Idea: Vanishing Son TV Movies & Series Preservation

Remember back in the mid-nineties when Universal had THE ACTION PACK. A series of made for TV movies for prime-time television to put themselves on the map? Included in THE ACTION PACK was Hurcules, Team Knight Rider, William Shatner’s TekWar and Vanishing Son. Vanishing Son was an epic tale about a young man Jian Wa and his brother Waigo. The brothers were freedom fighters from China who fought their way to the United States in search of a better life. THE ACTION PACK broadcasted four feature films and then later Vanishing Son was comissioned for one season of TV. The one season consisted of 13 Fugitive-like episodes showcasing Jian Wa on the run for a murder he never comitted. I would like to do a DVD set preserving the four films and 13 episodes. I have a couple of the movies and some of the episodes on old worn out VHS. If someone out there happens to have HQ transfers of the Vanishing Son material the help would be appreciated. I intend to put tons of time into this project. Vanishing Son must be preserved!http://www.geocities.com/russellwongpage/russdrool1.jpg

Vanishing Son was great. I think I might have the uncut movies as they aired on Starz/Encore on tape, but I'm not sure - I'll have to check. Good luck with this!

If you have them that would be awesome. I just want to obtain the best possible transfers for the project. I know my VHS copies are too poor to use.

I have been looking for the vanishing son movies and series for a long time and would buy copies of the tapes from you if you agree to sell them. Let me know if you are willing to do this and how I can contact you.

Thanks

I was a big fan of this show (and the movies). I wish they had done more with this show. When they were doing the ACTION PACK series, there were some really bad shows, but this one was definitely worth watching. I'd really be interested in copies of this if it ever surfaces.
