[gfanikf]

Any idea which compay owned the rights (ie logo before the film)?

[sevenhooks]

Wow. Cool news indeed.
Can you find out if they're showing Killer Clans (and anything else) in english as well??

:D

[theportlykicker]

Damn! I get UKTV Gold 1 but not 2! :(

[kermit]

Its uktv G2, portly

I'm gutted i missed seeing '36th Chamber' on the telly.
I will definitely be watching 'Killer Clans' next friday.

[theportlykicker]

I know what the channel's called. It's the fact that I don't get the channel that pisses me off!

[kermit]

Ignore me.
I was being thicker than a whale omelette.

Schnittberichte (http://www.schnittberichte.com/schnittbericht.php?ID=1355)

Interesting though;) .

I think I'm locked out of the 1st UKGold :( . I'll try my sisters place to see if she gets either channel.

[gfanikf]

Please can anyone tell me who the rights holder in the country was (well tv rights in this case)?

[sevenhooks]

... or if KIller Clans will be in english?

Thanks!

[sevenhooks]

Anyone know anything about this site?

www.uknova.com (http://www.uknova.com)


Might not hurt to register and put in a request for someone to record the show and upload it.

[eatingfish]

unfortunately uknova.com only allows uploads of uk tv that aren't available commercially

Edit- found out 36th chamber & killer clans arent on dvd in UK. But still no dice because also found out uknova only allows UK made content (not foreign content on UK tv). @#%$

[Monkey King 2000]

Hello, my first ever post, although I have been reading posts on this site for sometime, thanks for all the updates, reviews, CD Wow link, etc. Has anyone seen the week after they are showing 2 Champions of Shaolin. When I clicked into the programs from the below link, it says they both have subtitles. Although not sure if it said this for 36 Chambers.

[sevenhooks]

Welcome Monkey King.

I beleive the subtitle listing was there for 36 Chambers as well, which is why I'm not trusting it 100% until I hear from someone who's actually seen Killer Clans or one of these other movies to know for certain.

I also saw that they played "DISCIPLES of the 36th Chamber" a couple weeks back!
Now if THAT was in english and no one even so much as noticed, I'll be pissed!
I know our British brethren are out there...
What's good??

[kermit]

They're showing Killer Clans, Two Champions of Shaolin, Spiritual Boxer and Vengeance this month.

[sevenhooks]

Now maybe someone can confirm whether or not these will be dubbed?

[Monkey King 2000]

I have had two emails back from UKTV, the second one confirming all films will be dubbed, the first confirming what Kermit has already told us, but suggesting this is all they will be showing, as below:

In response to your query, as you know, we are currently playing a season of Shaw Brothers films on Friday nights at 9.00pm on our channel.

We recently played the 36th Chamber of Shaolin on Friday night just gone. This hasn't been rescheduled at present, but we will be showing it again at some point in 2007.

On Friday 8th March, we will be showing Killer Clans.

The following week, on the 16th March, we will be showing the Two Champions of Shaolin.

The 23rd March brings The Spiritual Boxer to our channel.

And it all ends on the 30th March, when we will be screening Vengeance.

Yes, all the Shaw Brothers films will be dubbed in English.

If you are like me, you will now have to check UKTV each week, until they replay 36 Chambers, I hope this will be soon!!

[killer meteor]

They may be new English dubs in some cases but who knows?

Now if UK Gold got these, why the hell didn't a UK DVD distributor make the effort?

[Ninja Sinai]

I discovered the screening of 36th Chamber purely by accident while I was looking for something to watch on Friday evening.. an was surprised and shocked to find that 36th Chamber was showing!

Luckily I have sky+ and recorded it!

Its the Celestial print with the classic English dub.. what shocked me the most was that the English dub sounded absolutely mint!!! Ive never heard a classic English dub sound so good!! The dub had obviously been remastered and was presented in all its mono glory! It was near perfect, no hiss at all!! Unlike the horrid UNREMASTERED loud snake hissing dub on the Images Legendary Weapons release! Thaw was just taking the piss man..! I hope future Image releases have clean remastered classic English dubs!

Hopefully ill be recording all the Shaw Bros season. If anyone wants me to rip them onto DVD just drop me an email and im sure we can work out a trade.

