The Untold Story (88 Films) BD

One of my top 10 favorite films of all times. I have the Unearthed Films version that was released a few years ago here in the U.S.

On a somewhat related note-- Despite that fact that numerous Chinese bakeries in my city make good fresh ones, I had never found a decent frozen char siu bao until I tried the Shirakiku brand. if you're a bun fan, and you like to keep a few on hand in the freezer for quick meals, I recommend the Shirakiku BBQ pork flavor.

The UK's way behind on this stuff, we just get these Itsu bao buns which are meh, but widely available. I'm about 30 minutes away from a city that has an 'oriental grocers' (we're behind on that terminology too), and I've got the week off so might check their freezer aisle. Last time I visited friends in Leicester I bought some of those foil packs of cabbage and needle mushroom, they had glass in them! I thought of Anthony Wong trying to kill me!

Glass!?! Jesus! Where's the quality control?

Yeah, every time I eat a bun I think about Anthony Wong. Actually, I think specifically about the scene in Untold Story where the greedy cops can't wait to get their paws on the free buns they've brought back to the station and they're all practically orgasmic as they gorge themselves. Ha, ha. Only Danny Lee has the foresight to abstain.

The Cat o'Nine Tails (UHD) - $11.95 (same as above.)
