Years ago, living in my squalid Chicago Chinatown apartment, I
stumbled across the wonderful brain-smashing world of Hong Kong
cinema. After several months of viewing a wide spectrum of HK
product, I turned to my roommate one day and said, "Hey. Why don’t
they have these great movies at Gweilo video stores (i.e.
Blockbuster - as Gweilo as a store can get)? It was a brilliant
concept and would’ve gotten off the ground if the premiere Hong
Kong video production company, Tai Seng Video, hadn’t beat me to it.
I guess it helps that they already had the rights to the
films . . .
. . . Nevertheless, I’m glad that the good folks at Tai Seng
have re-packaged and fixed up a large handful of their titles for
the growing white boy market. Spiffy new boxes with English
title translations, correctly cropped aspect ratios, and
readable sub-titles (and get this - they actually put the subs in
the black beneath the image!!!!!) are all reasons to rush right out
and look for the Tai Seng label.
