### ABOUT THE 4 FILM FAVORITES SERIES ###

Warner Brothers/New Line's "4 Film Favorites" is a line of two-disc sets consisting of four films that are part of a series/franchise or center around a common theme. Each disc is dual-sided, with the contents of each side being a bit-for-bit copy (a "disc image") of a previous DVD release. Usually the very first DVD release of a film is used as the master for each side, which could be either single-layer or dual-layer. If the DVD master that is used first came out at the infancy of DVD production (the late 1990s), there may be little to no extras, and even a poor film transfer when compared to a later re-release. Also, if that original release was a two-disc set, or a dual-sided disc (see: Lethal Weapon 4), only Disc 1 or Side A will be used. The "4 Film Favorites" line is priced with the budget-conscience consumer in mind, with Target having the lowest price at 9.99 each (occasionally on sale for 8.99). Other stores will inevitably be priced higher, though I don't recommend paying more than ten dollars for each two-disc set.

This DVD is a great way to get caught up on all the "Rush Hour" movies, the last movie "Money Talks" was a nice bonus for me. Value, is what this DVD is, a low price on a great collection.I hope the will continue to put movie collections in a pkg like this.

I enjoyed this product very much. The quality of the picture was excellent. It was like I purchased this product from a video store brand new. The packaging was in excellent condition. My experience with amazon.com will continue as a great one.

It was a really good buy, believe me, the movies were not scratched and the case was in good condition and I'm pretty picky so trust me it's good, if your second guessing this don't

I had surgery and get out of bed for 2 weeks. These movies kept me company and kept me laughing. I lobe Chris Tucker and all the movies he played in. Thanks a lot.

The films arrived on time and in perfect condition. I could not have been happier with the transaction. The best part was that I got so much for what I paid.

good, but 4th movie (Money talks) PAUSES and skips.. like it is scratched but its not scratched/dirty. its new. :(

Jackie Chan is one of my favorite actors, mainly because his fighting skills are so ridiculous and he does such a great job making it humorous as well! I wanted all three Rush hours and I got exactly that, plus a bonus movie! Awesome!

I know the "buddy cop" film has been done to death but Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker breathe new life into it with this series. I have to admit that they lose steam by the 3rd go-around but still some very funny moments in that film. Of course, you cannot go wrong with the 1st installment and in the 2nd you have to love the cameo by Don Cheadle. Great stuff

I enjoyed Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker as a team
They were simply outstanding in a crime type drama , plus comedy.
