well, perhaps i just totally missed something huge in the movie, but i was under the impression that the needles weren't poisoned, and that he was just sticking the into vital points along the body. but whatever.

 

i was also under the impression that that was just a movie prop, though i could be wrong; i know absolutely nothing about acupuncture. i would imagine an accupuncture supply store, if they exist. otherwise, i suppose it would be easy enough to make on one your own.

I agree with battousai16, it would probably be easier to make one for yourself than to try and find one.

I'm in my 3rd year as an acupuncture student at Tri-State College of Acupuncture in NYC and I would not advise it unless your sensei has some serious training under his/her belt. If you end up doing it PLEASE BE CAREFUL! One reason is the obvious heath reasons, especially physicially. Without the proper supervision it is quite easy to collaps a lung or create other major or life threatening injuries. And the second is that depending on where you live, you may be breaking the law. Certain states require licensure in order to perform acupuncture. The first reason above is a great reason alone for the second.

 

If you want, check out these sites...

http://www.acupuncture.com/ (just a good site on acupuncture in general)

 

Good luck on whatever you do. :)
