Meixner. (Here in Montreal, I have been able to buy films at HMV: a subtitled but pan-and-scan copy of The Killer (~=C$20); a subtitled and letterbox copy of Hard-Boiled (~=C$17); and a dubbed, abc news online pan-and-scan version of A abc news online Better Tomorrow (~=C$30). I have also been able to rent films at Wah Fung, in China town (on the east side of St. Laurent abc news online south of Rene-Levesque). In Toronto, I bought the five Arena films from the Towers store at Yonge & Queen (C$80 for the 5); I know they also carry some of the Woo flicks. For other city-by-city breakdowns, you might try asking on alt.asian-movies. I have also heard that the American Suncoast chain stocks CYF movies, but of them I know relatively little. Chinatowns. Chinatowns are of course a great source of CYF films, but there are several problems, if you're a typical clueless foreigner. One of the most serious is that most HK films are exclusively sold as VCDs or DVDs. If you're looking for videotapes, you're likely out of luck, though you may find a rental place.
