The Storm Riders

 ' Good movie. Beware of the different versions. 8)
There seems to be a lot of confusion with the purchasing of this movie.
It seems that I have found three different DVDs on the same subject or movie.

If you type in "wind and cloud" in the Amazon.com search box you will get three top results, in not any order:
1.Wind and Cloud:The Storm Riders(2006,2004)
2.The Storm Riders(2001,1998)
3.The Storm Riders(2005)

I haven't checked out the 2001 version or the 2006 Wind and Cloud version. But if you look at the reviews, "Wind and Cloud:The Storm Riders" (2006,2004) is not the original film, but is a film that is cut from a series.

"The Storm Riders"(2005) is the version I bought. It is Region 0, and I have no clue what that means. It may mean All Regions, but on the product screen, it says that the region is unknown. It still plays fine on my DVD, though.

I can't speak for "The Storm Riders"(2001,1998), but on the product description page there are more DVD features than the 2005 version.

Funny, it should be the other way around-the newer version having more features, but I guess that's not the case.

So, as for the movie, the picture quality is not that great, but the action and visual effects are. This movie is good to watch at least once, so you may fair off better renting it first from Netflix(or another company) before buying.

But, basically, the story is about a man, who while conquering his enemies, takes in two disciples to train and help him in his efforts. Things get twisted, and everybody, basically, starts Kung Fu fighting. But, this is different because some of the characters can bend or manipulate the elements.
