It didn’t take long for Crash Cinema (in association with Video Transfer Incorporated) to rock the international DVD world with some of the highest quality action packed martial arts films ever released. From the very moment the first releases of the Pagoda Films Premium Collection started jump-kicking off the shelves, they have been hailed from London, Rio De Janeiro, to New York, and everywhere in between as films that set the standard with added features and kick-ass quality! Building on that momentum, Crash Cinema is proud to present round two of the Pagoda Films Premium Collection with three more classics from the golden age of martial arts action film making. Avid aficionados and novices alike can look forward to adding the three more absolutely "must have" titles of Amsterdam Connection, Shaolin Tiger Claw, and Story in Temple Red Lily to their collections. These well known films are guaranteed to please even the toughest and most discerning fan of martial arts action, delivering everything from, buxom babes and bullets, to big-house brawls, and even bloodthirsty barons of medieval China!

Fans certainly know that the most exciting aspect of the Pagoda Films Premium Collection is the film quality. All of the films in this series are newly digitally remastered from the finest 35mm prints available and will be shown in their respective widescreen aspect ratios. Add to the mix, special features and tons of cool extras like, Cast Biographies, Bonus Fights, Film Gallery, Trailers, Interactive Menu Screens, and Filmographies, and you’ve got the greatest hard hitting, fast kicking, fist flying action ever packed into one collection! Once you've experienced the Pagoda Films Premium Collection, your DVD player will thank you, and give you a Boot To Da Head if you try to go back to those other low quality DVDs from who-knows-where. Get ready, because The Pagoda Films Premium Collection will smash through the old standards of Martial Arts Action (and the competition) like a Shaolin monk's fist through pine boards! "We are very proud to be able to bring out the only martial arts DVDs truly worthy of a home theater," said Chris Parente, President of Crash Cinema Inc. And for any of the remaining non-believers out there, you don’t have to take our word for it, just check out what Movie Maker magazine had to say: "Marital arts discs which are finally capable of withstanding quality comparison to mainstream DVDs… wonderfully crisp and letterboxed transfers, extra features… highly enjoyable."

As Crash Cinema continues to grow, it has become obvious that poor film and transfer

quality is the greatest real issue confronting our industry. Too many great films are given

shoddy treatment on DVD and VHS, in large part because of the poor quality in available

masters. Crash Cinema wants to be at the forefront of a change in these practices.
