No - But I'd love to... do you have a source for Hong Kong/John Woo/Jacie
Chan films???

I'd love to see more (I've got a fair amount on tape from my trip to Taiwan,
but I want MORE!!!)

    Every Thursday night for the rest of August, there are Chow Yun Fat
    films at the Brattle, usually by directors John Woo or Wong Jing. 
    Fridays for the rest of August, the MFA is having its anual HK Film
    Fest.  Saturday afternoons starting 9-23, HK films are playing at
    Coolidge Corner.  (This information is good only if you're in the
    Boston area, I suppose.)  I buy my videos from two people:
    
    Seaton Change
    2655 Mapleton Ave., #203
    Boulder, CO  80304-3848
    303-449-3837
    
    Garo Nigoghossian
    617-787-7960
    (don't have his address with me, but can get it)
    
    Also, there are lots of home pages on the Web, some of which list
    places all over the world.  I did a search on Jackie Chan and came up
    with about 10 pages, plus links.
    
    What tapes did you bring back from Taiwan?

What are the prices??? Are they dubbed in english or subtitles (I hope
subtitles, but usually HK films have horrible subtitiles...) Are they
real tapes or copies??? 
    
>    with about 10 pages, plus links.

Can you post them here?
    
>    What tapes did you bring back from Taiwan?

Hmmm... let's see... (trying to remember...)

Jackie Chan:
Armour of God I and II (part 2 is better...)
Police Story I and II
Mr. Canton and Lady Rose (I think that's the name...)

Jon Woo:
A Better Tomorrow
Hard Boiled

Other:
Once Upon A Time in China III
The Wicked City (I think... a ghost/demon movie)
A Chinesse Ghost Story (I think I have parts 1 and 2... don't remember)

there might be others... it was a fair number of 'em.
