Bullet In The Head. Mei Ah
A prime example of how important the VCD can be, the cut of Bullet In the Head on this original Mei Ah release is unavailable anywhere else (and was for years the only place to see the boardroom ending). It also features the original music cues that were replaced on all subsequent releases.
Thanks to Mark for the scans

Welcome to the Hong Kong VCD Cover Archive...
Why the Hong Kong VCD cover archive?
While the VCD format is derided by many (including me in the past), it's a really important format for Hong Kong movie fans. Many movies from HK have only ever been released on the VCD format, and most of those are unlikely to be released again anytime soon if ever, therefore VCD as a format, in spite all it's failings, becomes important by default. I want there to be a record, not of the films themselves (we have the HKMDB for that), but the fact that at one time these films were available! That was the original thinking, but then I thought why limit it to just those titles? So now any HK VCD is welcome, the more the merrier. Think of it as a way of revisiting and celebrating the golden era of HK cinema via the video format that rose to prominence during those halcyon days.
To start with this page will be an archive of my own HK VCD covers, but I'd like it to grow and become a real resource for the Hong Kong film fan. In order to do that I will need contributions from as many VCD junkies as possible. Please, please get in touch if you can contribute.
