This Soul Team Six collection might not have top-of-the-line movies, and frankly some aren’t that good, but nice to at least have them in one set even if the transfers weren’t the best.

| I knew going in these films might not look good, but I didn’t think most of these transfers (most were in 1.33 full frame aspect ratio) were probably taken from VHS sources. They don’t look good at all and is filled with scratches, dust marks and everything under the sun in terms of flaws. The Dolby Digital Stereo tracks themselves also aren’t great though at least the dialogue does come through decently enough but in a few of the films, there were discernible hisses and pops. |
OVERALL – 2.0/5 |
| This Soul Team Six collection might not have top-of-the-line movies, and frankly some aren’t that good, but nice to at least have them in one set even if the transfers weren’t the best. If you’re a fan of the blaxploitation subgenre, this is worth the already low price. |
