Jackie Chan Action 4 Pack - I got this at Big Lots and it includes Cub Tiger of Kwang Tung, Heroine, Fantasy Mission Force, and Young Tiger.

I keep finding a 3 pack (doesn't have Cub Tiger...) with a similar cover online. I've only spotted an eBay seller with the 4 film version.

How's the quality of "Fantasy Mission Force?" I've been looking for a good quality transfer of that movie for years, but all of the ones I've tried have been about the same - they look like a bad VHS transfer.

Bad news: it looks terrible. I had a glimmer of hope that it would be decent 'cause BCI/Eclipse has released some DVDs of good quality, and on the back it said it was widescreen 1:78:1. I guess it's widescreen, but, uh, take a look:

The rest of the films in the set don't fare much better.

Heck, consider it part of the film's charm. FMF just wouldn't feel right to me if it didn't look like an nth generation VHS dub.

Last night I purchased:

It looks great! It is on VHS unfortunately, but I got it for about $2.00 at a local thrift store so it's no big deal.
