were never consistent, and most tapes were dead center/cropped transfers, often using worn Chinatown prints.

BEWARE OF PICKPOCKETS
THE OCCUPANT
PEKING OPERA BLUES

(we have a ton of Asian cinema at my job)
