Dynamo / Death Beach /The Close Encounters of Vampire / From China with Death

This collection of martial arts classics serves as a veritable buffet of tastes for the discerning kung fu fan who doesn't want to have to pick and choose. Highlights include the early Woo-ping Yuen classic From China with Death (1974), which blends humor, action and camp with a story line involving two schemers who possess mad kung fu skills, and Yuen's The Close Encounters of Vampire (1986), a rare tale of supernatural proportions.
