We just added Jackie Chan’s Criterion Collection box set to Polygon’s best Blu-rays of 2023 list, and you can already get it for half-price at Amazon. This Black Friday deal applies to a bunch of Criterion’s best Blu-ray and 4K UHD Blu-rays, but this collection is our clear favorite pick.
Jackie Chan: Emergence of a Superstar includes Spiritual Kung Fu, The Fearless Hyena, Fearless Hyena II, The Young Master, My Lucky Stars, and Half a Loaf of Kung Fu. The set normally costs $124.95, but is available today for $62.49. That makes it, by far, one of our favorite Black Friday deals this holiday season.
If you’re not a huge fan of Jackie Chan movies, that’s okay. We’ve compiled some of our other favorite Criterion discs that are available with 50% off.
- The Before Trilogy – Richard Linklater’s romantic trilogy hits differently every time you watch it.
- After Hours – Martin Scorsese’s weirdest film and an ode to a lost era of NYC.
- Malcolm X – One of Spike Lee’s many masterpieces.
- Days of Heaven – Perhaps Terrence Malick’s most inviting film.
- Don’t Look Now – A brilliant horror-thriller gem that’s criminally underseen by people under 40.
- One False Move – A killer thriller — the less you know, the better.
One more thing: Criterion’s Godzilla collection is 37% off, taking it from $224.95 to $140.70. I know that’s not technically half-off. But it’s my personal favorite Blu-ray investment in recent years, so obviously I had to sneak it into the end.
