@samuraiguy2005 When I first got into Hong Kong Cinema, one of the first resources I remember hearing was Meyers commentary for OUATIC 1. What kind of disinformation have I been told? I'm not being confrontational or anything, I'm just curious.
I kept hearing about 'Shogun Assassin' so when I saw the Blu-ray I grabbed it. I'm not a martial arts buff but I thought it was pretty entertaining especially considering how old it is. I like commentaries so I flipped to the Ric Meyers / Steve Wilson track which turned out to be some jerk named Meyers talking about all kinds of CRAP that was not on the screen while the real expert Steve Wilson struggled to get a word in. I kept hoping for the cracking sound of a swift chop to Meyers' neck!!
samuraiguy2005 is right!!! Ric Meyers is a disgrace. Nothing but lies and fabrications. Listen to anyone of his audio commentaries, and then go and research the stuff he said for yourself! Im sure you'll be surprised.....!!!
Ric Meyers is a jerk and has done a tremendous disservice to the film genre he claims to be an expert on. He doesn't deserve to be called a "legend," unless it's a legend of incorrect "information."
I beg to differ. I've had the opportunity to meet Ric Meyers twice, and both times he spent more than a good hour of his time to talk to me one-on-one.
He is one of the least jerk-like people I've met, leading me to believe that you're just talking shit.
Or maybe I simply have a problem with Ric Meyers for spouting enormous amounts of BS in both his commentaries and his articles.
He's claimed that all of the Shaw Brothers films were lost in a fire. 2000 comes along and Celestial Pictures announces plans to remaster the whole catalog. Ric hasn't admitted that he's lied about that yet.
I also recall him claiming Chang Cheh doubled for a female in Ninja in the Deadly Trap. He doesn't know what he's talking about. I stand by my statement.
