In Reply to: luck with 'code-free' DVD? posted by gwlvrns on May 15, 2004 at 17:13:57:
... has anyone here ordered anything from the 'Asian Cult Cinema' website? Almost all their DVDs are purported to be 'Code Free, and will play in all American DVD players'
I'm a little curious because they have alot of stuff I've been wanting to see that has never been picked up by US distribution

Hello,Never ordered from Asian Cult Cinema, but have done so from Poker Industries, and
have not had a problem. Poker also gives a discount to anybody referred from
an Asian film chat site called 'Mobius Home Video Forum'. Feel free to do a Google
search and check the place out for some worthwhile reviews/information about
HK and other Asian films before you commit and order something sight unseen.
Some industry insiders frequent the site, and often post there.The quality of the transfers are variable, as pointed out by TA, but things have
improved, and some of the newer films have rather good transfers. Region coding
is rarely practised, and many of the discs clearly labelled 'Region 3'on the cases
are actually playable on regular machines.
not familiar with the website, but in general many Hong Kong DVDs (of native films) are code-free. They don't look good either, but they're not bootlegs ... just a lot of cheap and fast product put out by the Hong Kong studios.
