Received my set a couple of days ago and opened it up and popped one in the DVD player. I too loved the beginning of the DVD and was extremely happy with the quality of the movie. I watched the Jade Mask first. Imagine my surprise when I went to put the DVD back in the box and pick another to watch. I had two (2) copies of "Meeting at Midnight" and no copy of "The Chinese Cat"!!!!!!! Yikes!!! Amazon was excellent about returning and exchanging the set but I had to stop and return them so I haven't seen the rest of them. I just got an e-mail saying that they had shipped my new set today. Returning them was also easy. I just printed a label off their web site and taped it to the box. Postage paid for by Amazon. I am anxiously awaiting the complete set.
I too, Rush was dismayed by the repeated "disclaimer" or announcement stating that these movies were made when times were less politically correct. Like you, I also can live with it pasted on each DVD (and the box!!) if that means that they will be released for our enjoyment.
I am telling everyone I see about the set and encourage everyone to buy one!!!!
