Greek Hong Kong DVDs?

In my eternal trawling for HK films I often come across rare HK films released on Greek DVD. I remember Miltos has often mentioned that Greek newspapers enclose free DVDs on the weekend and I was wondering if these are the ones? Also, it seems they are all horrible fullscreen and dubbed into English. Is this the case or do they have Chinese audio as well? And lastly, do any of you have a complete list of which titles are out in this series? Cheers.

If you don't know which ones I'm talking about you can check out an auction for one of them here:

PS: and do notice the line where the seller says "rare" altho he also states he has got 10 copies, haha.

Yeah, but I want FREEDOM FIGHTER (that I linked to) aka City Cops but I can't find any Asian DVDs or VCDs of it. :(

And besides, the only DVD that seem to have been released with subs is an OOP WA DVD from China that doesn't have the Cantonese track. And the HK VCD is OOP. You just can't win! :(

And since it's a Cynthia Rothrock film I'm wondering if she dubbed herself in English.

Is there a list of HK films on Greek dvd btw?
I'm especially interested in releases with Canto audio and English subs.

Here's what I found so far from label "New Star" in their "Darkside collection",all these have Canto audio and English subs.
Letterboxed I think (at least Hong Kong X-file was)

- Hong Kong X-file
- Red To Kill
- Raped by an Angel

There are too many Greek DVDs of HK horror/action movies, some of them have not an English option but many have. Well, I have to think and write a list with labels....News soon.
