Is the four swords box set worth the buy from Image or would I be better off gettting the IVL's? http://www.hkflix.com/xq/asp/filmID.544755/qx/details.htm

What is your basis of comparison? In terms of price you save overall. In terms of video transfer, the IVL is better. I had Have Sword Will Travel and Water Margin and the interlacing is bad(the print is till legible but not up to videophile standards) in those 2. I could have sworn there were some negative things said about Wandering Swordsman quality too.

Yes The Wandering Swordsman looked awful with the major interlacing problems caused by taking the PAL-NTSC master and stretching it!

That bad huh? I wasn't planning on buying it for me. I already have Water Margin (IVL) and Vengeance Is A Golden Blade. (Zoke) Thanks for letting me know just how bad the interlacing is.
