As I considered buying this collection, I was at first put off by the negative comments I read here. Fortunately, I went ahead and bought it. And I am glad that I did. The three movies in this collection are not the slick, well-choreographed and precisely executed kung fu movies like those of Jet Li, Jackie Chan or Donnie Yen. The martial art of Thailand is Muay Thai, greatly different from Kung Fu. The movies are reminiscent of the early Jackie Chan films originally made for Hong Kong audiences. As in so many Hong Kong kung fu films, the story line is thin, and the fight sequences many and lengthy, almost always including slapstick comendy routines that add spice to the martial art action. THink of them as Abbott and Costello in the jungles of Thailand. Anyone contemplating purchasing this DVD should not expect a grandiose Hollywood-type movie, nor a monster epic such as John Woo might create. These films are not well-written, exquisitely acted or tightly edited as, say, Casablanca or The African Queen, but they are to me delightful and enjoyable viewing. There was a comment that the English-language dubbing was not all that great. That may be, but we do not know what the characters were saying in the language of Thailand, so the dubbing worked for me. English subtitles are present and quite clear in all three films. In conclusion, lovers of martial arts films, and in particular the high-flying, knee-kicking, elbow-conking action of Muay Thai should consider adding this DVD to their collections. It is a demon, zombie and ghost-ridden series made comical by liberal doses of Oriental slapstick. I enjoyed them greatlySpirited Killer: Trilogy
