The Best Kung Fu Movies - Blu-Ray Collection(Japanese DaAngonstini Magazine Series)

[DragonClaws]

 

Has anyone picked up any of these releases?, if so what are thoughts on the picture & sound quality etc?.

I have several of these. The magazines are nice if you can read Japanese. But, there’s a decent percentage of photos included. As far as the actual blu-rays included, PQ will very. Some are upscales and others true HD. Depends on whom supplied the master. There’s no English subs; at least not on the ones that I own. Probably nonexistent for any of these releases but I cannot confirm 100% since I don’t own them all. 

I have pictures somewhere of these and if I don’t forget, will return and post them. I do have some pics already on blu-ray.com under the International/Asia thread if you want to search. I’m not able to upload right now but will try tomorrow if I can.

Thankyou @reason108, nice to hear feedback from someone who's actually owned a few copies. The DeAgostini group are very big, they have released a lt of magazines in the U.K over the years. Covering all kinds of subjects/interests, but I'd never seen their Kung Fu movie collection before.

Here is the thread that was created that will provide some valuable info on the series:

Knockabout is an upscale, Iron Fisted Monk and Warriors Two are true hd…. well they're not breathtaking print but it's an upgrade over the dvds.

Are these still available anywhere? Warriors 2 is my all time favorite kung fu film.
