		Run Run Shaw was aware of the trend in Japan and the USA’s action cinema and influenced his directors by “scheduling mandatory screenings of Japanese and yakuza films for his staff” (Ho, 2000:115) to try and influence their style through the popular and more advanced Japanese cinema.

	Light Sleeper - Late Night Writings On Cinema
		Although these DVD’s do contain the original Mandarin dialogue track with English subtitles, many aficionados will prefer the fun of watching their Chinese heroes speak English with a mouth whose movements constantly transcend the dubbed dialogue, beginning a second or two before and continuing a second or two after a sentence is spoken.
		Aside from the way in which unintentional comic dimensions have, over the years, opened up within these films like great yawning chasms, it would be wrong to think that the Shaw Brothers’ films only ever appealed to die-hard fans of Oriental martial arts, or to those who appreciated their boundless unintended absurdities.
		Upon their original release the Shaw Brothers films were also admired by many in the Black American community who were attracted by the fact that they were action-films which featured non-White protagonists, (and the influence of such films on American directors can be seen in the Blaxploitation sub-genre of the 70’s).

	The Bastard - DVD Review
		Regardless of that misstep, in the views of this curious and evolving admirer of the Shaw Brother's era, The Bastard stands as a drama classic of unexpected layered proportions.
		Combine Chor Yuen's handling of that aspect in combination with a superbly shot film on the well-crafted Shaw Brother's sets, and you'll get a film with a poignant, bleak view of the world, a feeling that can only set in after the final frame of the film.
		Even though released before IVL went anamorphic for their Shaw Brother's releases, this is a good 2.40:1 framed remastered print with fine colours, sharpness and detail.
