Kungfuology staffer Andy Best recently happened upon a boxed set of 90 Shaw movies in his local store. Follow this feature as Andy 'live-blogs' one a week. Spoiler alert!
And we're off. There's 90 movies in this set but glancing at the box I see some strange titles and repeats too. This blog will be as much about the China DVD experience as the movies themselves. As you might be able to catch in the photo, there's about 7 movies per disc. At one a week it's going to take me nearly two years (with holidays). Jia you!
So the first disc is in my machine, it's a typical Shanghai rainy Sunday and I'm ready to go. I must confess, my wife went into the set before to watch a favourite of hers One-armed Swordsman and it had a choice of original soundtracks and English titles too so I'm quite optimistic about the whole project ...
