There is a UK DVD of HL so I'll get that.

The reason I never watched KS is because a week or so before I tried sitting through CALAMITY OF SNAKES and wasn't in the mood for more snake butchery.

Channel Four used to be the best for cult movies, it's a real shame they've moved away from all that as they used to show some real gems.

I know what you mean there's a lot of snake carnage in those films...

Btw Does the newer US dvd of Human Lanterns have more footage re-instated than the UK dvd?
I can't seem to find any info on this...do know there's some alternate footage as an extra.

Some HK Cat III artwork...love it.

Most of the Cat III artwork is better than the movies though (there are exceptions).

I need to get Conspiracy...

You said the magic words... Jackie Chan, I'm on it now. See with that title I never would have known that the book is about all HK films, I would assume just those 2 films. Thanks once again mate

I've come to love the Fortune Star/Joy Sales Legendary Collection releases I just recently picked up.
Not only are they cheap,there's some great titles and they all have reversible cover art (in a slipcase).
They also have some sideways covers (something I really like).

For instance this surprising reverse cover for Robotrix.
