since the age of 12/13yrs old i started collecting Jackie Chan films on vhs around 1995/96 with my hard earned paper round money.then a year or 2 later "dvd" became the format of the future.as you can see from the entire first row on the clip i eventually updated and expanded my Jackie collection.this also got me into hong kong cinema in general and over the years my kung fu/martial arts/far eastern movie collection has grown and developed.
i also like many other types and genres ie:japanese/korean/thai/manga/sci-fi/zombies-horror//brit flicks/gangster/hood movies/cartoons/tv series/comedy etc...
the best part of my collection is the 120 shaw brothers studios movies from china(all on the black shelving)which cover kung fu/swordplay/drama/musicals/huangmei opera and contemporary.
760 of the finest shaws movies,which ran from the 1950s to 1985(the year shaws studios ceased movie production,although its a t.v studio these days)have been professionally restored and transferred immaculately to dvd throughout 2003-2007 by celestial pictures.celestial have done a superb job considering these films were locked in vaults/stored away for many years.
not until 2003+could westeners get such an amazing opportunity to see such great pieces of wonderous chinese cinema.
in the uk/us/west,there were some limited cinema showings of shaws studio movies in the 70s during the Bruce Lee kung fu craze and a handful of bootleg or limited release vhs tapes circulating in the 80s but these just dont compare to the superior quality of the celestial versions.
i could go on all day about this section but its easier if you google search/youtube search shaw brothers to find out more on these amazing classics.
also moviesuper.com is an official dedicated site selling these historic masterpieces on dvd/vcd.
check them out!
a special mention to Sammo Hung,another favourite multitalented action legend of who's movies i have 35 of on dvd.
awesome collection! I collect shaw brothers movies im up to 140 now.
