Yeah, this is the set that I've got to have. Wish Man of Iron and Belles of Death were on this set too instead of spread out among the other sets but what can you do...
We could start our own Blu-ray label and start putting out the stuff we want. You have no idea how many times a week I consider trying to con someone into giving me a bunch of money so I can start a film distribution company. 😂
Ooh, I so badly want Holy Flame on blu-ray. Not sure whether to wait for an individual release or spring for this box and take my chances on a bunch of films I've never seen. Might be fun. I only know Five Element Ninjas and Holy Flame.
Shout Factory finishing up strong with the Vol 4 set - interesting that the two discs were flipped in the case haha someone stuffing those must have had a late night
The quality of transfers is variable, Holy flame of the martial world looks just incredible, jaw droppingly good. The big pull for me was the Tang Chia films, all of them are superb. And you were right about Black lizard, it was the only film I hadn't seen and it's brilliant! Amazon UK are selling them.
I have heard the quality of these films is inconsistent, but I'm honestly just excited to own them and get to watch them again. Black Lizard is one of my favorites, I'm glad you enjoyed that film. It's so good. I'm very excited to check out Holy Flame
@@hkcinemasociety man I can't believe that you haven't seen that film, It's the most mental Shaw film! I've been quite vocal about how lazy some of the transfers are, Rebel intruders has really over saturated colours (sorry I am not very technically articulate) I have a Koch media bluray and it looks way better. But overall it's my favourite Shout collection, but I tend to prefer late Shaw films, oh and Shaolin intruders is so freaking amazing, but watch Holy flame first man!
They have been chronological so far, Vol 1 was 60's, 2 and 3 were 70's, this one is 80's and Shaws pretty much stopped making movies then. So this is likely the last one.
@@daikaijureview6001 my wonder is whether they will do any sets of non martial arts films, since Shaw made so many other types of movies. I would guess they're probably done with the martial arts films.
@@daikaijureview6001 according to the rumor mill, Arrow will do a non martial arts collection heavy on horror films, but who knows whether that's true. I would love to see it. Black Magic is one of my favorite Shaw films
Vol. 4 is my favorite out of all of the Shout releases!!!! Masked Avengers, 5 Element Ninjas, Shaolin Prince and Shaolin Intruders are 5 Star Must have IMHO!!!! I do have Vol. 1 as well. Great Stuff Here👊🐲🥋🔥🐉👍💯🔥‼️‼️‼️
Facts, all of these movies that I have seen are fire and I can't wait to see the ones I haven't seen. I would love to pick up the other three sets, and I really wanna get the Ti Lung and David Chiang one, but I gotta be careful with my finances these days, too many releases!
Is there any duplication of the films in the first four volumes of these Shaw Brothers boxsets and the films that are included in the massive ShawScope boxsets?
I'm honestly not 100% sure but I don't think so, because arrow and shout are both releasing these films in Region A and I doubt they would both be able to get a license for the same film for the same region.
i think if I can only buy ONE SB collection box...THIS would be IT. Rebel Intruders CHECK Opium & Kung fu Master CHECK 2 Champions of Shaolin CHECK Shaolin Prince CHECK 5 Element Ninjas CHECK Masked Avengers CHECK the rest...not too familiar with Black Lizard and Holy Flame...so, those two i'd swap with Magnificent Ruffians and 5 Shaolin Masters.
5 Shaolin Masters was the first Shaw movie I ever say, and I would definitely take Black Lizard and Holy Flame over it, but they're VERY different movies, so I totally get prefering 5SM.
Some gems , but some duds as well !!! Wish they had a Cantonese option, instead of Mandarin only. There probably won't be a Vol. 5 unless they go back to earlier movies as Shaw Brothers was transitioning to just TV shows in the early 80's.🐒
From what I have heard, they will be at least one more Arrow Shaw set and maybe two more (or even more more?), but I don't know any details or projected release dates or anything like that. I think one of them is supposed to be more focused on horror than martial arts
Are the subs and language tracks locked or can you change the language while the movie is playing? They are locked on the Jackie Chan set and its really annoying.
I don't think so, but I'm not totally sure. I think they were given access to whatever HD material celestial pictures has and they used that as the source for these discs. I have heard that some of them look absolutely incredible and some of them just look OK. I haven't had a chance to watch any myself yet.
Who else is super excited for the UA-cam debut of my duck sweater?
Wow such a naughty awesome sweater!!!

I was wondering about that and maybe whether someone was on edibles in the factory 😂
I hope shout keeps releasing shaws . Shout is is doing a great job
My vol 4 the disc was switched too
Holy Flame was Shaw Brothers answer to Zu Warrior From the Magic Mountain !!!
I would love to hear your review of Holy Flame of the Martial World. I think you’ll love it. I’ve gotta get this set!

Looks like a great set! I hope that i cen get all of them at some point. I like this unboxing set up for the video.
I really enjoy filming in the studio for unboxings, that overhead camera is so clutch. Hopefully I can do more stuff like this in the studio.
I haven’t begun purchasing these Shaw Volumes. I wonder how far they will go with them.
I'm curious about that, too. I heard rumors they're basically done now, but I've heard others say they have more coming. I guess we'll see!

No duplicates from shawscope shout and Arrow both got specific licenses to different films
I haven't seen any of these films and I'm living in the UK so waaaaaaaaaah!!😢
Apparently, Amazon UK is selling this set. But I would imagine it's pretty expensive to import. But maybe not? I haven't looked.
@@hkcinemasociety £122 = $155.50 🤯🥴 I'll wait for a price drop then. Thanks anyway, your coverage of Hong Kong films is magnificent! 👍
i think if I can only buy ONE SB collection box...THIS would be IT.
Rebel Intruders CHECK
Opium & Kung fu Master CHECK
2 Champions of Shaolin CHECK
Shaolin Prince CHECK
5 Element Ninjas CHECK
Masked Avengers CHECK
the rest...not too familiar with Black Lizard and Holy Flame...so, those two i'd swap with Magnificent Ruffians and 5 Shaolin Masters.

I've only watched one disc so far but the audio and subs were locked on that and yes it was annoying
Are these all new transfers?
