Thanks, Member-X. Now, spend a little time and add info on where they are located. What sort of films do the carry. Are they expensive. Difficult/easy to deal with. Are they crooks. Do they ship internationally. Are they English friendly. :hello!:

Gladly, but I'm not really sure where some of them are located. But I'm sure they all love you and think you are special.

Well, I was refering to the DvDs... didnt check the posters. But for all online stores in Korea you need a Korean id + Korean address to be able to purchase anything.

Here in Malaysia a lot of VCD are almost impossible to find now...expecially the indonesian ones as they're out of print since ages. I think I bought the very last copies ever of some title like "Drakula Mantu" or "Gundala putra petir"...I went to 5-6 distributors based in KL and I saw only 15-20 indonesian movies in stock and they said there are the very last copies ever available. Most of them were printed bewteen 2000 and 2001 and they sold out during the years. And I gave the deadly strike to most of them :D

Also a lot of malaysian movies (Gergasi, Toyol, Nora Zain agent wanita, Detik 12 malam...) are impossible to find nowadays.

You're in Malaysia? Cool. Too bad they're so hard to find now. I think I was lucky to get into the Indonesian films just before they went OOP. I got a few of those Barry Prima films.

Btw, you wouldn't happen to have this vcd release of the Indonesian edit of RAMBU, would you? I have a dvdr of it but I've been searching for an original vcd for a few years now. :( :wacko:

Hahaha....he's probably a chinese, as they always have such long fingernails :P

Yes, I think I can find an additional copy of the VCD....I bought one copy for my collection just a couple of days ago to increase my collection or Rambo spin-offs and clonese :D

I think it should be easy to find one more copy...give me a couple of days and I will let you know. There aren't many indonesian VCD shops here and they are concentrated almost in the same area in Chow Kit, the indonesian street....

I will let you know!

You found one just a couple of days ago!! :blink:

It would certainly be very good if you could find an extra for me. :up:

You do know the whole story about how they made two versions of RAMBU, right? The Indonesian company filmed two versions of all the scenes that feature the main character (Rambu) but for the international marked they used an actor from New Zealand called Peter O'Brian, and for the local version they used an Indonesian actor. The vcd is (as far as I know) the only release that has the Indo actor in it. All video tapes are the international version (there are no DVD's).

The international version is called THE INTRUDER. Btw, they cut out some of the violence from the Indonesian version.
