1 comments about Pearl Harbor/The Rock.

1. When I bought this two-pack, I hadn't seen Pearl Harbor, but my friends said it was good so I figured it was worth the price. I was wrong. Pearl Harbor is an awful movie; bad acting, bad directing, bad writing, bad action sequences, everything about it was just bad. With The Rock, it's the exact opposite; good acting, good directing, good writing, good action sequences, everything about it was good. I have no complaints about The Rock. It's a fabulous movie. Pearl Harbor: *1/2 The Rock: ***1/2

2 comments about Bruce Lee Double Feature Fist of Fury/ Chinese Connection.

1. By the time you get to the end of "Fists of Fury" you will want to hurl your remote through the TV... not because of the terrible VO (which it is) and not because of the bad 70's clothing... but because the video transfer on this is so bad that by the end of the movie you will be checking your DVD player for a "Tracking" button. Large scratches across the film, dirt, and huge white lines that will remind you of the rabbit ears on an old TV going out of whack.
   
   The movies themselves, well you either love old Kung Fu films or you dont... but if you love them, do yourself a favor and get a better copy than what is available on these DVDs.



2. These movies are both great classics. The film transfer isn't great but what do you expect from movies recorded in China circa 1975? A must have for any bruce lee fan.

2 comments about Alien Invasion 4 Movie Pack.

1. The Alien Invasion DVD includes the following four fifties science fiction films.
   
   Unknown World (1951)
   
   The Day the Sky Exploded (1958)
   
   Phantom from Space (1953)
   
   Crash of Moons (1953)
   
   None are great but taken as a whole the set makes a bargain package of low budget 50's science fiction. Quality of all the films is fair and as an extra ; chapters of a Flash Gordon serial are included as well. (There is a link from imdb linking the British Sci-Fi film Thin Air to this package. It is not on it.)



2. Besides the vintage b&w sci-fi movies on BCI's ALIEN INVASION 4 Movie Pack, also included are chapters 5-8 of a Flash Gordon serial (the first 4 installments may be found on the BEYOND THE STARS 4 Movie Pack).
   
   CONTENTS:
   
   CRASH OF THE MOONS-- Formerly a 3-part episode of "Rocky Jones, Space Ranger," a rather dated kiddie TV show. Look for "Hogan's Heroes' John Banner (Sgt. Schultz) in support.
   
   THE DAY THE SKY EXPLODED-- Low budget Euro sci-fier about a meteor swarm on a collision course with Earth. The US and USSR combine nuclear strength to battle this threat to the planet's survival.
   
   PHANTOM FROM SPACE-- An alien lands in Santa Monica, kills two men who attack him, then removes his spacesuit while being pursued by authorities, thus rendering him invisible. Directed by Billy Wilder's brother.
   
   UNKNOWN WORLD-- A scientific expedition tunnels deep beneath Earth's surface to search out a safe haven in case of nuclear holocaust. The film's star, Victor Kilian, received no screen credit as he was put on the McCarthy era "Hollywood Blacklist" by the time of this picture's release.
   
   
   BRENTWOOD's 4-fers are nicely priced movie bundles. Video and sound quality of these digitally unrestored public domain films is generally fine. Discs are dual-side recorded.

1. Bruce Lee's Fighting Method
   Performances by Ted Wong and Richard Bustillo
   
   This is a video adaptation of Bruce Lee's Fighting Method Volume 2 - Basic Training and Volume 1 - Self Defense Techniques. Volume 2's warm up exercise content makes it logical to reverse the order of demonstration on video just as if you were attending a martial art class. The first 33 minutes of the video demonstrate the Basic Training exercises and moves in volume 2. The remainder of the video is the demonstration of moves to defend and counter against attacks as Bruce Lee demonstrated in the Self Defense volume 1. The Video is 52 minutes long.
   
   There was an effort to keep the video consistent with the text of the books by Bruce Lee and M. Uyehara as evidenced by the narration in the video coming directly from the books them selves. Ted Wong and Richard Bustillo never speak in the video but perform the all the moves in good form well worth watching. The narration was done by Earl Binford. Ted Wong was one of the original students of Bruce Lee. You can see him in the book photos demonstrating the moves of the assailant opposite to Bruce Lee.
   
   Basic Training demonstrates warm up exercises, fighting stance position and postior, guard positioning of the hands, foot work, power and speed training methods and kicking exercises.
   
   Self Defense demonstrates 3 defense counter moves to surprise attacks, 6 counters to an unarmed assailant, 9 counters to being grabbed by an assailant, 9 counter moves against choke holds and hugs by an assailant, and 7 counter moves against armed assailants wielding against a club, a staff, a knife and a pistol, and 5 counters to an assailant while being caught in a vulnerable situations.
