Search - Legends of Kung Fu 10 Movie Pack on DVD

LIKE MOST DVD multi-packs, LEGENDS OF KUNG FU offers a mix of quality-- HAVING SAID THAT, THIS ONE IS ABOVE AVERAGE. The best of this bunch features Bruce Li. Even the ghost of Bruce Lee makes "Fist of Fear..." quite good.

Sonny Chiba is featured in three of these, including a war story set in 16th Century Japan. Jackie Chan is the director's for "36 Crazy Fists," a movie in which he's also listed as a "possible extra (uncredited)," yet Chan's name appears prominently on this product's front cover.

LOVE KUNG FU? THIS IS FOR YOU!!

"i own many of these 10 pack movie collections and like them. this set like all of the sets has some good some bad and some that well you get the idea. sorry i don't have a list of the movies handy but if kung fu movies are your bag then these are for you. as always if good transfers are what you want look somewhere else, if not enjoy the action"

Hai Karate!

"Typical of DVD multi-packs, LEGENDS OF KUNG FU offers a mix of quality. The best of this bunch features Bruce Li, while the worst offers archive footage of his namesake. Apparently, even the ghost of Bruce Lee can't save "Fist of Fear..." from the mediocrity bin.



Sonny Chiba is featured in three of these, including a war story set in 16th Century Japan. Jackie Chan takes the director's chair for "36 Crazy Fists," a movie in which he's also listed as a "possible extra (uncredited)," yet Chan's name appears prominently on this product's front cover.



Visual clarity of BRENTWOOD box sets is average. Transfers have a multi-generational dimness to them. Certainly they are well worth the bargain price, however.



For twice the martial arts action, KUNG FU 20 MOVIE PACK is a real kick!
