Jabootu's Bad Movie Dimension

With companies scrambling to release nearly all of the hundreds of Shaw Bros. kung fu movies--Shout Factory is releasing it's fifth such set, Arrow it's third, etc.--they are starting to hit other Asian movie niches. It's a great time to be a B-movie geek. Shout Factory has released sets of erotic scf-fi and ghosts,…
