A sequel to HOUSE OF 72 TENANTS sounds interesting. LOVE EXPERT... well, if nothing else it sounds profitable. I like DRUNKEN MONKEY, but this is a more coherent and forward-looking way to reboot a studio, particularly if your emphasis is to stimulate the local film industry. Martial arts (re)launch titles or not - any sort of growth in the Hong Kong film industry is good news in the long term. The MA films will come later - period films have expenses and headaches all their own, and it makes sense to me to start with films with modern settings. They're pacing themselves and that's smart.<br><br>It says it all to me that Shaws can just, on a whim, turn the OPEN FOR BUSINESS sign back on and start cranking out films with the sort of production values seen in the trailer for TURNING POINT, where the Golden Harvest that's limping back into business with a few low-budget films is more or less an in-name-only affair.

I AM at a loss at why the powers that be at TVB and Shaw Brothers don't get where their international (read big) money lies because, as a business, they need to make money and they failed to capitalize financially on their library of old films because they did not recognize who their true audience is for those films.
