Member June Posted January 14, 2011 Member Share Posted January 14, 2011 shaolin sword, i don't remember dragon video. far east flick & ocean shore videos was the suppliers back in the day. then going to new york (2 motto st upstairs) and the arch street parmacy in philly became the hook ups. i know rick hopkins, robert samuel & bob ? also. then came jeff & the internet.

Member shaolin swords Posted January 15, 2011 Author Member Share Posted January 15, 2011 good read.......i used to have a catalog from jars videos too but never orderd from them i think they are still in bizness i was looking for a couple of vhs kung fu movie on the computer and there website came up.but i recently looked for jars videos and could not find any thing i dont know if there still in bizness.and also i remember getting a inside kung fu magazine back in the day when iron monkey first came out remember tai seng where selling it from any where from 65-80 dollars crazy prices for one movie. that whole thing you wrote about kung fu movie companys from the 80s and 90s.reminds me of how hard it was to buy these movies.now its easy for these kids the internet a click away from about any movie you want.but all honestly i miss those days going on a hunt for one movie you saw as a kid and been waiting for years to get and you finaly get the movie.i injoyed reading that artical you wrote good read.

Member mpm74 Posted January 15, 2011 Member Share Posted January 15, 2011 You are welcome. In the late 80's and early 90's, I probably spent thousands of dollars on Dragon Video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
