The whole idea about this post started from an old movie that I had been looking for on the Internet for ages. It was a year 1990 movie called “Spymaker: The Secret Life of Ian Fleming” starred by Jason Connery and Kristin Scott Thomas. I remember I watched on CCTV 6 channel where the “Zheng Da Zong Yi” program had a movie show every Saturday night. At that time I was in the second year of high school. I found it extremely dazzling (not quite sure it was because of the actor’s appearance or the story itself). I loved it so much so I asked my Dad to tape it for me when the movie was repeated the next day.

Guess what? I didn’t’ get to watch it more than 2 times. No that I lost the interest, it was just those days with old tools to record things, not convenient at all. Nearly 20 years later, I started to fancy to keep a DVD version for this movie, but I just couldn’t find it anywhere, until yesterday I saw it available on one of Internet Online Video websites.

Then I was brave enough to search all the childhood favourites that I can think of, from animation series “Hua Xian Zi” to ” Garrison’s Gorillas” (1967), to “Remington Steele” (where you can see young Pierce Brosnan) to “Ren Zai Bian Yuan” (Hong Kong TV show)……I can find most of them.

The only movie that I couldn’t find (but I have been really wanting to watch it again) is actually a Chinese movie which should be produced by mainland China. It is a story about a group of soldiers with their different specialties on their missions in the China-Vietnam war in 1980s. The movie was so cooooooooool that I couldn’t believe it was a war movie, and directed by Chinese directors.

Unfortunately I didn’t get the name of the movie as I watched on CCTV 6 and started half way. But I reckon it was kind of mid of 1990s production. I can remember people in the movie used a lot of hand gestures to determin the locations for explosions and attack spots, which was so cool that I nearly died.

Does anyone have a hint of what the movie’s name is? And have you ever been like me, looking for some childhood favourite movie or TV show but hasn’t had any success?
