     "The Bandits are attacking!" 2009-12-03
    By G. Mahar (Boston, MA)
    Of course there's alot of kicking ass but I hadn't realized the depth of plots in Kung Fu movies i.e duty bound honor;over-coming adversity;family loyalty and gorgeous Asian girls who speak in a beautiful(dubbed) Australian accent.Though there are two disks with colored's which should have been left out. I recommend this Kung-Fu collection for its action and strong, in-depth stories.

     "Well worth the money you will spend." 2009-11-07
    By Brian (Chicago, IL)
    First thing i'd like to point out is that the listing that amazon shows for this (as far as the movies go) is incorrect. The listing as amazon puts it is the same as the original release (which is NOT to be confused with the new version, of which the picture is shown) with the exception of "TNT jackson". Instead of "TNT jackson" you get Fist of Fear, Touch of death.






    Now since amazon is listing the picture for the re-release of this box set, im going to assume that's the version they are selling. It should be noted that along with "TNT jackson", you get four other movies which are:





    Breakout from oppression


    Day of the Panther


    Jive Turkey


    The Guy from harlem





    the movies they replace are the aformentioned "Fist of fear, touch of death" along with





    Death Machines



    Death of a ninja


    Sister Street Fighter


    Ten Fingers of death (which to Morgoth, is the Jackie chan movie Master with cracked fingers under an alternate title)





    Also the movie with chow yun fat in it is entitled "the Head hunter".





    The easiest way to tell the difference is that the original (and it should be noted BETTER) version has a non-descript guy on the cover as opposed to bruce lee.





    Now that thats out of the way, I can get on to the other thing i wanted to mention.





    I'd like to thank morgoth for pointing out Shadow Ninja. I have had this movie pack since at least the time when it first came out, and never bothered to check out that movie until i read his review of this pack last night. When I got home i popped the movie in and was thoroughly entertained. So thank you.






    Now on to the actual reivew of the pack itself....





    due to the fact that i have seen little if any of the movies featured all the way through, i shall end this review by giving a list of the more noteworthy movies to look out for on this pack.





    The aformentioned Shadow Ninja (which should definitly be the first movie to watch as soon as you get this.)


    Tiger Love


    Kung Fu arts


    Chase Step by Step


    Deadly Duo AKA Two Great Cavaliers (which is not to be confused with the Ti Lung epic of the same name)



    Fighting Mad


    The Master: Max and out of time step (which are actually episodes of a tv series)


    The heroes of Shaolin 1 and 2


    The impossible kid (a martial arts movie featuring A MIDGET! has to be seen to be believed!)


    The street fighter, Return of the street fighter (a duo of great movies featuring samurai master sonny chiba)


    Ten fingers of death AKA Master with cracked fingers (possibly jackie chan's first starring role and a great movie)


    Snake Fist Dynamo (mentioning it only to say look for the brooklyn zu version called dragon snake fist thats uncut)





    if i've missed any it would be because i haven't actually seen them and therefore do not know they are good.

     "Just like Kung Fu Theatre on USA" 2009-10-12
    By Henry T Blewer III (Binghamton NY)
    There are some gems in this collection. If you like the fun kung fu movies also, you'll want to buy this. This collection is worth the investment.

     "Poor-quality transfers of bad movies" 2009-09-21
    By AZ
    I had high hopes for this based on the cover art and other reviews. I was extremely disappointed when I watched the movies. First, the video quality is terrible. The movies are cropped so that you only see the middle of the screen, but they didn't go to the trouble to pan the view so that you see the action, so lots of action happens off screen. Also, some of the movies are dark, hard to see, grainy, and just generally poor quality. I guess you get what you pay for in some respects. I recently bought the Kung-Fu Theater Collection (10 movies) and have been MUCH happier with those. The video quality is significantly higher in that collection than this one.

     "The movie list is confusing" 2009-04-17
    By Grant Harding (New York, NY United States)
    Disc 7, Side A, first movie: Jive Turkey. What the heck? The movies I got on this set are different from what is in the description and what other reviewers listed. I don't really know how this works. But who cares, right, I bought this just to have a ton of Kung Fu movies. Mission accomplished.

  • Martial Arts Review - Complete Krav Maga by Darren Levine and John Whitman

    I just finished reading "Complete Krav Maga" by Darren Levine and John Whitman for the second time in as many weeks, and I must say that it is very well done book on the basic techniques needed to be among the ranks of Krav Maga previously yellow belt all the way up to brown belt. That said, however, notes that the author so tight, that says: "Krav Maga is a martial art, is a form of self-defense."

    I have only onelittle complaint with this book, and this is in some ways is not unlike the vast majority are books that teach, and try too many things in a band and not miss enough time for each technique. This small detractors is the huge amount of good, solid information that has not, which emphasized the importance of the principles as more important than the technology itself is largely overshadowed by perhaps the deepest.

    Authorsare some good basic information about the execution of the techniques provided, although not detailed as they should make in the context of what the author has tried to readers is understandable. However, it should be noted that this book is to be used for the reader to learn and to guide the development of self-defensive skills that they will be able to use a state of self-defense, not a specific number of techniques set in stone order toNext rank.

    Even if I, most of the material has fallen into this book, I personally liked the sections dealing with different skills and ground fighting defense against various weapons. Another important section of this book was the various examples that have been presented in training.

    Now I do not know if some people here, or not offend, but my personal opinion is to take Krav Maga similar to Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do, asborrows techniques from these diverse systems are more effective, and, with a central "core" style and then add a series of excellent principles be an effective means of self-created.

    This is a very useful book for purchase, if you learn how to protect against a variety of attacks with interest. However, as I said, if you really learn how to perform each technique properly, you need to do some shoppingmore books.
