Just found out about these. Are they worth watching? (if I can still find them)
Do they have english sub-titles?
I see they are mentioned very early in this thread.

Never watched 'em but I see that the full movie of KFM2 is on Youtube in two Asian languages.
Both videos there lack English captions, but at least you can see what it's like.
The Region 1 DVDs listed on Amazon.com all have English captions.
