toxicTom: I'm hesitant buying movies, since I prefer to spend my scarce free time with games. But your post got me thinking. I recently found many of Jackie Chan's older movies on Youtube for free. I would really consider buying those from here (if they came in good quality and preferably with multiple voice tracks and subtitles).
stg83: Most definitely yes, Jackie Chan was my favorite action star growing up (he is still the man at over 60) and I really enjoy all of his earlier stuff a lot. It would indeed be great to have all those movies in high quality and DRM Free.
It think that a lot of his early movies were on a big dvd pack, but these were sold a lot in store in holland i dont know how the rest of the world handled them.
As for the quality i dont know if its any good, however if they clean up the old movies too much then it isnt ';retro' any more
i have some more recent movies for 1 tot 3 euros a piece, with mandarin voice and most of the time dutch subs, sometimes jackie had the movies in english with his own voice.
rushour 1,2,3 are very good and i still watch them from time to time for all the fun and action, not for the story cause the plot is already known.
I have them on dvd and i think its a evry decent quality , ofcourse i have dvd not the blue ray with hd and more...
i will stick to normal dvd as long as possible.
I have some old police quest movies with chan in it.
Some time theres 8 packs of quite recent movies at default dvd quality in the retail shops at 8 euros now thats a steal: 8 movies for 8 or 10 euros total.
