Kekexili: Mountain Patrol

I'm trying to watch this thanks to Recon's recommendation. The only DVD I can find is an expensive UK R2 (which doesn't seem to be particularly extras-filled). Guess I'll need to wait for the price to reduce. Cheapest I can find is around £12 odd.

Anyone know of other cheaper regions?

No idea! I'll wait for the German disc. Watched it at the theatre here and the German subs seemed to be decent. Top film.

Just found an HK DVD exists and I want it (for the superior artwork).

Seems out of stock everywhere... what gives?

hey,

wasn't released very long ago by ERA so could be a temporary situation.No features, not even the trailer for movie. Which is a shame because the Mainland dvd (complete with scrolling logo every few minutes) had a making-of. Still, the disc serves the film well and is an interesting comparison piece to The Missing Gun (Lu Chuan's first film) in the way they are not the same at all!

Yeah I really enjoyed the Missing Gun. That's what made me find out about this film. 8)

Thanks for the comments guys in the other thread.

Did you buy the UK R2 Mountain Patrol Grim?

CT do this far to often for foreign and in particular Asian films.

hey,

the Mainland Chinese dvd had a making of and the so called deluxe edition (still comes with an animated FACE logo even with subtitles off!) may have had an even longer one.
