The others were totally awesome...B-)<br /><br />CS, Colin actually gave away a copy of the DVD (with subtitles - we saw the dubbed version), so it was out there at some point. I don't know if it is currently available. I plan on finding out soon though...B-) I expect some trolling through Spadina or the Pacific Mall might turn up a copy, but you certainly take your chances doing that...<br /><br />By the way, if you are at After Dark this week (and from the looks of your blog you are), look for us by the front left side of the Bloor (your left as you walk in). I'm missing Cargo today, but will be at the following two and the Pub afterwards.

Really, there's no better solution than to roll up my sleeves and start screening more, but whether one is discussing classic martial arts movies or contemporary ones, it's almost daunting with the amount of releases available. I only feel this way about martial arts films.
