Shaw Brothers on the Mainland?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Just curious if anyone has seen any of the Celestial re-releases of the Shaw Brothers corpus on the Mainland? There are certainly none available where I live; a bit odd considering the lengths DVD producers in China have gone to mine the depths of back catalogues worldwide.

when they first started releasing them they were everywhere. after about 6 or 7 months they stopped appearing (i.e. the bootleggers didnt copy them anymore).

i dont know why, but that was my experience.

Even in Hong Kong which they are widely available, I couldn't find the full selection in any video store.

There are supposedly hundreds of Shaw's old fims which have been digitized into DVD/VCD, but most video stores just display two or three dozens popular titles.
