I bought this because I want Big Guns with English dub. The quality of the picture (Big Guns) is not as excellent as the one released by Fox Pathé Europe, but for 5-in-1 DVD at this price, I know I should not complain. The picture quality is not the same for all 5 movies: Big Guns and Emergency Squad have good picture quality, while the other 3 are copied from VHS (I can even see some white vertical lines across the screen). Sound for Violent Professionals is the worst, and I cannot hear the dialogues very well. I must add, though, that English is not my first language. I will give 5 stars for Big Guns alone, but I must reduce 1 star because there are no English subtitles for hard-of-hearing. Maybe if the subtitles were available, I could understand Violent Professionals's dialogues. However, again, for such price, I think I am not entitled to ask for subtitles. In all 5 movies, there are nice car chase scenes, which were really done by stuntmen, unlike nowadays where CGI does most of them and the result is very fast chases which cannot be seen and enjoyed.

The title movie, BIG GUNS, is a very good print for such a cheap-priced collection. It has a good car chase, some blood, and a stupid ending. Richard Conte is briefly even in it, with a GODFATHER type wedding---though the dumb director keeps on cuting away from Conte while he delivers his lines!

VIOLENT PROFESSIONALS also has a Richard Conte cameo---and two DIRTY HARRY type murders in the first 10 minutes. It also has goofy direction; Jess Franco zooms and Sergeo Leonne tight close-ups of faces.

DVD was in new condition, arrived promptly, well packed, what can I say? what's to complain. I would highly recommend this vendor based on my experience.
