This is a set bought really for the great value it brings - in my local DVD shop, House of Flying Daggers alone cost more than this combination. This makes no sense to me, so, ievitably, I bought this one. However, aside from being fo the same genre- Martial arts - these DVDs have nothing at all in common and so I was a little disappointed that they couldn't come up with a better combination.

I have rated this product good because of the incredible film that is House of Flying Daggers. eautiful scenery, artistry, acting, music and stunts make it extremely entertaining and indescribably memorable. Best watch on a very large TV screen with surround sound - you'll feel like you are in that bamboo forest.

However, (you all know what I'm going to say) - though a reasonably good and entertaining film, it is quite clear that it is nowhere near the quality or memorability of House of Flying Daggers. The stunts are less well choreographed, and the general standard of the film is brought much lower. It is more of comedy-action film and the American acting drags down the standard of this set somewhat.

Still, on its own Bulletproof Monk isn't a below average film and it is definitely watchable. The value for money of this set is what sets the standard more than anything... bargain!

I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD features. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, which can be done by accessing "edit review" above the review and changing the drop down menu under the "Which format are you reviewing?" question at the bottom, please let me know and I'll re-rate.
