He has done insanely well for himself, legend that he is.
I had no idea they cost that much to produce... I was in High school when I started my collection! ha. Spending £20 on a DVD was HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD, but luckily they only released a couple every month or two - so I had time to save! hehe.
I can't see how Tartan manage to put out the crud they do and make money. I have seen most of the films they release under the Extreme banner and its garbage! The only thing they have done right is release Save the Green Planet! Why the hell they didn't release Memories of Murder is beyond me.
That's why I'm fond of Third Window Films, Adam Torel is doing the UK a justice releasing films like Oasis and Friend. Too bad the UK aren't savvy to classic Korean cinema... yet!
It has to be a real love/hate enterprise! hehe.