[Linn1]

Now if UK Gold got these, why the hell didn't a UK DVD distributor make the effort?

cause they're stupid. All the "dub heads" are drooling right now I know. :) As for why Image doesn't have them. My guess is that these were recently remastered. I know they weren't given an option on cleaned up tracks.

[gfanikf]

I thing seven is going to start jumping up and down now. Granted so am I!

[gfanikf]

Thanks for all the info guys.

If I left anyone out please email me ASAP.

[kermit]

I've heard a rumour that Momentum Asia might have another go at releasing their Shaw Brothers catalogue.

Maybe people should email them and tell them how much they want these dubs and how theyre obviously available.

Make them realise that they can make some money if they get the English dubs on their DVDs.

[Ninja Sinai]

If Momentum Asia do ever decide to have a go at releasing Shaw Bros movies again.. I really hope they have better designed sleeves man!

The ones they used for their Shaw titles were just UGLY and horrid!!

Some of the worst sleeves I’ve ever seen in fact..

[killer meteor]

Let's hope so. Anamorphic transfers and optional English dubs at a reasonble price would be great - plus we'd gain from genuine PAL picture, rather than the PAL-NTSC conversions. Hooray!

[Markgway]

I really hope Momentum reissue anamorphic versions of the first batch they put out (ie. Spiritual Boxer and Heroes Two). I would buy them if they get it right (ie. original mono).

[killer meteor]

Yeah, a boxset of the first two batches, corrected of course, and everything else after that would be fine.

[Markgway]

Killer Clans on UKTV dubbed and letterboxed btw.

[killer meteor]

Old school dub?

I asked my mum who has sky to tape this becuase I'm trapped at uni but usually she forgets. Typical - I say I have no use for Sky and then an entire season of Shaws comes on!

[sevenhooks]

Killer Clans on UKTV dubbed and letterboxed btw.


Jesus. The possiblilties are starting to freak me out.

Not to give anyone any ideas (not like they need em), but I would hope some smart labels get on the ball and start releasing some of these titles w/the dubs before the bootleggers get to em.
Hate to say it, but how long do you think it will be before an english dubbed Spiritual Boxer shows up on eBay?
Momentum (and Siren?) had the chance.

[chen lung]

Killer Clans on UKTV dubbed and letterboxed btw.
For the first few batches, did Celestial avoid anamorphic?

[killer meteor]

Yes they did, but genuine anamorphic versions of some of the earlier films were made for the French DVDs. Sadly, the Aussies made do with the old non-anamorphic masters and Momentum didn't even get Spiritual Boxer anamorphic, when the master used for HK is

[chen lung]

when the master used for HK is
Sure that wasn't the usual PAL>NTSC conversion?

[killer meteor]

The masters are anamorphic before coversion - that's why Siren got some films anamorphic. The first few anamorphic batches from IVL were non-anamorphic masters crudly blown up

[tigerstyles]

killer clans old school dub.. yep! ripped and ready to trade

[kermit]

I know for a fact a (legitimate) company will start releasing Shaw Brothers films with English dubs soon.

[killer meteor]

In the UK?

[gfanikf]

tigerstyles can you post a small youtube clip of the film and dubbing (like 2 or 3 minutes).

[Ninja Sinai]

Well what can I say..

The Celestial version of Killer Clans with the classic English dubbed voices that we all love.. presented in lovely remastered mono glory.

You know people.. so many DVD companies have had a chance in releasing the Shaw Classics on DVD and have always let down the fans in one way or another.. the irony is that it took a tv channel that doesn’t even specialise in the kung fu genre to show the movies that we love, in the way that we love them.

I say Momentum Asia and Image need a good slap or Thunderkick strike to their heads!!

[Linn1]

Celestial has told them for years they don't have but a handful of the dubs, I don't think you can fault the companies too much. They can only deal with what they're told. But I think that companies in the future will be less likely to simply take them at face value. At least I hope so.

Edit-Also, I wouldn't doubt these may be newly found. They don't know what they hell the have in all honesty.

[killer meteor]

If a dub exists say, on a version taped off the telly in the early 80's, would Celestial permit its use on a legit DVD?

If Celestial didn't have it, and the company made a deal for the English dubs as well, then yes.

[tigerstyles]

g just for you (http://youtube.com/watch?v=ui5jQgpd5-E)

[gfanikf]

Tigerstlyes thanks so much. I'll make sure to give you a special thanks on the site as I'm sure a lot of people will LOVE to hear this.

thanks

EDIT audio also sounds one clean and nice.

