"Contrary to the only other review here at this time I knew what I was buying before I got this. I got it at $6.99 and free with gift cards so I can't complain. This is another of Mill Creek's low cost compilation sets, which are made of movies that are in the public domain. You shouldn't expect widescreen, digitally remastered features. This came with a colorful menu and four chapter points for each movie. There are 4 films on a dvd so I presume they use dual layer discs. It comes in a hard dvd case with flip over holders. Many of these movies are not available anywhere on DVD or will be for a time, are at a high cost for the same print, or let alone remastered. This is a good addition to go with the Martial Arts 50 Movie Pack Collection. The set that I got from this day comes with all the following:
# 1. Blood of the Dragon 1973
# 2. Bloodfight 1989
# 3. Bruce Lee Fights Back From The Grave 1978
# 4. Champ Against Champ 1983
# 5. Clones of Bruce Lee 1977
# 6. Crippled Masters 1979
# 7. Deadly Kick 1976
# 8. Dragon Lee vs. The Five Brothers 1978
# 9. Fighting Ace 1979
# 10. Fighting Fists of Shanghai Joe, The 1972
# 11. Fists of Bruce Lee 1978
# 12. Image of Bruce Lee 1978
# 13. Kung Fu - The Invisible Fight 1972
# 14. Kung Fu Fever 1979
# 15. L.A. Street Fighter 1985
# 16. Master, The 1984
# 17. Rage of the Master 1975
# 18. Real Bruce Lee, The 1973
# 19. Screaming Ninja 1973
# 20. Snake Crane Secret 1976
There were two movies that repeated from the 50 pack martial arts I have (not the one with bruce lee on the cover): The Master and The Real Bruce Lee. Quality varies in print, all are probably from a vhs copy but some are more noticeable than others. On a quick scan there was some movies that were good, adequate and one or two pretty blurry and lacking detail. I have only watched one movie so far - Kung Fu the invisible fight - and found it enjoyable. I watched it on my 18" laptop and 22" LCD monitor with HD and filters on software and things and found it acceptable. Might not be acceptable on huge 60"+ screens. When it's on sale I would say its worth it. I'm a entertainment, knowledge, movie freak so I will pretty much watch and read anything. You might be able to get these movies free legally through the internet but this saves all the time and money etc.. Might have a more detailed review maybe later after watching it all."
