I didn't rate this 5 stars because the packaging & disc printing weren't very helpful. But it earns the other 4 stars for a diverse lineup of late 60's through early 80's grindhouse fare.

The discs themselves are great-- nothing fancy, the films will play back-to-back if you start with the first one, a double feature on each side of every disc. The menu comes right up without any cheesy manufacturer logo/intro, and is straightforward with 6 chapter stops per film. I've watched the kung fu, spaghetti western, & crime movies so far, and am looking forward to the other genres in the set.. Most are predictably video transfers in full screen, but there are also some film transfers in widescreen. The picture & sound quality add to the experience, if anything.

For those who wish they had numbered the films in a list for the disc cases, here's what's on the discs:

Disc 1: Women in Prison / Cannibal
1. Women's Camp 119 (1977)
2. Tortured Angels (1982)
3. Raw Force (1982)
4. Savage Man/Savage Beast (1974)

Disc 2: Cops / Disaster
5. Confessions of a Police Captain (1971)
6. Executioner 2 (1984)
7. Poseidon Explosion (1973)
8. Earthquake 7.9 (?)

Disc 3: Mafia / Kung Fu
9. Violent Professionals (1973)
10. Frank and Tony (?)
11. Kung Fu Punch of Death (1973)
12. Return of the Tiger (1979)

Disc 4: Spaghetti Western / Blacksploitation
13. Go Kill and Come Back (1967)
14. Bounty Man (1972)
15. Three Tough Guys (1974)
16. Mandinga (1976)

Disc 5: Horror / Sexploitation
17. The Children (1980)
18. Demon With Child (1975)
