Where to buy Mark Dacascos stuff
Photos, posters, autographed pictures, books and soundtracks
Currently I don't know of a site where you can buy photos or posters of Mark.
Most of the stuff relating to Mark Dacascos is not recent, so a lot of it isn't
availabe new any more.
Your best bet would be Ebay.com,
Yahoo Auctions and other auction sites.
Movies, TV movies, TV series and TV guest roles
Regarding Crying Freeman, my main focus is the live action movie, so I haven't
searched out any information on the animated movies or the comic books.
A lot more gore, violence, sex and nudity in the manga and anime.
Try online shops like the different Amazons - depending on whether you want
vhs PAL tapes or vhs NTSC tapes, DVD region 1 (U.S.A.), region 2 (Europe and Japan) or region 4 (Australia):
Amazon America ,
Amazon England.
For amazon uk and US, remember to check the auctions and ZShops too.
Amazon France ,
Amazon Germany.

And since Amazon does not have everything,
here are a few more online shops :
England, region 2 : Sendit.com
France, region 2 :
Alapage (strangely, they only list Drive and Double
Dragon when you use search word "Dacascos", but using "Crying Freeman" the DVD shows up)
Fnac. Some of them even have english language options!
Australia, region 4:
EzyDVD.com.au sell the complete Crow: Stairway to Heaven series.
Auction sites where you can search for stuff that's "out of print" :
America :
France :
Ebay , has swallowed ibazar.
Aucland
Onatoo
Still Unavailable
Thanks to the release of TV series on DVD, a lot of Mark's work is now available to buy.
But not all ....
Martial Law
Tales from the Crypt
One West Waikiki
Dragnet
As far as I know, none of these are available to buy, so you would have to try getting
copies from people who taped them off TV. You could try the newsgroup alt.video.tape-trading
or alt.video.tape-trading.pal, but be sure to read some old message beforehand to find
warnings of bad traders.
Or you can keep an eye out for Mark's appearances on tv by going to
TV Now and hope you get lucky.
Miscellaneous videos :
Mark's own "Enhancing Your Skills". Made in 1992, running time approximately 60 minutes
available from
CFW for $29.95,
excluding postage
If you live in Europe, remember to specify if you want an NTSC tape since otherwise, you
will automatically get a PAL tape, at an additional $10 ...... at least I did.
I've seen mention of it being available on DVD, but I haven't found any copies.
Video Games
In 1995, Mark played 2nd Lt. Troy "Catscratch" Carter in the video sequences of
"Wing Commander - The Price of Freedom".
The stars in the game were Mark Hamill, Tom Wilson, John Rhys-Davies and Malcolm McDowell.
Tiny bit of trivia: Confed Redshirt #3 was played by Casper Van Dien.
Iron Chef America: Supreme Cuisine was released for Nintendo WII on December 2, 2008.
Mark is in the game as The Chairman's Nephew - the animated version.
Soundtracks
The Crying Freeman CD soundtrack is sold out as far as I know,
but sometimes, copies are for sale on Ebay.
Only the Strong - a direct link to the
CD on Amazon US
Le Pacte des Loups - so far only available in France.
Here's a direct link to the
CD
on French Amazon.
Cradle 2 the Grave soundtrack comes in two versions - a clean and an explicit version.
Amazon link to Both of them
"The Crow:Stairway to Heaven" soundtrack was privately made and given out to cast and crew of
the series only, so one would be VERY lucky to ever find one of those CDs.
Drive: Though Mark himself sang in the movie, no soundtrack was ever released.
Books
Martial arts Talk, by Mark V. Wiley Paperback, 286 pages, published
by Tuttle Publishing, 2000, ISBN 0-8048-3182-3
"Conversations with Leading Authorities on the Martial Arts" - there's a 12-page long talk
with Mark, titled "A Career in Martial Arts Film and Television."
Another familiar name in the book is James Lew who has worked with Mark on several occasions.
Crying Freeman - Du Manga au Film (Tournage du film) by David Martinez
(Making of Crying Freeman) 112 pages, published by Granat, mars 1996,
ISBN 2-7234-2213-5. Price around 95 FR.
Worth it for the pictures alone, imho. With more than 160 photos - not all
featuring Mark of course, but some of the Mark pics definitely not seen elsewhere. I love
the group shot of the complete film unit. It's easy to recognize
Mark - he's the one without a shirt ;-)
Preface by Oscar winner Roger Avary.
Chapters : Introduction, Les Origines, Le Film, La Production, Le Réalisateur,
Fiche Technique.
Crying Freeman, the novel, by George C. Chesbro.
Trade paperback, 174 pages, published by Rivages, March 1996, ISBN 2-7436-0046-2. Price around 89 FR.
Yes, Chesbro is an american, and no, the book is not available in English so far, but if
you write his publishers APB (Apache Beach
Publications) - who knows ? Currently, the rights to the book are owned by the
movie studio, so perhaps we should write Metropolitan FilmExport too.
Le Pacte des Loups, the novel, by Pierre Pelot. Paperback, 382 pages, published
by Rivages, January 2001, ISBN 2-7436-0707-6
So far, it's available only in French and German, but hopefully there will be an English
edition too. The novel is by Pierre Pelot, another well-known mystery writer.
Now I just dream of a "Making of" book - but probably all the energy went into all the bonus
material on the collector's edition DVD.
