Member The Silver Fox Posted July 1, 2009 Member Share Posted July 1, 2009 Thanks for the heads up. Yeah, I checked HKFlix before and I thought about ordering it-but I don't want to get stuck waiting for weeks and then get a message that their supplier doesn't have it. I guess if I can't find it on DVD I'll just get the VCD from DDDHouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Iron Boat Posted July 1, 2009 Member Share Posted July 1, 2009 VCD's are alright, go for it, get it while you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member The Silver Fox Posted July 2, 2009 Member Share Posted July 2, 2009 I decided to just get the VCD from DDDHouse. I found it on DVD from The ThaiMegamart but the shipping was outrageous-like 19.95.I had a few DVDs in my cart, so I figured I'd just get Secret Service-the shipping was still 19.95 for 1 DVD! No wonder they don't disclose their shipping costs upfront. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member The Silver Fox Posted July 3, 2009 Member Share Posted July 3, 2009 Perhaps I didn't make myself clear. I didn't buy anything from The Thai Megamart. I got to the checkout and when I saw the total cost with shipping, I didn't follow through with it. I then proceeded to good old DDDHouse and made my purchase.

Member The Silver Fox Posted July 10, 2009 Member Share Posted July 10, 2009 Unfortunately,Ethaicd has it listed as OOP as well. My quest to attain this increasingly rare title has taken an unsuspected turn. Johnny from DDDHouse has informed me that the VCD is now out of stock/out of print and they will not be getting any more. It seems this movie and actually alot of other IVL titles are going the way of the Dodo. I found another place, PlayAsia that has the VCD in stock so I ordered it from there. It seems like their on top of what's in stock and what's not so I'm really hoping they can help me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member The Silver Fox Posted July 22, 2009 Member Share Posted July 22, 2009 The saga continues...PlayAsia cancelled my order,they can't locate a copy. Thankfully YesAsia came through. I should have went with them earlier. They always deliver fast and item is packaged very carefully. I received my copy of Secret Service of the Imperial Court today.

Member CominAtYa! Posted November 27, 2009 Member Share Posted November 27, 2009 Seems to get lambasted by fans but I really enjoy it. In fact, it's one of my favorite Shaw Brothers movies. Soundtrack is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator KUNG FU BOB Posted November 27, 2009 Administrator Share Posted November 27, 2009 I really dug this one too. Hey Silver Fox, what did you think of it once you finally got it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member The Silver Fox Posted November 27, 2009 Member Share Posted November 27, 2009 I thought it rocked. I've watched it 2-3 times already. I'm really glad I took the effort to track it down. 'Secret Service' embodies all the elements of a kung fu/wuxia classic and I feel the undercranking enhances the frantic nature of the story.

Member Skepparkrans Posted April 11, 2011 Member Share Posted April 11, 2011 Wow thanks, But do you have any experiance ordering from shaw intercontinental? Its seems they have many items that are listed as oop on other stores, Do they actualy update their site? seems to good to be true... Edit: Guess it is to good to be true, another member on KFC wrote this in a old thread about ordering from them: "I placed an order with Shaw Intercontinental for 14 Celestial titles, assuming that they'd have somewhere between 4 and 10 of them. I was wrong. 12 out of 14 were out-of-stock -- despite the fact that all 14 were and still are listed as being available." http://www.kungfucinema.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12783 well my hunt for Secret Service of the Imperial Court and Lady Assassin continue..

I hear what you're saying. The only thing is that they keep adding new titles to their site, so it doesn't seem stagnet. If you're wanting a new DVD, I would be apt to try to place an order just for those 2 titles and see what happens. They shouldn't charge you unless the order ships, but you should check their policy first before placing the order. Did you check the Marketplace Forum?
