I'm looking for out-of-print, rare or even second-hand DVDs of HK movies only ( from cheap to higher prices but original copy ).
I'm a fan of HK movies and own 600 Retails DVDs ( meaning originals, not pirated or copy ).
I visit on a regular basis all the DVD shops of Central - Wanchai - Causeway Bay - TST - Jordan - Yau Ma Tei - Mongkok - Prince Edward, where i can find Chinese DVD shops and can buy difficult to find movies.
Can someone recommend me other districts where to find those kind of shops & do you know where i can find second hand DVD shops ( where usually it's possible to find rare DVDs ) or a shop specialist in Rare HK printed DVD ?
It would be great as now, it's more and more difficult for me to find the HK movies i'm looking for.

Thanks

What sort of titles?

[Jeromea]

What sort of titles ?? It's hundreds of titles.

I would say HK movies from the 80's / 90's , out-of-print like the releases Deltamac/Fortune Star ( still possible to find some but not that much ).
Looking for all the rare and out of print movies of Tony Leung Ka Fai, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Simon Yam, Donnie Yen, Chow Yun Fat, Sammo Hung.

Have you tried looking through www.hkflix.com ?

Thanks for the info but I know all the website where is can get some of them ( hkflix, yesasia, dddhouse...), but i don't want to buy outside of HK, i prefer to give my money to locals than big abroad business or to pay twice or more the real price, and it's more fun to go thru hundreds of dvds with the hope to find the one i'm looking for than to put the title on the search box of an online shop.

Well the areas you have mentioned seem pretty comprehensive in terms of locations so I can't really reccomend any other areas but I can suggest one or two shops that I know of that may or may not be of use.

There are a few specialist/second hand shops in the basement of the Emperor Centre in Wan Chai. One or two specialise in imports for example so if a DVD of Bullet in the Head dubbed in French or Japanese is your thing that would be the place to go

For works by independent HK film makers rather than commercial releases you can go to Ying e Chi (also in Wan Chai). They're actually an independent film distributor but they will also sell direct to you.

The shop in the Broadway Cinemateque in Yau Ma Tei is also worth a look but I'm guessing you've already been there.

Can you read Chinese?

You could try www.zokegd.com - The have a large wholesale catalog of all sorts and there is a place in Tai Po (in Plover Cove Shopping Mall just off Kwong Fuk Road) that stocks some of their HDCAM collection. Lots of early Stephen Chow stuff, Jackie Chan, Chow Yun Fat etc. Good thing is they only cost around $30 a piece. Just not sure if it is exactly what you are after?

To Dipper : thanks for the tips, i didn't try yet the shop in the cinematheque.

To pekkerhead : Thanks i will take a look as i'm looking for earlies also.

YesAsia.com is a Hong Kong company

Do you collect HD dvds/BR too? Not sure if too many HK film companies are putting out in hidef, i've only seen Infernal Affairs and i think Election. Only place I know to go to is HMV.com.

Sorry to hijack your thread if u don't care about HD.
