Anyone remember those old Ocean Shores vhs videos???

[SuperChargerBoy~]

Hey all. Let me say as my 1st post here i am stoked about this forum. I have been a fan of kung fu films since i can remember being old enough to watch TV and have enjoyed them my whole life. It's great to see so many fans here.

Do any of u guys know what happened to Ocean Shores video?? I remember renting a lot of kung fu flicks from that company. They had all of the greats. I also have relatives in Hawaii and whenever i'd go out to visit them the movie selection of classic Ocean Shores kung fu flicks was insane. I remember stocking up on Kung Fu flicks when going to visit family out there. Unfortunately my mother accidentally threw out my tapes when her and my father moved so currently i'm rebuilding my collection with DVD's.

But i would love to get my hands on some old Ocean Shores vhs tapes just for sentimental value. I have searched Ebay and cannot find anything. Does anyone know what happened to Ocean Shores videos??? And where if anyplace u can still find them???

There's a few people on here (or at least at the old KFF) that had a sizable amount of these OS tapes. Several of us who met w/ Rick Meyers at the Lo Mang Expo heard him talk of his days working at OS. I believe their catalog of films is now with Tai Seng(?).

Here's a site that sells their old tapes. Never used them before so can't comment on their service:

Speaking of Tai Seng, anyone ever order this catalog?

[mantis FIST]

Lots of good titles there!

[Shaolindogma]

They are certainly collectors items now. 20 bucks for a vhs tape! I love my OC tapes though, and yes i would probably pay 20 bucks for each tape.
I didn't know Zatoichi was an OC title? Do you know which episodes?

[Linn1]

I didn't know Zatoichi was an OC title? Do you know which episodes?

It's not, it's a retitle.

[5 Element Boxer]

I still have my Ninja Hunter VHS tape. I freaking love that movie. Jack Long was a great baddie!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Ninja Checkmate (aka Mystery of Chess Boxing) released by Ocean Shores as well?

[Brigadier Chow]

Ninja Checkmate was released by them, then Tai Seng bought the rights to release the DVD.

[The Dragon]

One By One is a favorite of mine with Kam Kang and Kurata. It's seemingly based on the the old Tony Curtis Sidney Poitier film, the Valiant ones, a prison escape caper. Btw, anyone know if OBO goes by another title, and if it's available on DVD?

[moviegyrl]

Yes! I recall a 1980s TV series that featured movies distributed by that company. The "Ocean Shores" stamp and copyright date always appeared at the start of the films they ran.:D

Funny you should mention this because I know of a videostore that has been trying to unload all of their VHS tapes, including Ocean Shores, for years (since they switched exclusively to DVD). :D:D Haven't been there to visit in quite a few months. (I've seen just about everything they have in stock, and they aren't good about ordering new stuff.) The place is: King Video in Detroit, Michigan, USA, phone: 313-834-1849.

It came out in france on dvd in glorious WIDESCREEN!

Oh man don't tell me that!!! I've got to find that film!!! Any traders?

[kungfood]

Yeah, I remember those. In fact, the first videotape I ever bought was Death Duel of Kung Fu in 1983, one of the first releases by Ocean Shores. I only bought one other, Hit Man in the Hand of Buddha, the same year, because back then the price was too high ($39.99 apiece). Still have them, but also got the Tai Seng DVD versions a few years ago. As mentioned, Tai Seng released a ton of OS's movies in their Kung Fu Theater or whatever collection. Crash Cinema released The Master Strikes which was originally released by OS.

[mantis FIST]

"Btw, anyone know if OBO goes by another title, and if it's available on DVD?"

It's also known as Kung Fu Powerhouse. I don't think it's on DVD though.

[Nakadai]

Anyone know of a place I could acquire Victims of the Assassin?

[SamuraiDana]

Hey all. Let me say as my 1st post here i am stoked about this forum. I have been a fan of kung fu films since i can remember being old enough to watch TV and have enjoyed them my whole life. It's great to see so many fans here.

But i would love to get my hands on some old Ocean Shores vhs tapes just for sentimental value. I have searched Ebay and cannot find anything. Does anyone know what happened to Ocean Shores videos??? And where if anyplace u can still find them???


Tai Seng released quite a few of the Ocean Shores films on VHS and DVD under their "Martial Arts Theater" line. Those are still available on DVD on-line and in Chinatown shops. I saw a bunch this past Monday in a shop in NYC's Chinatown. I even bought one I'd never seen before: Alexander Lou in NINJA IN THE U.S.A. They're the exact same editions that Ocean Shores sold. I've been told elsewhere on the web that Tai Seng never actually secured the rights to release these. Does anyone here know the story behind this?

I have quite a few original Ocean Shores VHS editions and even more of the Tai Seng VHS and DVD releases. Counting off from the list provided above by TheManInWhite, I count 47 total in my collection. One of the first I remember getting was SHANGHAI 13. The last, as stated, was NINJA IN THE U.S.A.

I would recommend to SuperChargerBoy that you simply look over the list provided by TheManInWhite and pick the titles you want and order them on-line.

