WARNING1 NOT BLU-RAY AND NO SUBTITLES!
Ordered set of six blu-ray. Upon arrival, I wondered why case was black, not blue. Also, no information on cover. Back only had a picture of Bruce Lee (who had nothing to do with there movies). No info on discs, either. Put one into play and discovered it was a copied blu-ray (BD-R). Based on quality, I would say it was copied from a DVD. To top it off, there are no subtitles.
