They had two, didn't they? One went on fire once?

I went to the addresses in mid-2002, but they seemed to have gone.

Didn't Jonathan Ross help open the second one?

Can't help it but became curious in which VCD that was in purple (1:34). The one you look at first before turning the 2 VCD's before it back. Any ideas?

The days of Laserdiscs - I thought your hand got smaller!

'Rumble' was quite interesting. Got the Speedy VCD and Thakral/Chinastar DVD. Not sure if I've seen the ones in the store before. Think one was the VCD of the Thakral version, but I think the other one was different.

I didn't realise the Eastern Heroes store stocked products not made by them.

Was it 'Shaolin Plot' playing on the screen?

Yeah there was one in Camden aswell. used to go in there all the time. Brilliant shop, shame it's still not there really.

I do remember visiting the Eastern Heroes shop near Chinatown in the West End but at that time I hadn't started collecting kungfu movies.

That was the Shaftsbury Ave shop wasn't it?

The Camden shop was in a basement.

I was in them both about 15 yrs ago when I was a kid.

Everything was way overpriced though.

That's the one Markgway!
I've never been to the one in Camden.
Yeah I do remember prices being quite expensive! Kungfu Monthly mags were £10 each and I recall a Naked Killer printed poster which wasn't very huge was £5 each! I never did buy anything from the shop!
