What can I say other than these are definitley some of the greatest films Sammo Hung has ever made, showcasing the best of his abilities.

This box set contains:

Spooky Encounters
The groundbreaking Hong Kong Martial arts horror comedy that paved the way for other greats like "Mr. Vampire" and "A Chinese Ghost Story".

This I have to say is one of my all-time favorite Sammo films, and it looks even more spectacular now that it's been remastered for this DVD.

The Magnificent Butcher:
I have to admit I'd not seen this film before and it had a lot to live up to after "Spooky"; and let me tell you, this one definitely won't disappoint.

I was totally and utterly gob smacked by this film because it lives up to the high standard expected from an 80's Sammo movie. Oh, by the way, Yuen Biao is in top form in this one.

Knockabout:
This is also another movie I'd not seen before and I have to say that this Yuen Biao and Leung Kar Yan vehicle (Sammo is a co-star in this one) is a jaw-dropper. This film shows Yuen Biao at his best (Sammo as director must have brought this out).

If these movies don't prove how talented Sammo is as a director and actor then nothing will. Each film deserves to have 5 stars, so I officailly rate this box set 15 stars. This box set is a must-have for all fu fans; and if you're not familar with Sammo or only know him for "Martial Law", then this is a must--so that you can be re-educated and introduced to the real Sammo Hung. Enjoy.

P.S. I hope we see "Spooky Encounters 2" on DVD sometime soon.
