Snake Strikes Back-which edition

[Shaolin Dog Paw]

i read on HK Flix that their version says:

Video Asia DVDs are generally of very poor audio/video quality, as most are taken from VHS or equivalent sources. Some even have the wrong films on them. Their "anamorphic" releases are usually double-cropped--that is, they take a cropped full screen print and then crop off the top and bottom to make it look "widescreen", and then stretch it anamorphically, leaving you with about 25% of the original picture. We offer these disgraceful DVDs on a close-out basis only. We will not accept returns of any Video Asia DVDs for any reason--please buy at your own risk!

but this isnt true of all video asia discs... and then amazon has a VHS tape of Snake Strikes Back released by Ground Zero. Which one should i get?

Am i really going to get a crappy DVD if i go with the HK Flix movie? Has anyone gotten any bad Video Asia discs from HK Flix, and does anyone know if the quality is better on a ground zero distro?

1 out of every 20 Video Asia releases are good quality. Snake strikes Back is not one of them. I hated the movie anyway so I was not disappointed.

The UK IVL disc is a good quality full screen print. I have no idea how cut it might be, but I was satisfied with it. It's as good as you could hope for an Elton Chong release. You can pick this up on ebay for about $5 including shipping:

I got this in a VA's Super Kung Fu Box (10 movies) at best buy. It was pretty cheap and had a few decent movies in it: Black Eagles Blade, Fistful of Talons, Kung Fu Zombie, the incredibly bizarre Monkey With 72 Magic. The quality of Snake Strikes Back wasn't anything I remember, but this might not be a bad way to get it.

Lei Kung,

was the box set actually called the "Super Kung Fu Box Set"? because i went and didnt see it. I'll head into Portland and see if they have it there.
