Comments:Movies Suxed, But Special Features Were Cool!
The Movies On This DVD are in REALLY bad shape!
Colordistortion, Bad Sound, The Synchronizing of voices from chinese to american is REALLY a joke! Can't believe that those people actually got paid for that!
Chinese subtitles are in bottom off screen, you cannot remove them.
There are NO subtitles available & Audio you can't change either into traditional language and then with english subtitles coz the synchronizing is so bad, that you can hardly follow anything that goes on in the movie.
The Sound Effects are in really poor shape.
Filming is below average too, often the sun shines into the camera lense and when you are watching these movies then at evenings, that is not comfortable to watch.
HOWEVER............
The ''Extra'' stuff on this DVD ( 2 DVD's are included double-written ) are very cool.
On Disk 1 side b they explain the different styles off Kung Fu, and show some masters at it, with different weapons and a nice scenery landscape detail off Asia, that is very cool to watch.
Then there's a dragon festivity or national holiday with dragons on poles, very nice to watch.
And on Disk 2 side b you can follow a training course off martial arts yourself, unfortunately it is in Chinese without audio choice or subtitle and it is not synchronized from chinese into english, so what the guy says is hard to follow if you do not understand chinese unfortunately.
IF the movies were cool & good and all then it would have had a average grade in my opinion.
The only thing that i liked on this DVD were the extra special features, but it is nice to know & see Jet Li in his early work, you hardly recognize him coz off his hairstyle, clothes and all.
If your a martial arts fan, or you wish you had some more knowledge about it, then i suggest rent this DVD.
If you love present day martial arts movies, and you already know alot about it and all, and aren't really a Jet Li fan, you like his work, but he's not your favourite or something, then don't buy, watch or see it on TV, it isn't worth it in my opinion unfortunately.
