Adventure For Imperial Treasures- Many imperial treasures were stolen in the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, and an investigation to recover these treasures has been underway ever since. This mission fell into the hands of Prince Feng Ko in the late Qing. He traced Li Lin, a suspect, to his secret cave in Mt. Chilien, where he was hiding from the officials. Li Lin escaped from Feng Ko's search and got away with the treasure map. Feng's troops caught up and killed both Li and his wife. Li's daughter was saved by a kung fu man, and his son was saved by a beggar. Li's son, Hsiao Ching, was taught kung fu by a monk with unmatchable skills. Hsiao Ching learned from the monk and was ready to avenge his parents' deaths. While Hsiao Ching was out for searching Prince Feng, Feng came and wounded the monk. Hsiao Ching came back with Yun Lan, a girl he met while searching for Feng. After fierce fighting, Hsiao Ching finally kills Feng - and the monk, in his last breath, gives Hsiao Ching some surprising information! Fatal Flying Guillotines- During the Ching Dynasty, cruelty and greed oppressed the people. Prince Yun Ching, seeking to shore up his rule, has tried to make alliance with old master Wu. But, this great martial arts fighter who perfected -The Flying Guillotines- is reluctant to ally himself with such an evil man. Meanwhile, the monks of Shaolin Temple and a young fighter called Sun are looking for a sacred book stolen by the Prince. These terrible forces meet in a stunning battle during which Sun makes a shattering discovery. For him, the struggle has just begun. Instant Kung Fu Man- A mischievous Shaolin disciple, Hsia Hu, uses trickery to graduate from the rigorous monastery without completing his martial training. His mentors, well aware, send the monk Hui Kang to keep an eye on him. Once outside, Hsia Hu soon discovers that people, mistaking him as his twin brother Hsiao Fu, a hardened criminal and Kung-Fu expert, treat him with both fear and respect. He, being too lazy to learn Kung-Fu, begins to relish his Instant Kung Fu Man image and impersonates his brother at every chance. Amusing events take a sinister turn, however, when Yi Lan, Hsia Hu's former accomplice and now sworn enemy, returns to settle a score with Hsia Hu. A duel between Hsia Hu and yi Lan becomes inevitable, at which point, Hsia Hu must decide whether he can afford his new identity or not. His decision leads to an entertaining and unexpectable outcome.

Absolute Trash!
Do not waste your money on this one!I've seen hundreds of Kung Fu movies from the seventies to the present and these are three of worst! The story line, the acting (which are, I know, as a rule not that great anyway), the cinematography and especially the action are all pitifull at best. As for the humor segments, what's with the grown men pee-ing their pants? For that matter, does anyone find people with diahrea all that amusing? Carter Wong has been in ONE good movie (Big trouble in little China)but what was John liu ( usually a great action star) doing in this puke-fest? I only give this one star because I have to....HORRIBLE!

Fun Stuff
Seller was prompt. Material arrived when predicted. Material was in excellent shape as advertised. Material was as adveristed, good olde kung-fu movies. I am not a movie expert, except in what I like. I just enjoy kung-fu movies as a great mental break from humdrum. I especially enjoy these period pieces. Specifically, there was not much effort in copying these movies. You probably have to be real fan of genre to get by lacking quality. I am. These are fun movies.

great movies! unsure of dvd product!
this is a three dvd set of three kung fu movies! Adventure for Imperial Treasure, Fatal Flying Guillotine and Instant Kung Fu Man! Imperial Treasure is actually called something else! I forgot what it was! Anyways, the dvd product is questionable! Everytime the next chapter will come, the movie will freeze for a split second then progress on! That is the only complaint I have with this product! Maybe it's not like that on other DVD players but it is on mine! I have a Samsung! But I still think these movies are worth getting becuz they are some of the best kung fu films I 've ever seen! The freezing thing is really no big deal becuz it's just like 1/4 of a second long! Other than the freezing crap, the dvd's play fine!

Great Classic Kung Fu
This Collection contains three moviesThe first "Adventure for Imperial Treasures" stars Wang Taoas Lee Shou Ching the son of an architect Lee Lin who in turn is the last person still alive with the knowledge of the wheraboutsof a huge treasure. Years earlier Lee Lin escaped death at thehands of an evil master named Feng Kei. Feng Kei and his meneventually find and kill Lee Lin though - which sends Lee ShouChing on a mission of revenge - First learning beggar fist froma helpful beggar then learning secret kung fu techniques from amonk all the while looking for his lost sister and knowing thata showdown with Feng Kei is inevitable. very good 4 star movieIn my opinion.The second movie is "Fatal Flying Guillotines" starring Chen Singand Carter Wong. Chen Sing plays a kung fu expert Wu who hasmastered the Guillotines - he became ill when young and had toabandon his wife and son. He becomes sort of an evil recluse ina vaporous valley - while being courted to work for an evilprince and being hunted down by monks. Carter Wong plays hisson- who was never told his fathers name and goes into actionagainst the old man after being given a false cure for his mother(which results in her death). A solid movie but I did not enjoyas much as the other two. A solid 3-4 star movie in my opinion.Movie 3 is "Instant Kung Fu Man" starring Hwang Jang Lee and John Liu among others. This movie is a tale of two brotherstwins Hsiao Fu(a somewhat evil kung fu master and criminal) andhis bumbling but intelligent brother Hsiao Hu (knows very littlekung fu and is the opposite of his brother) Hsiao Fu sends hisbrother Hsiao Hu to the Shaolin temple to learn kung fu.Hsiao Hu after three years has not learned anything so he tricksthe monks into letting him leave - the monks discover his trickery and send a top monk John Liu to bring him back.Hsiao Hu gets into all kinds of trouble and has to constantlypose as his brother - which in turn gets his brothers enemyplayed by Hwang Jang Lee on his trail and leads to an eventualshowdown. a Very Good 4-5 star movie in my opinion. I especiallyenjoyed the fight scenes which pitted John Liu against HwangJang Lee(two of the best leg fighters in Kung Fu Movie history).Overall a very good three movie set and much better than thevol.2 collection of the same name.
