Does anyone have all of the R2 Hong Kong Legends releases?
I have 41 of the 63 DVD's they have released (65 if you count Hitman and Way of the Dragon twice). The other 22 seem real borderline but damn I love those commentaries and HKL still has that 3 for 22 pounds sale.

I've got:
Intro to Hong Kong Legends/Hitman
The Bruce Lee 30th Anniversary Collection
The Big Boss (original release, came unsealed but never viewed because I got the box set, if anyone is interested in a trade of nearly any kind)
Hong Kong 1941
New Dragon Gate Inn
Once Upon a Time in China Trilogy
Project A (platinum series)
The Killer
The Story of Ricky
Young Master
Police Story 2
Magnificent Butcher
Mr. Vampire
Dragon From Russia
So that's 16, counting the box sets as only 1. Not bad but I'm desperate for more!

While it isn't mentioned, the French R2 is clearly the best ... IMHO of course. Who needs subs for this movie, anyway 
? The HKL is OK. And keep the R1(s) for the John Woo commentaries.
