Kickin' It Shaolin Style - 12 Movie Set: Fists From Shaolin - Shaolin Brothers - The Cavalier - Shaolin Kung Fu + 8 more!

A good buy for old school kung fu fans (includes info on the movies in the set)
This 3 disc compilation is from Mill Creek. The movies are in dubbed English; i didn't find any alternate audio or subtitles. The quality is what you would expect from a Mill Creek package; the films are not restored or remastered. Most are watchable as far as image. Some are full screen cropped (but not too badly in most cases) and some appear to be widescreen transfers. The widescreen movies are slightly better image quality overall. These are older movies mostly from the late seventies and early eighties so don't expect anything more than that. None of these are rare finds but there is some good action in most of them. Story and action quality ranges from occasionally silly (Dynamite Shaolin Heroes directed by Godfrey Ho (aka Tomas Tang or Walter Lee in the credits here) to not bad (Fist From Shaolin, a poor man's OUATIC).Overall this is a good value for the money at under $10. YMMV. I don't think any of these are in the larger Mill Creek 50 movie set of martial arts movies although some might be listed under alternate titles in the set. I give the collection 4 stars for cheap, fun entertainment but only for collectors and fans of the genre and era.The titles included are as follows:Dynamite Shaolin Heroes (1977) FullscreenShaolin Invincible Guys (1978) FullscreenThe Cavalier (1978) Fullscreen18 Shaolin Riders (1980)Stranger from Shaolin(1981) WidescreenShaolin Kung Fu (1974) WidescreenFist From Shaolin (1993) FullscreenShaolin Brothers (1977) FullscreenRebel Of Shaolin (1977) FullscreenShaolin Death Squad (1977) WidescreenShaolin Super Dragon (1982) FullscreenThe Magnificent (1979) Fullscreen

With Lo Lieh, Carter Wong and Chen Sing You Can't Go Wrong.
Of the 4 movie compilations that mill creek entertainment released, Flying Fists Of Kungfu and Kickin It Shaolin Style are the best 2. On the KISS compilation, of the 12 movies, the only 2 bad ones are 18 Shoalin Riders( which looked like some scenes were cut) and Shoalin Brothers imo. I guess you can complain when your getting 12 movies for such a cheap price. Don't expect anything special like trailers because you won't get them. All the movies are vhs quality in both picture and sound but it doesn't matter because the movies are action packed . And when it comes to these types of movies, that's all that counts.

This collection is pretty cool
If you are a fan of the old school Kung fu movies, this is a good collection of films. I received the dvd within two days. Talk about fast service. The quality of some of the films was , I’ll say, fair given the condition of the original prints. But all that aside, it’s not boring. Twelve films for this low price is what attracted me to this dvd collection(I also have Flying Fists Of Kung Fu and. Way of the Five Finger Death Strike, which I also enjoy).

Disc 3
There are 3 disc's in this set ... disc 1 and 2 has very older version movie's that I had seen , but I thought the picture quality would be better in this set ... but it was not ...the picture quality on disc 1 and 2 is not very good , very bad in fact, if that's a concern for you ? Disc 3 is not bad , the movie's are good with better kungfu action and much better picture quality ..more enjoyable to watch ..

Chop and sock goodness.
IAt this later date i was very happy to find a new copy of this in the UK delivered for a 5 spot.There is a really good review of this already on Amazon.Cheesey golden age Foo flicks - while not all the films are great I still have to rate this a 5/5 as I love the era and really i'm thankful to own these films.One I thing that surpried me, but was cool - is that the films are on three one sided discs.(I was expecting double sided discs.)They come in a standard sized case, so nice and compact as well.If you enjoy this period - the golden age! - and you can find this set for the right money do dive in!Thanks peeps.

Worth having until something better comes along
A ratty tatty, collection of movies. Quality ranges from passable to unwatchable. Different ratios. Worth having until something better comes along. But that may never happen.
