There are tons and tons of bootlegs of Chinese movies on DVD, I would recommend to say away from the mainland DVDs though. I've had bad experiences with them.
I've seen some on ebay but they are kind off pricey if you ask me and I would just get the real thing instead. The bootlegs I have are all NTSC, unmarked (well they usually have logo of the official company that released the movie) always DVD-5, sometimes they remove the DTS sound and/or extras to clear up room when they downsample. I've had some playback issues as well as audio-synch problems but most work perfectly. There are probably a ton of bootleg companies out there though.
For Japanese or Korean movies whether or not they're will be a HK bootleg of it will probably depend if there was an official HK release of it or not.
Downloading is a good option though, you can find enough asian movies out there.
Infernal Affairs I: Great movie
Infernal Affairs II: Surprisingly good especially considering alot of the cast had minor or weren't in the 1st movie
Infernal Affairs III: This one just sucked. Didnt like it at all.
