:D ahh, this brings back memories from the early nineties,  collecting eastern heroes video magazine and anything else eastern related on video! i still have this box too,in mint condition. chingamy yau was very hot! good buy jack ;)

Thanks, unuuk. Collecting those tapes back then was a bit more difficult when you live on the continent. You couldn't just order thru the Internet cos there was none, and I didn't have Visa so every time I ordered something (from a big video shop in Notting Hill Gate in London) I had to send off an expensive cheque and wait 3 weeks for it all to go thru, haha. It wasn't that long ago and yet it seems like a completely different world. I for one am VERY happy with the invention of the Internet, Internet stores, and Visa! :wub:

Anyway, going against the grain as always, I have recently begun to collect all those HK flicks that came out on "Made in Hong Kong" and I've got a few of the Eastern Heroes (and MIA) tapes as well (plus a handful of their magazines and books). I have (what I believe is) a complete list of MIHK tapesbut EH is more difficult. Not least because they also put out tapes in Holland, and so far no one has been able to provide me with a list of releases. Ahm, you wouldn't happen to have one would you? :unsure:

as far as the forbidden asia releases go all i have is GIRLS IN THE TIGER CAGE,DEADLY CHINA DOLLS. and on the hollywood east label i have GIRL ON FIRE and ESCAPE FROM BROTHEL. to my knowledge there werent as many dutch releases from eastern heroes as there uk tapes?!? one title i have looked for high and low is chan wai mans THE CLUB. i dont think this ever got an uncut release on dutch or uk tape :( on another note, finaly got a gorgeous,unfaided copy of CLOUDS for very reasonable dollar!! :D

CLOUDS!! Another one I'm after! :wacko:

You have DEADLY CHINA DOLLS (aka Lethal Panther) on the Dutch leg of the label! Wauw, I didn't even know it was out on that! I have the Eastern Heroes vhs + dvd. The vhs is letterboxed + subtitled and bloody cut 43 seconds! :angry: The dvd is fullscreen, dubbed and... uncut! Go figure! :blink:

I also just this week received the dvd version from Taiseng (which contains both Lethal Panther 1 & 2) and I knew it was dubbed but I was hoping it would be at least letterboxed. Well, it wasn't! :(

Can you please tell me if the Dutch tape is lbx and subbed. Cheers. I assume it's uncut. If it is this is probably the best (and only) good version that exists. I also have a HK VCD but once again it's bloody fullscreen format! "oops!:

the dutch hollywood east tape i have is letterboxed and eng subs. the cover is identical to the english cover. what i could never understand is why they had the two dutch releases? forbidden asia and hollywood east??? the versions over there were not always uncut! i havent yet compared the terrible tai seng dvd and my dutch tape but ive read in some places that though it states on the cover its uncut,it is infact trimmed!?!? ill check it out :ph43r:

Schweden! :blink:
A very obscure release, i've only seen it for sale once before. Now I just have to find out if the film lives up to its hype... Judging from the cover I bet it will! :)
