Interesting excerpt, Pete!  Where did you find it?
I’ve always wanted to watch all the old school Shaw Bros. classics, but most either were unavailable or were only offered in poor quality yet overpriced pan-and-scan versions and Chinatown bootlegs.  It looked like most of these films would remain in obscurity forever or disappear never to be seen again.
The Shaw Bros. library is a huge resource of Hong Kong film from the last 3-4 decades.
Quentin made a special trip to the Shaw studios just because he’s such a fanatic about the library.  Tarantino said:  "There is no white man on earth who knows these films better than me!"
But recently Celestial Pictures bought the entire Shaw Bros. library and plans on releasing many titles in cleaned-up letterbox format versions on DVD and VCD.  And even has talked about releasing certain titles on 35 mm prints to select theaters.
So it looks like modern fans of old-school, kung fu or martial arts films will finally get a chance to see these movies for the first time, possibly up on the silver screen!
