other things I collect - Beyond Tiki

Over the course of time my collection grew to include such classics as "Drunken Master" and "Fists of Fury". Yeah, I know they sound kinda lame but I find them just as 'cool' and unique as tiki since they're not mainstream like collecting comic books, hot wheels, or baseball cards. In my opinion, they also have a kind of kitsch factor. Of course, now everything is coming the way of DVD. Most of these movies aren't even available in DVD and the average lifespan of a videotape is what? 15 years? Some of these tapes are about that old if not older. Man, if I had known that when I first started collecting them in the 1980's I would have just started with tiki mugs in the first place!
