Could not agree more but since I have a HUGE DVD collection of martial arts movies I am scared of the day they are moved up to BD

going to be expensive for me

Well, Kickboxer is coming out in a couple months, but I do agree, I'd love to have quite a few of those titles you listed.

heck yeah because all those movies had horrible dvd transfers and bluray versions would undoubtedly blow them away.

i'm still wondering why the perfect weapon never saw a u.s. dvd release. it's awesome.

Movies containing lightsabers, wookies, and Mark Hamill are under-represented on Blu as well.

The "Wish List" forum is under-utilized.

I would love to see some of the big "Box Sets" of Martial arts movies to make it to Blu-ray...... I would be concerned about the quality of the transfer, since most are low budget to begin with

yeah i watched my bruce lee dvd set on my ps3...

they have some funky aspect ratio. there are bars on the top AND bottom.

yeah... The legendary pioneer of all martial arts films, Bruce Lee would be first and foremost. Followed by Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and early Steven Seagal (Above the Law to Under Seige) as my most wished list.