[GwaiLoMoFo]

I had a sizable Ocean Shores collection about 8 years ago. But I have sold/traded all of them over the last few years. I had the good fortune of catching alot of old video stores going outta buisness and bought a ton of them for dirt cheap. Most them in immaculate contdition.

[beardyj]

I have a nice little collection of vhs ocean shores tapes and dvd-rs recorded directly from the ocean shores original tapes.

these are on dvd-r

WOULD LOVE TO GET A FEW OF THESE DVDRS FROM YOU ANY CHANCE... ;)

falkor my bad though kaleyboy posted the pics.. sooooooo do u have these on DVD or hust posting the pics ...;)

[kungfusamurai]

Thanks for all those scans, falkor! So many titles I have never seen listed anywhere before.

KFS

[Atherton]

Once again quite impressive Falkor. Thanks for the valuable pics!

[falkor]

Not as valuable as the films themselves, so I encourage fans to start collecting today!!! You can see how many movies were put out during the VHS days--most remain officially unreleased on DVD and out of print.

[Atherton]

I hear ya. I've been lucky enough to run into a few lots of Ocean Shores for sale over the years. Although I've managed to collect "hundreds" it looks like I have "hundreds" more to find.

Although a majority of the films look to be from Hong Kong, Taiwan or Mainland China. That "Man From Hell" looks like it from Thailand. A few are from the Philippines like "Bruce and The Shaolin Bronzemen" and Killer vs Ninjas.

Oh and of course don't forget the Chinese language versions on tape as well as the laserdisc and vcd releases.

[beardyj]

Can anyone get their hands on Transfers VHS to DVD of the old unreleased ocean shores .. i for one would be interested.

[karatemoviecom]

you can find amost ALL ocean shores titles unreleased by tai seng over at www.karatemovie.com for $9.95 each w/boxart!

[odioustrident]

Older stores all over the NY area carry VHS bootlegs of these films. I have a ton of these copies and maybe 1 or 2 legitimate Ocean Shores releases. Two Crippled Heroes didn't play at all and Warriors of the Sung Dynasty had no sound. I'm disappointed to have stepped into the scene so late.

[teako170]

Older stores all over the NY area carry VHS bootlegs of these films. .

Yes indeed. We saw a bunch in Philly Chinatown a few summers back.

Once again quite impressive Falkor. Thanks for the valuable pics!

I concur. Nice pix G.

[thedirtytiger]

I have most of those, 15 I need but I have the rest. Good stuff.

[zeus]

it will be harder finding a vhs player than the vhs heheh
i got around 20 of them when i bought the at a video store the guy told me everything is going on dvd so why buy vhs...only if he knew that a big percentage will never get a dvd release..there is simply no demand for these type of movies except for fans and collectors like us
zeus

[thedirtytiger]

I agree completely, I still have 2 video players and I even have a laser disc player, just last month I found a rare laser of Monkey Goes West ;)

[beardyj]

Just wish i could TRADE with someone who has them transfered to DVD Hint Hint)

[gorhama]

Seeing this thread makes me glad I kept my VHS player. It's down in the basement with my old tube TV since VSH looks like complete crap on my HDTV.

Looks like I have some collecting to do!!!

Seeing all those pics I'm amazed how many titles were released by Ocean Shores on video! Toby sold me some original videos afew years ago and I bought some of the vcds from Chinatown when they sold them.

I personally love Shanghai 13 that' an all star cast for real.

Bruce and Shaolin Bronzemen is a very wacky film. A lot of the bit players show up as goons in Filipino films as well as the later Corman/Santiago Vietnam war flicks.

I think it's my favorite Bruce Le title, after CHALLENGE OF THE TIGER/GYMKATA KILLER and CLONES OF BRUCE LEE.

I agree completely, I still have 2 video players and I even have a laser disc player, just last month I found a rare laser of Monkey Goes West ;)

Hello Thedirtytiger,

I wonder the "Money Goes West" is AKA "Monkey War"? If it is so, could you transfer into DVD-R and I would like to trade it with you?

Did you see my last post on "Ra-chiniee-fin"?

No, different film. Monkey Goes West is the last film directed by Chang Cheh. I don't have any way to transfer to DVD-R. You should speak to Vengeance Video, Toby was going to release it until DVD's became unprofitable due to bootlegs.....

So Am I! I thought I had most of their catalog, but after seeing the list posted earlier I only have about half of their output... I'd love to get them all...

This might be the oldest title I have:

Very cool!

That must have been in the 1980's - the early days of HK video tape!!!!!

I wanted to see some good ole Yuen Wo Ping movies and I popped in Fire Dragon.
Immediately I saw the Ocean Shores seahorse and it wasn't taken from VHS. In my early days of seeking out all the best kung fu movies that logo was there a lot. I still have a bunch of movies that were from VHS transfers.

It's like watching Jidai Geki movies and not seeing some Hawaiian TV station info in the film. It is just one of those things that I expect.