[kingofkungfu2002]

Just a reminder that Two Champions Of Shaolin is on tonight.

[tigerstyles]

dub clip from last nights Spiritual boxer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFX7KHKdFf4)

[sevenhooks]

Thanks for that!
Good stuff!

[Markgway]

Next Friday: Vengeance.

[gfanikf]

Any idea whats coming up next? Please let it be Mercanaries from Hong Kong!!! :) Oh how was the quality on Vengence?

So with both Killer Clans and SB existing as dubs. Does anyone want to have a little fun guessing what else was dubbed?

I'll wager Brace Archer 4.

Come on have some fun!

[bobo]

i for one hope that at least one of the legit producers jumps on these new found dub versions and makes them available to the public. if not you know as well as i do what company WILL get them out there.

[tigerstyles]

i think its ended now.. Mark?

[Markgway]

Seems to be finished.

I guess they were testing the waters with a short season.

It's not a film channel so I don't suppose you can expect too much.

If the ratings were good there could be more.

I suggest you write to them and ask...

[kermit]

Disciples of the 36th Chamber is being shown Friday 10 o'clock. (11 o'clock on UKTV G2+1)

[chen lung]

Another 'lost' English dub:D !... well hopefully ;) .

[sevenhooks]

Hopefully some of you UK folks will be recording this just in case.

[Monkey King 2000]

Thanks very much Kermit for letting us all know, I emailed UKTV after the last series to see if they were going to be screening anymore Shaw films and they never replied. I had just stopped checking their channel! Unfortunately the week after there is not another Shaw, but Twin Warriors (not a fan of these Jet Li films). Whenever they view any other Kung Fu films (like Twin Warriors) they always have the english dub. I will be very surprised if there is not an English dub tonight.

[tigerstyles]

i will be burning this direct to dvd if anyone wants it

[gfanikf]

So it was an English dub? Just wanted to double check.

[magicpoe]

tigerstyles,

I'd like a copy. I'll PM you my trade list.

Thank you.

[ironfistedmonk2003]

My cable guide says its on at 22:20, just in case people are setting their recorders you may want to double check the time.

[tigerstyles]

original english dub in all its heavenly glory 2:35 mint

[tigerstyles]

shitebags the disc is ****kked, won't rip invalid disc structure

will have to wait till they repeat the buggar

[sevenhooks]

Clip anyone?

[sevenhooks]

So was anybody able to record this properly??

[sevenhooks]

anyone?

[gfanikf]

I know Ninja Sinai recorded some of the others so you may want to ask him.

[sevenhooks]

That's right.
Thanks for the tip!

7H

[Ninja Sinai]

I recorded Disciples directly onto my sky+ (like TiVo) hard drive.

If anyone wants it on dvd.. We can trade and I can burn it for them using two options..

1. I can burn it in full high res on a dual layer disk, or

2. I can burn it on a single layer disk in normal standard quality.

My email.. ninja.sinai@gmail.com

[Markgway]

This Friday: TWIN WARRIORS (dubbed version of Tai Chi Master)

Following Friday: KILLER CLANS (repeat)

[Fatty Dragon]

This is really great. Was anyone able to record these?

[Markgway]

Next Friday it's another Dimension Jet Li film: The Enforcer.... or is it The Defender? Either way: who cares??

[chen lung]

'The Defender', and you're right: Who cares?

[Fatty Dragon]

So uhhh, was anyone able to record these to dvd?

[chen lung]

Vengeance!

'Killer Clans' last week was too boring for me. Couldn't really hear the dub.

[Mantis FIST]

So who got em?

[Fatty Dragon]

does anyone have any updates as to what othre shaw films they might show.

Question:

When they used to show these back on bbtv in the 80's, didn't the last season end without all the movies being shown. Were the 3 in this thread three of the films that were not shown? I wonder in they (uk gold) might have opium and the kf master dubbed? I think it was one of the ones not shown on bbtv, but none the less it was dubbed in english?

Just a thought...

[Markgway]

This Friday: VENGEANCE (1970)

Next Friday: THE LEGEND (Fong Sai Yuk) (1993)

[Fatty Dragon]

thanks markgway.
