Pickup Men from the Monastery. No doubt about it. A classic indeed. Fu Sheng, Chen Kwan Tai, and Chi Kuan Chun are in this one.
The talk is Image will release it with the English dub but I wouldn't take a chance on not getting this version just in case Image doesn't release it.
I'll get it from CDWOW though.

Someone tell me good things about What Price Honesty... Unknown to me, but I'm liking the looks of that cast list and vintage.

So glad only one dvd to buy this month so far. febuary had me swamped and there was around 10 i had to buy.
Men From The Monastery is a great movie, way better than the recent released Disciples of Shaolin imo. What Price Honesty looks like it might be good but looks can be decieving.

peringaten - I think it was falkor who plugged this film a while back and posted this image (so cred to him for this). Anything with Sun Chien, Lily Li and Lo Lieh has got to be worthwhile :)
magicpoe - Right on about MFTM. Definite Shaolin series flick! (btw, you get my email?)

Ooh, lovely - that's a claim, way better than Disciples... To be honest I've been feeling DoS as one of the finest of the Cycle series... I dug the story, the music usage, the interesting use of black and white, and Fu Sheng's scenery chewing performance immensely! If MftM comes even close I know I'm gonna enjoy it!
Cheers Teako - I'm definitely pre-ordering What Price... an unknown director, plus top notch cast, late era Shaws with a nice looking poster! Man, I hope it's a gem... either way my curiousity is driving me to find out... that's half the fun sometimes!

Who's that pictured on the poster to the right of Pai Piao? Don't imagine it is, but it looks a bit like Roc Tien to me...
[EDIT - hold on... Danny Lee!?]
Danny Li Sau Yin ( Danny Lee I presume) is listed as starring in it.

Despite remastering Men From The Monastery in HD, I can't believe Celestial has simply used the pic of Fu Sheng from Heroes Shed No Tears on the cover of this new DVD.

Ivy, you noticed that, too? also, the pic is/was the reversed one facing left... still, what a bunch of lazy Mo-fo's...
otherwise, yeah, can't wait for Men From The Monastery to be released very soon...

The artist's rendering seems to be taken from the earlier CTK release. Fu Sheng's picture is flopped.

Linn, please correct me if my memory of What Price Honesty is wrong b/c I saw this movie back in the day in the theaters. From what I can remember, there is very little fighting and its message is "honest guys finish last." I remember not liking this movie because of the scarcity of fighting in it.
