Legendary Grandmasters of China (http://www.martialartsmart.net/dvd-og020.html) is subtitled in both English and Chinese. The subtitles aren't too Chinglishy although I'd be dishonest if I didn't confess to some Chinglish there. The narration is in Mandarin. The main complaint we get on this series is an aesthetic one. The series is comprised of the Grandmasters demonstrating the form, then a student of the master showing the movements broken down in chunks and applications. The Grandmasters footage is from the National Martial Arts Survey, so it's in all sorts of common locations like basketball courts and such. For some incomprehensible reason, the student portion was filmed in front of a green screen and then a scenic background is dropped in of a sunset or something similar. The backdrop isn't keyed to the student's real environment, so they appear to be floating in a bad 70's special effect. It's a bit annoying at first, but you get used to it. You can still glean the information from the footage. That part is clear. It just looks a little funny.
