When did DDDHouse get that expensive, I remember the days when it was like £4 a disc!! Ha ha.

Most are around £4 before P&P. This release is a high profile one with loads of extras and digitally remastered. You don't get a lot of that with the HK DVDs.

The HKL In The Line Of Duty release always annoyed for the the simple fact that it's actually in The Line Of Duty 4.Likewise their release of Police Assassins ,which was really In The Line Of Duty 2.(I think! the titles can be confusing)

Most HK films have more than one title. Police Assassins (USA) was also known as Yes, Madam! (UK) as well as In The Line Of Duty 2. The first In The Line Of Duty film was also known as Royal Warriors. In The Line Of Duty 3 was also known as Yes, Madam 2 and Force Of The Dragon. It wasn't just HKL who used alternative titles. As for number 4....... the full title in some places was In The Line Of Duty IV: Witness but in some areas it was Yes, Madam 4. Even though I can't work out how the alternative titles jumped from YM2 to Y4M. Probably best not to think about it too much.

Chinese movies are as bad as Italian movies for alternative names.

I visited the DVD branch of J.G. Windows in Gateshead's Metro Centre this morning and they had several copies of A Chinese Ghost Story 2 and the single disc Fist Of Fury for £4 each! I'll be keeping an eye open for anymore HKL titles that may appear.

The same outlet also had the Premier Asia double disc sets of both Japanese The Grudge efforts for the same price.

Two good movies Especially Chinese Ghost Story 2
