Product Description

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Named "Best Picture of the Year" by over 100 critics nationwide! Two master warriors (Chow Yun Fat and Michelle Yeoh) are faced with their greatest challenge when the treasured Green Destiny sword is stolen. A young aristocrat (Zhang Ziyi) prepares for an arranged marriage, but soon reveals her superior fighting talents and her deeply romantic past. As each warrior battles for justice, they come face to face with their worst enemy - and the inescapable, enduring power of love. Set against 19th-century China's breathtaking landscape, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is the action-packed, box office smash from acclaimed director Ang Lee (Sense and Sensibility, The Ice Storm) featuring stunning martial arts choreography by Yuen Wo Ping (The Matrix).

Curse of the Golden Flower
From the director of Hero and House of Flying Daggers comes the martial arts epic masterpiece whose savage beauty and exquisite elegance has mesmerized and captivated audiences around the world. Set in the lavish and breathtakingly colorful world hidden from the eyes of mere mortals behind the walls of the Forbidden City, a tale of a royal family divided against itself builds to a mythic climax as lines are crossed, trust is betrayed, and family blood is spilled in the quest for redemption and revenge. Starring Chow Yun Fat of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon as the embattled Emperor and Gong Li of Memoirs of a Geisha as his poisoned Empress, Curse of the Golden Flower grants you entry into a dazzling and spectacular world of betrayal, vengeance and passion that will change the way you think of martial arts forever.

House of Flying Daggers
"Prepare your eyes for popping," in this "martial-arts fireball that throws in a lyrical love story, head spinning fights and dazzling surprises" (Rolling Stone). "A gorgeous entertainment" (A.O. Scott, New York Times). Mei is an exotic, beautiful blind dancer, associated with a dangerous revolutionary gang, known as the House of Flying Daggers. Captured by officers of the decadent Tang Dynasty, Mei finds herself both threatened - and attracted - to the most unusual circumstances. Here, her heart and loyalties battle each other, amid warriors in the treetops and dazzling combat - the likes of which have never before been seen!

3.0 out of 5 stars good movies, questionable bundle, July 14, 2009

By	pither (Iowa City, Iowa USA) - See all my reviews

I own all three of these titles, including Curse on BluRay. I like all three, though Flying Daggers a bit less than the other two. I'm not keen on a bundle-only option, but both Curse and Flying Daggers are available (from Amazon) on BluRay (both for about 1/3 the price of the bundle. Crouching Tiger still isn't out on BluRay, so I can see some irritation if you only want that movie. That said, the bundle is a good deal if you liked Crouching Tiger and might like other movies in the same genre. My concern is whether the BR of Flying Daggers or (when it comes out) Crouching Tiger has more special features than the regular DVDs did. The special features on the Curse BR are pretty thin.

2.0 out of 5 stars Unnecessary or Overpriced, July 15, 2009

By	Jacob A. Del Rio - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the only way to buy Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon on Blu-Ray in the U.S. The two other movies have been on Blu-Ray for over a year. Anyone interested in these movies probably already has those two. This set could be acceptable at half the price, or if Curse of the Golden Flower or House of Flying Daggers were new special edition releases. But at this price point, we're paying full price for these older discs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Asian Epics. Good box set for people who didn't already buy the other films., August 12, 2009

By	asian4life "Art" (Pittsburgh, PA USA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

These are three of my favorite Asian epic films; with other favorites being "Musa The Warrior", "The Legend of Suriyothai", "Painted Skin", "Hero", "The Emperor and the Assassin" and "The Banquet". Many people are upset about having to buy this set in order to get the blu-ray for "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon". I previously bought "Curse of the Golden Flower" and "House of Flying Daggers" on blu-ray as well. Once I heard about this three pack blu-ray set, I traded them in towards something else. I ordered this set from Amazon and received great service and fast shipping. "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" looks fabulous on blu-ray as does "Curse of the Golden Flower". The mpeg2 encoded, 25gb "House of Flying Daggers" disc is a mixed bag visually. But overall, the box set is worth it. Can't wait until "Hero" comes on blu-ray on September 15th. But which version of "Iron Monkey" will be released on blu-ray September 15th, original or edited version. Here are some of my other foreign film blu-ray recommendations: "Re-cycle", "The Host", "Kung Fu Hustle", "In The Realm Of The Senses", "CJ7", "Let The Right One In", "District B-13", "Ghost In The Shell 2: Innocence", "Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children", "Dragon Tiger Gate", "Invisible Target", "20th Century Boys", "The Storm Riders", "Death Trance", "Old Boy", "Chocolate" and "Fearless". Hopefully "Ong Bak 2" will be released on blu-ray this fall.
