shopping tip: KAMPUCHEA: THE UNTOLD STORY

I know - I know, don't mention it, Kampuchea is a different war! But this is such an awesome chance to get an completely rare film that I'll post it anyway. LOLZ. Kurt in Finland has the ultra rare Finnish VHS release of the equally rare Thai film KAMPUCHEA: THE UNTOLD STORY up for auction. The tape is letterboxed and dubbed in English. If you check the eBay listing there's a clip from the tape. Go here. I've had the film listed here for quite some time; I own the Japanese VHS (also lbx + Eng. dub). The tape has just been put up and the listing runs for another 7 days almost. No bidders yet. Start bid $8.50. Kurt offers a free dvdr in the NTSC format if you can't play PAL tapes.
EDIT: Winning bid: $20.50



Brigade des moeurs by stebzh

And another tape Kurt is selling is even more obscure to this Filipino Vietnam war site as it's neither Filipino nor war but a French crime flick. But, sacrebleu, what a French crime flick it is!! Madre de dios!! Max Pécas' BRIGADE DES MOEURS from 1985 is totally insane and mega violent. It's so over the top that it's never been released in the US (there's rumours of a reg. 1 dvd under the title of "Brigade of Death" but I haven't been able to find any info on this alleged release and I'll put my money on it being a bootleg). The film is CUT in all territories except on VHS in Norway, Denmark, and France. The uncut tapes run 6½ minutes longer than the HK version!

The tape Kurt is selling is the fully uncut and letterboxed Danish VHS. The tape carries the original French audio and Danish subtitles. There is no uncut English friendly version. For the auction go here. There's four days to go. One bidder. Present bid is $6.50. I wouldn't tell you about this auction if it weren't for the fact that I already have a copy of the Danish tape.
EDIT: Winning bid: 40 dollars.
