Re: A Question for Rush involving BLACK MAGIC aka MEETING AT MIDNIGHT?
I don't want to put words in Ken Hanke's mouth but I believe he was trying to say that this film was perhaps among the most well known (due to frequent exposure) as opposed to most popular.
Even that comment must be qualified in the context of the times. Since Ken Hanke's book came out, the Chan films have been aired on AMC, FMC and half the Fox films are now on DVD. I doubt anyone in 2007 would say that Black Magic/Meeting at Midnight is the best known Chan film anymore.
Re: Re: A Question for Rush involving BLACK MAGIC aka MEETING AT MIDNIGHT?
You are probably right Steve O. Wrong choice of words. I was guessing that BLACK MAGIC (MEETING AT MIDNIGHT) is in the Public Domain? Is that the reason for the "frequent exposure" of this film? That's what I assume was what Ken Hanke mean't in his statement?
Steve, What about MR. MOTO'S LAST WARNING? I have noticed that it is available on DVD from ALPHA VIDEO, GOODTIMES DVD, FRONTROW ENTERTAINMENT, SYNERGY ENTERTAINMENT, FAMILY VALUE, GENIUS ENTERTAINMENT and for a $1.00 from DIGIVIEW. With so many different DVD companies offering this particular Mr. Moto title, surely this title must be in the pd?
