Love Taiwan!



Gee whiz!! One of my fave Hong Kong "girls with guns" flicks is KILLER ANGELS (starring Moon Lee). Unfortunately, it's never been released on HK DVD, VHS, LD, or VCD with English subtitles. Actually it's never been released on HK DVD at all, and if there are video tapes or a laserdisc releases I have certainly never come across them. All I've been able to find is an un-subbed VCD and an English dubbed American VHS (which I only have a bootleg off). I must have watched that VCD 15 times as it's such an entertaining movie. HOWEVER... last night... I stumbled over a DVD release from Taiwan... that says it has English subtitles!! Fucken brilliant!! I ordered it right away. It's from a well known eBay seller in HK (and he's got more copies if you want one!). It's listed as letterboxed and dubbed in Mandarin. I also bought MAD MAD GHOST (also on Taiwan DVD) and VAMPIRE KIDS (on HK DVD). Niice!

  1. KILLER ANGELS is a beauty. Can you provide the seller's name?

    Another film not released on DVD in HK is BURNING AMBITION. I think there was a VCD, but I didn't snag it.

  2. Hey Pulp. It sure is a beauty! The seller is Hongkongposter in HK. They have a few Taiwan DVDs (just make a search for "Taiwan" with the store search engine).

    Killer Angels:
