Jackie Chan Collector’s Edition Boxset £5.99


When it comes to modern day action films, nobody puts in as much effort into their own stuntwork as Jackie Chan does. Even at the ripe old age of 55, he shows no sign of slowing down – the guy even sings now as well, for goodness sake!

Inside the Jackie Chan Collector’s Edition Boxset you’ll find three movies which show him at his best. Rumble In The Bronx and Shanghai Noon are both excellent, while Twin Dragons certainly has its moments.

Beavis And Butt-head: The Mike Judge Collection

Beavis And Butt-head was an animated series that centered on a pair of teenagers who while away their time in sarcastic conversation, fantisising about sex and masculinity, even though they have no real-world experience with either thing. Little effort is put into anything, but they manage to survive their misadventures without series consequence.

Some episodes have been edited slightly, and most of the music videos don’t appear (although there are some 39 to be found as extra features).

The Moonlighting: Seasons One & Two boxset contains a total of six cheap DVDs

Before becoming one of the biggest action stars of the 90s, Bruce Willis first rose to fame as one half of a private detective duo in U.S. series Moonlighting. Cybill Shepherd played the role of his partner, and the show helped to revitalise a career that seemed to be going down the toilet.

Inside the Moonlighting: Seasons One & Two boxset you’ll find the first 25 episodes of the programme. Also included are three featurettes looking back at the series, although it’s disappointing we miss out on the audio commentaries contained in the American release.
