A great collection of movies. I purchased this along with The Best of Blu-ray, Volume Two (The Last Samurai / The Phantom of the Opera / Unforgiven / The Fugitive) [Blu-ray] as part of a sale in Dec.'07.

Here is some important info that Amazon left out:

- All four movies are in 1080p.
- Lethal Weapon is the only @ 1.85:1 aspect ratio.
- The other 3 movies are 2.4:1.
- All feature Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound.

Each of the blu-ray discs include the original "blu" protective case, complete with insert. All four cases slide into a cardboard cover that resembles the product photo on this page. This is much better than some of the collections I have on DVD where each disc is in a flimsy paper sleeve. I included a few photos (check customer images) of the box/packaging.

Note: The individual cases are not factory shrink-wrapped but they do include the white plastic seal/tape that goes over the top. I imagine this is important to those who had plans on selling or gifting any movies they didn't like from the set. Not that you would do that. :)

I HAVE READ THE REVIEW FROM DVD TALK & BLU RAY REVIEW, THE RATING WERE IN THE MID RANGE, I RECEIVED THE DISCS YESTERDAY & TRIED IT OUT IN MY GIANT 60" LG PLASMA WITH PIONNER BLU RAY, THESE BLU RAY DISCS LOOKED REALLY BETTER THAN I THOUGHT. SWORD FISH IS CRSTAL CLEAR WITH DEEP BASS SOUND (HALLE B.B.BEST)ROAD WARRIOR LOOKS GOOD AS A VERY OLD MID BUDGET MOVIE. TRAINING DAY IS ACCEPTABLE & LETHAH WEAPHON IS THE WEAKEST. BUT CONSIDERING THE LOW PRICE TAG, THIS IS A VERY GOOD PURCHASE.

while you will most certainly see a difference while watching in hi-def the improvement in quality does not justify the price, however, if you are buying because you want these films for your library go for it. i have seen prices higher for standard dvd's.

I loved almost all of the movies here except for Mad Max... not my cup o' tea. The transfers are okay could have been better.
