You're lucky to find a copy of A Touch of Zen for only $30.00. The only copy I've ever seen on ebay sold at $110+ last month. Originals of 60s Shaw Bros classics on King's Video (OOP) could sell up to $200. The reason why they're so expensive is their rareness. Anything that is rare will cost much more than usual. So if you're trying to obtain Dragon Gate Inn or the Sentimental Swordsman, be prepared to spend a lot of money. However, most stuff from John Liu, Carter Wong, & the venoms can be found at a pretty decent price ($7-$15), because they're not as rare. I know for that Shaw Brothers see their films as most valuable treasures, so they are very careful about letting other distributors market their movies, which is a big shame.<br><br>
