The Hawaiians, The intertwined lives of two kindred souls with ambition begins when Captain Whip Hoxworth discovers that Nyuk Tsin has been smuggled aboard as part of the cargo on The Carthaginian, which he captains, a cargo supposed to consist of only male Chinese workers bound for Hawaii. Nyuk Tsin was kidnapped from her Haaka village to be sold to a Honolulu brothel. She is spared when Mun Ki claims she is his wife, and Hoxworth goes along with his wife’s suggestion that they can work in the Hoxworth household as domestic servants. Nyuk Tsin becomes known to all as Wu Chow’s Auntie (Aunt of Five Continents) when her five sons are named after continents (with Mun Ki’s wife in China regarded as their official mother). Whip founds an empire in pineapples, using Japanese laborers, after smuggling his first seed crop from French Guiana as Wu Chow’s Auntie grows a family business in Honolulu around her sons.

I preferred this sequel to the original

THE HAWAIIANS is the second half of Michener’s saga about Hawaii, and in many ways I found it a much more satisfying movie. The film follows the life of an adventurer and opportunist, Charlton Heston, as he tries to strike it rich in 18th century Hawaii. His primary concern is money and power and he is willing to do most anything to acquire it–such as sneaking off to the Caribbean to steal pineapples to transplant in Hawaii, exploit his workers and stomp on most anyone who got in his way. At the same time, the story follows a Chinese woman (Tina Chen) that comes to work for Heston. She is the concubine of a Chinese man whose wife remained behind in China. Throughout the movie she is referred to by her biological children as “auntie” because she is not the official wife of the man (Mako). This is very sad, because she is devoted to him and when he contracts leprosy, she selflessly follows him to the hellhole island on Molokai to the leper colony. Somehow she survives and can rejoin her children, though the man dies of his disease. Once back, this polite and selfless woman begins to change to a hard-as-nails business woman. Later in the story, a romance buds between Heston’s son and Chen’s daughter and both prospective in-laws have to learn to put aside their bigotry and learn to accept this relationship. In a way, it is a metaphor for the “new Hawaiians” of the 20th century. The film has great action, acting and a story. Lots to hold your interest in this film.

Deal at your own risk.

Slow to ship and no confirmation once sent. Reverse cover art states a 16:9 presentation but transfer is 4:3 pan & scan. No response from seller when this issue was raised.

A good DVD but episodes out of order.

A good DVD, but the episodes were misnumbered and out of order. Not a problem once the viewer realises and watches episodes in correct order.

Erg blij met deze komische horror film, was deze al een tijdje aan het zoeken!

Battletruck dvd

I received my dvd of the movie Battletruck a couple of weeks ago but I've been away so couldn't watch it until last night.
Great old classic that brought back a few memories.
I purchased it at a great price and it arrived in good condition and in good time.
I would have no hesitation in recommending these guys to anyone who is looking for a hard to find classic movie.
Great range and great service 👍
