No idea. I'd like to know too. But here is a photo of the box art.

woah first i heard about this. 25 films for $10.49?

[UNDERSTAR]

I preorder it. Not expecting much on the quality(I hope I'm wrong here), but the cheapness of the price for 25 movies and I'm a huge fan of old school martial art movies, (still collecting them on VHS), why the hell not.

interesting...........

Probably the films in SD on 1-2 discs.

Having seen about 50 or 60 of the Shaw Brothers HD re-masters, I've done a complete 180 on that sentiment (which I used to believe, just like you).

I'm shocked at how much more enjoyment I get out of old school martial arts pictures when they've been restored. Yeah, it's easier to see the cheap sets and the bad wigs, but it really makes a big difference all around - for the better.

i see your point. i guess when i watch them now growing up watching black belt theater every week with the bad prints and poor dubbing the nostalgia creeps in. either way i think i will enjoy this collection. i wish we knew what movies will be included.

Oh man, I just picked this up. Definitely the worst quality blu-ray that I have EVER seen. But I watched the first movie on the disc and thought it was awesome.

Does anyone know if these movies are also out on DVD? Separately I mean; not in a collection? And is the quality on those DVDs better than this horrible blu-ray release?

It's not even high definition. Despite being advertised on the case, "DIGITALLY REMASTERED 1920x1080". Sure, if that means; "NO MASTERING 720x480!"

[FoulMouff]

Over the years I picked up many of these "bootleg" Kung Fu flicks, oh boy were they horrible. VHS transfers. When I was young, and dumb, I didn't care.

I stay far away from garbage like this, no matter how much I love Kung fu flicks, i'd rather have GOOD quality DVDs or Blurays of them, rather than shitty VHS transfers. Rather pay extra to get imports than support bootleg companies lol

[Daaark]

Could anyone even expect someone to remaster 23 movies and be able to even come close to breaking even at 12.99?

[Bringer Of Funerals]

I want this

[Buscemi]

The strange thing is that this wasn't released by a bootleg company but by Millennium, a notable indie label that's also produced a lot of films (such as the Expendables movies).

[Deckard757]

I'm satisified

If you were honestly expecting some kind of great (or even good) picture/audio quality from a $10 set of 23 low budget, 1970's kung fu movies crammed onto a single disc...then you have only yourself to blame.
