Review: I've been a fan of Jackie Chan since the early 1990s. His fantastic mix of comedy and extreme martial arts prowess have always made him a favorite of mine. This new blu-ray 2-pack features a Chan classic, Crime Story, along with the Protector on high-definition blu-ray for the first time. These are two fantastic Chinese martial arts flicks that showcase Chan's trademark acting quality along with his fantastic stunt work that has made Chan a superstar worldwide. We highly recommend this set for any fan of Chan and martial arts film.
