I know it was talked about some in another thread (quite possibly by you), but what about the current state and future of Chinese films, particularly kung fu movies? I would love a decent copy of The Master of the Flying Guilottine, 36 chambers of Shaolin and epecially, The Miracle Fighters

I can tell you right off the top of my head that all the Shaw Bros. stuff (so, 36 Chambers at least) is pretty decently preserved. At least, all the copies I've seen floating around of Shaw Bros. films look fine.

Master of the Flying Guillotine, though, is gonna need some serious work. The best copy I've been able to find is spliced between like 2 or 3 different film sources and they all look like rear end.

I'm not one hundred percent on the prints being well-preserved, it's not as if they do repertory screenings of kung-fu movies often, but from the DVDs it looks like Celestial Pictures has been taking decent care of them.

Yeah, PS3s are region free for games but as far as I know you have to hack them for all-region blu-ray playback.
