I suspect SLEEPING CORPSES is the best of this batch, and since I missed out on it when it was previously released, this was a nice find. Anyone else seen it, per chance?

* I'm taking one for the team on this one! The film was naff, but punting that the HK DVD is uncensored; might have been naff but still want to see it uncut!
All that remains now is to see how many of them I get.

And while some folks are undoubtedly gonna have issues with so many pictures so early in this page, I must say I find them quite helpful when planning my little "shopping" trips.

Even though you've mentioned money, 40 x $40HK is still $240AUD, and that's ex-shipping!
More than I've got to throw away in one drop on unknown titles!
Which reminds me...
Flash Point (Hong Kong) (2-DVD)
Hula Girls (Japan) (DVD)
...later on, like week or so, more Shaw titles!

Funny you should mention Customs! That's exactly why I place so many small/medium-sized orders!
Australian Customs tax at about 47% on anything over $250AUD, so the trick is to keep things below that.
Hence, what could be done in one BIG order, has to be split into two or three smaller orders.
Or else the taxman comes after me with a hefty import tax bill...

JIGOKU was $10 , WHEN A WOMAN ASCENDS THE STAIRS was $14.40 plus several others, including EQUINOX, which was recommended by others earlier in this thread, for a measly $14.00 and a few others. Frustratingly, most of them have now gone back up , but keep your eyes on this thread at DVDTalk to see what might still be available:

Luckily, as I write this, the MONSTERS AND MADMEN box, also highly recommended by Masterofoneinchpunch much earlier in this thread, is STILL just $28.80, wihch finally prompted me to pick it up, he'll be happy to know! If anybody's curious to see some interesting sci-fi/horrors from the 50's, particularly the excellent ATOMIC SUBMARINE, this might be the best time ever to spring for this set. Good luck!

PS: How safe/secure is it shopping at Poker? I noticed that when I was going to place an order through them recently that the page you enter your credit card details on isn't secure (no "https" in the URL field).

PS: When are you going to update your blog? I have about four or five Shaw reviews fishing for my attention on mine that will be going up over the next couple of days (Call Girls, Diary of a Lady Killer, Sexy Girls of Denmark, and Hell Has No Boundary) as well as belated review of Marriage With a Fool*.

Not Shaw Stuff:
MY BABY SHOT ME DOWN (Panorama, 2002) Already watched this about a week ago. Very underrated psycho thriller, shot on video, with most of the same cast (Teresa Mak, Jade Leung, Pinky Cheung) and crew who made the BRUSH UP MY SISTERS "trilogy." This is probably the best one from that company, with several surprisingly strong performances and lots of "cinema-style" camerawork that almost makes you forget you're watching a movie shot on video.
