Taken from an amazon.com review:
Advertised as a collection of 25 films on one Blu-ray disc, this is actually a 23 feature film collection with two lengthy extras. As you might expect, the image quality is of the lossy MPEG-2 variety (think YouTube with loads of artifacting evident,) however, the majority of the films are presented in a sort of cropped widescreen that does present more than what you normally see in pan and scan. Sound quality is generally good, all but one of the features are dubbed (see notation.) Recommended as a good starter package for viewers interested in Hong Kong and Taiwanese action cinema.
1.) HELL’S WIND STAFF (aka DRAGON AND THE TIGER KIDS 1979) w/ Hwang Jang Lee, choreography: Hsu Hsia, Corey Yuen, Chin Yuet-sang, Yuen Shon-yee. Widescreen/Cantonese.
2.) INCREDIBLE SHAOLIN THUNDERKICK (1982) d. Godfrey Ho, w/ Eagle Han. Widescreen.
3.) IRON FISTS (aka SHAOLIN KING BOXER 1979) Best cast in the collection and the worst picture quality. d. Karl Maka, w/ Chen Kuan-Tai, Meng Fei, Wilson Tong, Lau Kar Wing. Pan and Scan.
4.) SUN DRAGON (aka A HARD WAY TO DIE 1980) Shot in Arizona! d. Wa Yat-wang, w/ Billy Chong, Carl Scott. Pan and Scan.
5.) ONE ARMED SWORDSMAN VS. NINE KILLERS – Actually a One-Armed Boxer film starring Jimmy Wang Yu, Chen Kuan Tai, and Lo Lieh. Pan and Scan.
6.) 18 FATAL STRIKES (1978) d. Joe Cheung, Choreography: Tung Wai, Yuen Jen. Widescreen.
7.) 18 SWIRLING RIDERS (aka 18 SHAOLIN RIDERS 1980) w/ Lo Lieh. Pan and Scan.
8.) 18 JADE ARHATS (1979) w/ Lo Lieh. Pan and Scan.
9.) 72 DESPERATE REBELS (1978) w/ Chen Sing. Pan and Scan.
