So i was going thru my old vhs tapes and found a 1993 goodtime video....


of fists of fury...its listed @ 100 minutes and i saw a dvd online that is listed @ 97 minutes by the same company btw!!! why is this???

I have the "digitally remastered!" Goodtimes disc... reason for the 97 minute runtime is because Goodtimes decided to cut damaged frames rather than actually restore them. It gets pretty frustrating too. It's not as "subtle" as Celestial's frame cuts for their Shaw Brothers films, and gets pretty jarring.

i've had these in a neat looking vhs collection as well on swedish releases, i rented it now and the picture quality looks amazing, even though "game of death" is a cut and paste piece of leftover footage, that still seemed to be in higher quality and more entertaining than the big boss, i suppose because they got all these well known actors and moviemakers to work on finishing it, at one point the lip synching in this was so out of tune i thought it was another guy talking, and straight off i missed john barry's music score (featured in "game of death"), and it ran very slow in comparison, i suppose because of that necklace, right, i liked the score after the opening credits though, which has "guest star" in it, always weird to see that description put in a movie, the wasted and jugs scene was unexpected, and the call from the other room "...dad?", who was much too sleazy for me. best part was when he saw another girls face than the one there. that was some unexpected deep drama right there.

autumn leaves fall,
grey n cold,
heard scratch of map on travellin globe,
her outstanding tanned body glow,
suddenly in sunshine im sailin on magic forms,
as madeleine only gets hotter as time go on,
didnt notice how the weather changed,
since my mind live on her body everyday.
