Shaw Brothers Presents: Four Films by Lau Kar-Leung
Shaw Brothers Presents: Four Films by Chang Cheh
In my previous reviews of Shaw Brothers Blurays, I mentioned that the massive boxsets are too expensive. So, breaking up the boxsets to mini-collections, such as Four Films by Chang Cheh makes a whole lot of sense to me. And pricing is fair, at $50 (retail) vs the $200 asking price of the original boxset.
As a diehard Shaw Brothers fan, I would love to buy all of these, but since I already own the original two Arrow’s Shaw Scope Boxsets - there is really no good reasons for me to re-buy these films again.
If you didn’t buy the original boxsets, I think these three releases are a good value (especially the Chang Cheh set as it contains one of my favorites Crippled Avengers).
If you already own the boxsets and have the extra cash, I say go ahead and get them, as it’s currently being sold for $30 each.
The three Shaw Brothers collections come out December 12th, 2023.
Since we’re on topic, the Shaw Brothers Classics boxsets from Shout Factory will be getting all their films in four boxsets (each $170 retail) in 2023 (the last one drops December 19, 2023). I suspect that in 2024, Shout Factory may breakup some of these films in smaller collections. So if you can’t afford all four boxsets, you should wait it out. Me personally? I prefer to have all the films in the boxsets… but I would’ve liked them to space out the releases. Buying about 100 Shaw Brothers films in one year is a little too much for me… in terms of watching them all and spending too much money!
If money is a problem, some Shaw Brothers films are available for streaming for free on Amazon Prime … Current Prime prices are $139 a year. I have never considered paying for Prime, but since I’m on the family plan on my brother’s Prime account, I don’t think I can live without Prime now. Think about it, you get free two-day shipping (sometime same-day shipping) on all your orders… plus other perks like Prime Video. If my brother stops paying for Prime, I will have to pick up the tab, because I can’t live without it now.
