Shaolin Soccer - Best Movie/DVD of 2001

I`m going to go out on a limb and declare Shaolin Soccer my choice for best Movie/DVD of the Year. Sorry Mr. Jackson, I adored LOTR but for sheer entertainment, gut-busting humour, genuine passion and complete insanity this is the movie I have enjoyed more than any other this year - plus it`s on a cracking region-free dvd. I urge everyone to take a chance and check it out.

While I`m on the subject of the dvd, does anyone know how to turn off the "White Rabbit" feature that pops up?

I too think this movie is amazing but its not everyone,s cup of tea,
i gave it to a few people in my work for a look at, they have,nt spoken to me since and they are looking at me funny....the movie is completely BONKERS!

Have you seen Legend of Zu yet?
i rate this film way above Shaolin Soccer for effects and entertainment.

You should check it out!

There is no option to turn the white rabbit off.

On your recommendation ;-) I`m just going to order this from Coola, but I don`t have a flipping Visa/MC!!! They don`t do AMEX either...Bugger, I`ll have to borrow someone`s.

I dont know any UK sites that have it but i use www.charmes.de for all my asian movies.
Its a store in Germany and i highly recommend it, you can order order as many DVDs as you like and the delivery charge stays the same its about £5.

The delivery is between 4-10 days and its registered so no problems,
the guy who runs it e-mails you when it gets sent out.

All my films usually arrive in 4-7 days.

I have looked at this site and it`s a very good one. Great range of dvds.

I can`t find on the site where postage charges are mentioned. I want to price some things up but need to know how much postage will be.

Do you know how much (in euros) they charge?

Also, do you know of a site which reviews asian films (HK, Japan and Korean).

Not martial arts films though. I like the gory horror flicks, stuff like Audition or Junk.

Hello, check out this Asian movie discussion board, the people here are fanatics on Asian Cinema and are all very freindly and helpful.....

Does it not tell you about the charges in the shipping info?

The site has just had a facelift so maybe everything is not up and running yet.

Hope this helps:)

To buy `most` HK films go to http://www.dddhouse.com - cheap and reliable
