I've been meaning to post this for a while but it keeps on slipping my mind. Now, no longer ...

About a year and a half ago I discovered and brought a Chinese language (with English subtitles) video CD (VCD) named "Treasure Hunter."  Now, the acting and plot won't win any awards but it has a great longish scene near the end of a beautiful Chinese lady underwater in a white wedding dress.  If this is something that might appeal to you, then this might interest you.  I brought mine at:

http://www.videocds.com (http://allvcd.com/ also sells it as well). Just do a Google search for TREASURE HUNTER VCD and you probably will find it.

WARNING: This movie does have some graphic violence in it so

if your squimish, don't buy (or else start from the end). I can say that the lady in the dress does survive in the film. :-)  Now, there are a coule of Chinese movies with the name "Treasure Hunter" so I've created a link (above) so that you will see which is the right one.

There is also another Chinese VCD named "Mermaid Got Married" (their version of Splash) but while the lady is quie pretty, her underwater wetlook is not so good.  The guy's underwater wetlook is better so that probably won't interest most of you here.  Better to go with "Treasure Hunter."

I hope this benefits somebody out there.

PS: Most -modern- DVD players can play VCDs with no problem.  So can some computer CD ROM players and Windows Media plery but not always.  There is no issue with regions.  If this is an issue, look for "Treasure Hunter" on DVD but I tried and could not find it.
