The Karate Kid: 2010 remake
Not seen it, so I couldn't say.
Shogun Assassin: Limited Edition
The new BluRay does seem to have some nice features on it:
I'm a bit torn, becuase part of me says see all the individual films, and the other part of me says that if you've seen one, you've seen 'em all!
I guess a high-res print and two commentaries makes it something you'll watch a few times.

Shaolin Soccer
This is well worth seeing, but it completely nuts. There's loads of CGI in it and very little fighting, they use their Shaolin skills to play football. You can probably get the DVD for about £3. I don't think I've seen it again since I watched it for a second time with a bunch of mates who were equally amused/confused, so might not be worth investing in the BluRay for.

Ong Bak 3
The original Ong-Bak is brilliant and was a breath of fresh air with its inventiveness, stunts and humour. There's a long story about how star, Tony Jaa, went a little loopy, quit the film, became a monk and then changed his mind and finished it off and parts 2 and 3 are a bit rushed.
There's a review here, but it doesn't look good:
Fist Of Legend
I've not seen this for years, but I picked up the DVD for a fiver and I think the BluRay can be picked up for under a tenner. It's the first time it's been released with subtitles in the US/UK, and there's a bunch of extras like making of docs and interviews and there's a Bey Logan commentary!

The Sword With No Name
Don't know much about this Korean film, sorry!

Shogun Assassin: Limited Edition
The new BluRay does seem to have some nice features on it:
- Stunning fully-restored 1080p presentation of the uncut film in its original aspect ratio
- New video appreciation of the film by actor Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction)
- Two commentary tracks: one featuring producer David Weisman, illustrator Jim Evans and actor Gibran Evans (the voice of Daigoro), the second with film scholar Ric Meyers and martial arts expert Steve Watson
