Send us a text

Warner Bros executive George Feltenstein and Hong Kong Cinema expert and Warner Bros archivist Jeff Briggs join the podcast to discuss Hong Kong Cinema and the Golden Harvest library of films owned by Warner Bros.  

Jeff Briggs provides a brief history of Hong Kong Cinema, starting with the Shaw Brothers and then the development of Golden Harvest in the 1970s and 1980s.  George Feltenstein provides background on the partnership between Golden Harvest and Warner Bros with Bruce Lee’s “Enter the Dragon” in 1973 and how that later led to the purchase of a portion of the Golden Harvest Library.  He also discusses the release of some of the Golden Harvest films on DVD and on the now-defunct Warner Archive streaming service, FilmStruck, before diving into a review of the two films that have been released on Blu-ray, the Jackie Chan films “Mr. Nice Guy” and “Drunken Master II.”  George details the restoration that went into these films and Jeff corrects the misperceptions that have surrounded the “Drunken Master II” subtitles and language selections.  And finally, George briefly discusses some of the future release plans for the Golden Harvest titles through the Warner Archive.
