The Hong Kong DVD Thread
 

I know many people buy HK dvd's of Western movies but I mainly buy HK Films and occasionally a Japanese one (English subs).
As with Japanese dvd's I really like the covers.
The look of the menus and the typically wrecked English subs also provide me with the full HK movie experience. ;)

Here's some from my collection,curious about other member's collections. ;)

I'd really love to see a lot more HK films, I've only owned/watched a few because of my Jackie Chan Collection.
What would you say are 'MUST WATCH' films? Doesn't matter what genre.

Do I have to include films like The Killer,A Better Tomorrow and Hard Boiled? ;)

:laugh: Believe it or not but yeah, I haven't seen them yet. tut tut Mr Mumford tut tut :behindsofa:

Maybe start with those then? ;)
I'd start with A Better Tomorrow then The Killer and then Hard Boiled.

Some other suggestions to start you off:

Encounter of the Spooky Kind (1980)
Zu: Warriors of the Magic Mountain (1983)
Mr. Vampire (1985)
Yes, Madam! (1985)
Royal Warriors (In the Line of Duty) (1986)
A Chinese Ghost Story (1987)
Black Cat (1991)
Story of Ricky (1991)
Naked Killer (1992)
Swordsman 2 (1992)
The East Is Red (1993)
The Heroic Trio (1993)
Black Mask (1996)

Btw this is like Imdb but about Chinese film only: google hkmdb

Great thread you got here. Back in the VHS days I spent every spare dime on HK films. All ordered from HK. Couldn't get enough of em. Sadly I gave away all my VHS when DVDs came around.:( Looking back, I wish I could've found some place to store them. The first DVD I ever bought was Dragon Inn. I have gone to Hong Kong twice on vacation and took empty suitcases with me to be filled with DVDs. Still have not got near as many as I had on VHS. When I get a free minute I will take a photo and post em.

Ooh,I'd love to see some pics Cap! :)
I've still got many HK vhs (mainly US versions but seems these were also made there?).

I had the HK DVD's of KILLER SNAKES and HUMAN LANTERNS but I sold them before I watched them.
