5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent history lesson, July 2, 2001
By "jackiechanfan24" (New Rochelle, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This could be the best martial arts tape I have ever had the pleasure of purchasing. The scenes contained in this compilation are some of the very best ever caught on film and until just recently, thanks to the popularity of Jackie Chan and Jet Li, had never been seen by a U.S. audience.

This tape basically gives you a history of the martial arts in film. It starts with the granddaddy of them all Bruce Lee in some amazing and rare footage. The tape then goes into detail about the stars of today (today being the lates to mid 80's) and shows a number of clips from their movies.

I highly recommend this tape for any Jackie Chan fan or Martial Laws Sammo Hung. They have clips of these stars in their prime when the could arguably called the biggest action stars in the world. Yes the U.S. rarely opened the doors to these Asian stars who took most of the rest of the world by storm.

Towards the end of the tape it takes you into more of the cult aspects of martial art films. Mostly films with wire work and mystical plots even Ninjas!

If you are unsure of getting that one Jackie Chan tape or that one Jet Li tape, take a look at this one first. You will not be disappointed!

By Dexter A Jones (Hampton Virginia) - See all my reviews
This is mostly a showcase of Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan,Samo Hung and other greats.The fight are some the greatest ever made for the silver screen.If one movie could show in 90 minutes the real meaning of "Martial Arts",this movie is it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Snippets from some of the greatest martial arts films, August 19, 1999
By A Customer
A collection of film clips from some of the best. Great fast paced action excerpts from movies of Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, Samo Hung & other greats. Fun to watch! Dont expect a story. This is good for reference & previews of movies of this genre to add to your collection.
