Haha yeah I hated those films, wish I never bought the box set.

I was sucked in back in the day, I expected masterpieces, what I got was TV show CGI and badly done power rangers story acting

watched each film once, never bothered again and they still sit on my shelf to this day

what next? Avenging Fist in HD

I may have to re-visit them now, as it seems like eons since I watched the trilogy

Don't do it, man!

Why not sell them then Romero? I've only seen AMCH, very average!

Sell them for £1 each, dvds just odnt make me cash anymore, have hundreds to sell and postage is now 76p second class! unless someone bulk buys them, its hard to shift many I now find, well standard dvds anyway

A Man Called Hero was the best by a mile as well

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 19 May 2009, 19:33

A hundred at £1 each is still one hundred quid! Not to be sniffed at. One hundred quid you wouldn't have otherwise. That's how I look at it.

i've sold 70 dvds on playtrade in just over 2 months,just factor in their fees and your postage costs when listing and you get well more than a quid a disc on there

The Myth

Don't know how I missed this on the radar. Probably won't get it as am happy with the Avante Garde Edition.

A warning for those thinking about buying the HMV exclusive Machine Girl Blu-ray Disc release:

Thank you, I was going to buy it but then thought it best to wait for reviews, looks like I was right to wait then!

You can count the pixels!

Are them caps for real

jesus it looks like they upconverted a 125 line non anamorphic dvd to HD, badly

its like mini legoland.

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 27 May 2009, 21:23

It's not much of a film anyway,i sold the dvd on a while back.that's no excuse for a shoddy blu-ray release though.

gasteropod · Post by **gasteropod** » 27 May 2009, 21:26

The PQ for Chocolate BD isn't very good either, but certainly not as bad as that.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 27 May 2009, 21:57

Chocoltae at least looks HD

and blows away the dvd easy.

gasteropod · Post by **gasteropod** » 27 May 2009, 22:09

But have you not noticed the horrible digital noise in some of the backgrounds? It's the worst I've seen, but I can't tell whether it's the transfer's fault or part of the film itself (with it being a digital Thai production).

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 27 May 2009, 22:27

Even I can see how shite that BD looks. I wouldn't blame the Thai production per say, even they usually get "that" right.

gasteropod · Post by **gasteropod** » 27 May 2009, 22:30

I was referring to Chocolate though Brad, aren't you on about the Machine Girl caps?

Shingster · Post by **Shingster** » 27 May 2009, 23:28

Was anyone expecting an even remotely decent HD transfer from the Machine Girl? The film clearly looks like it was shot in standard-def and badly at that!

Shaolin Soccer - September 21, 2009

The listing at play.com doesn't mention a distributor, but I think Optimum got the rights for the DVD in UK
