Kung Fu Hustle / Art of Action - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

While I was at walmart today to pick up Kung Fu hustle, they had a two pack available for 4 dollars more with another DVD on the history and influence of Martial Arts in Cinema called The Art of Action

This extra DVD is about an hour and a half long and is well worth the extra 4 bucks I spent on the pack together.
Hosted by Samuel L Jackson, it goes through the history, major players, and influence of martial arts throughout cinematic history.
This is really quite a good documentary. The only thing I wish they had spent more time on, which they barely covered at all, was women in contemporary Martial Arts movies.
I would highly recommend you get this set if it is available to you.

They didnt have this where I was,
but there was a 2-pack with Jackie Chan's The Medallion. Passed....

Ended up getting the Region 1 although it is slightly censored
from the original HK DVD....

But I knew all the extras would be the thing I wanted to see most.

The Japanese R2 Limited Edition has most of the same extras,
but it's just too damn expensive. About $80 for the set... bah.
