Summary: Laser Disc Transfer....
Review: I bought all of the Bruce Lee films on Lasrer Disc years ago. At that time, it was the only way to get movies in widescreen and at a higher resolution. I have seen those LD movies so many times and I know what resolution something is. Fox has put a flim-flam on us. I bought mine when this set first came out about for(?) years ago. Once that CBS Fox logo came on the screen, the first thing I said was "these people got lazy and did not even want to re-master the original films. Instead the just copyed a LD to DVD because they figure that most fools would not know it." I guess they were right. Some of us do know it.
Just because these were Kong Kong films and considered "B" movies, you should still give them some decent treatment. Even Game of Death II was re-mastered and even given some type of surround sound. The sound on these is about as horrible as you remeber it from TV. The picture, I cannot really get happy about it since it is not DVD qulaity. Many people did not get into LD's or S-VHS for one reason of another(cost being the main factor), so they may be impressed and think that this is Lee on DVD in it's finest quality. I wonder if we will ever see such quality. I am hunting down the Asian verison which says that they were indeed re-mastered, you hear Lee's origianl voice AND it is in DTS surround sound. They give their master the royal treatment, and we give him the "B" movie treatment.
I say hunt down the Asian ones.

Summary: The essential ingredient for any Bruce Lee collector.
Review: I can't describe the quality and value of this collectors edition. When I purchased it I wasn't expecting much as I have been an avid fan for years but when I saw these D.V.D's my breath was taken away! The added quality due to the format is understandable but the overall improvement was amazing and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend this box set to any fan of martial arts but I also find myself telling the vast array of Bruce Lee fanatics that if they don't already own this then their collections just aren't complete! BUY IT NOW!!!!!

Summary: It's Great, but...
Review: I give this DVD set 3 stars soley because of "The Game of Death." The rest of the DVD set gets 5 stars or maybe 6. For those of you who have seen the wonderful documentry "Bruce Lee: A Warriors Journey" you will be sorely disappointed in this cheap studio rip off of what Bruce Lee intended "The Game of Death" to be. They cut out a good 30 minutes of quality Bruce Lee footage, and totally changed the story. The 5 level pagoto becomes a restraunt! What a load of crap. Bruce Lee's movies always have a underlying message of truth, and "The Game of Death" was supposed to have one also (see the above mentioned documentry for details), but because the intesely greedy and stupid movie studio decided to change the entire plot and theme of the movie after Bruce Lee's untimely death, that underlying message is missing... in short, "The Game of Death" is a disgrace to Bruce Lee. Well, now that I have that off my chest, the rest of the DVD is unbelievable. Some don't like the cheesy dubbing (the movies were made in China for a Chinese audience), but I think that is all part of the charm of the classic Bruce Lee movies. I watched the other 4 DVDs with a huge smile on my face the entire time. In the end, I do recommend this DVD set wholeheartly. Bruce Lee, the greatest ever.

Summary: 5 Stars for Bruce Lee 0 for this DVD set!!
Review: I have to strongly agree with the previous review...and in fact because these are sooo scratch filled, poorly dubbed , missing footage junk...I investigated and found that in the UK they have a great set with original language and subtitles , made from original film without edits and poor saturation and other contrast anomolies that mar this crappy set. The only problem is you need a PAL converter to play the UK sets....BUT ....I found on eBay the 30th anniversary collection from Korea and just received it....at about twice this price...but oh my the package is amazing... a beautiful book....bound like a wedding album...and the movies? The transfers are STUNNING....plus they have bonus interviews , trailers etc....
After watching the Korean edition ....I put this set back in and it really made me sick...really poor quality....and for an Icon like Bruce Lee? If he were alive he would kick the butts of the profiteers at the company issueing this garbage!

Summary: CBS/FOX could have done better
Review: I was really disappointed with this because I couldn't wait to pick up my set. It was basically a retread of the old laserdisc versions released 6 years ago, but without the original trailers that came with the LD. I ended up selling my DVD set and getting the MEDIA ASIA versions. Better picture but with subtitles only. I wish this could have been the definitive collection, but in the end CBS/FOX just got greedy. I wish they took the time and care Warner did with Enter the Dragon.

Summary: Captain Amazo and The Dragon: Rockin' The House In Style!
Review: I've always been a huge Lee fan, and these DVDs were possibly the single coolest thing I have ever seen, and unless The Lone Ranger and Fonzie plan to ride past my house on Batmobiles trailing winged gorillas dropping tacos, probably the coolest thing I ever will see. The picture quality is superb compared to other Lee DVDs, and they come with subtitles, which come in handy when you miss something. Lee's fighting is, of course, excellent as always. I don't care what my friend says, Jackie Chan could never be a match for Lee, no matter how many household objects he throws at him. Lee doesn't fool around when you throw a lamp at him, he puts his foot through your face. It's an excellent set for any action movie fan, or anybody who wants to see a master in his medium. Look for the masterful fights in the Colisseum and for foot-knife deflecting antics on the part of Lee. All in all, I give it a solid GROOVY.

Summary: UK FANS-this is a must!!!!!!!!
Review: If you really want to see Bruce Lee in action with nanchuka sticks and not butchered by the BBFC, this box set is a definite must have. There are some faults, Way of the Dragon (aka Return of the Dragon ) lacks Bruce's original battle cries and is repitively dubbed which is a great pity as this is always an essential part of Bruce's performance.However, you people with multi region DVD players should consider this a bargain.In addition, you will see Game of Death with 2 extra fight scenes ( including the Dan Inasanto nanchuka fight with Bruce) and NOT just the Hakim fight- ever wondered why Inasanto was shown on the credits at the start and never featured in the film again?. February 19th 2000 sees the release of Fist of Fury in the uk UNCUT for the first time. These Homg Kong Films releases will be just as significant in that they contain the original cantonese soundtrack, commentaries, trailers and are fully remastered. If you want the ULTIMATE edition these are essential purchases.Will Way of the Dragon be uncut????? time will tell.Let's hope that the UK can finally see these films( and hear them) the way they were meant to be. if you are a fan, you will buy both the Fox box set and the region 2 releases on hong Kong films because you can't wait BUT you also want ALL those lovely extras that these films deserve.If anyone wants more info you can e mail me.

Summary: YOU GET THE FILMS AND NOTHING BUT THE FILMS !
Review: In this DVD collection from 20th Century Fox you get the letterboxed versions of FIST OF FURY , CHINESE CONNECTION , RETURN OF THE DRAGON , and GAME OF DEATH along with the documentary BRUCE LEE : THE LEGEND which is presented in full screen format. Essentially you just get fine copies of Bruce's classic kung fu movies along with the documentary except ENTER THE DRAGON which is owned by Warner Brothers. The DVDs do not come with the original chinese audio , and it comes with no DVD extras. All you get are the films and nothing but the films. Picture quality has been enhanced and the movies come with subtitles but the sound remains mono. The discs come in a terrific looking 5 disc jewel case that is chocked with pictures from the films in a slip cover case. The films are nicely divided up into chapters from 14 to 24 chapters. Personally , I wished that Fox could have added some DVD extras to these disc like the original chinese audio. DVD extras are the only things that these discs are really missing. Outside of that it is a nice collection of Bruce Lee's classic Hong Kong kung fu films. Buy the special edition of "Enter The Dragon" from Warner Brothers (which has some DVD extras that are terrific) and add it to this collection and you'll TRUELY own a master collection.
