Summary: The best I've been able to find, but...
Review: There is no denying the fundamental importance of these movies to any fan of action, and now that the price has dropped from the original $54 I can wholeheartedly recommend this version. Be forewarned, however, that the collection does NOT include Enter the Dragon, due to copyright issues with WB studios (This set is released by 20th Century Fox) and it also does NOT contain the original language dialogue, which was a huge disappointment to me. The gem of the collection is "The Chinese Connection", which shows some fun examples of Bruce expanding his role as an actor as well as a martial artist. Just as a heads up, this movie, originally released as Fists of Fury in HK, actually has a quality (for HK films of this era) sequel starring Jackie Chan that most people haven't heard of. Called New Fist of Fury, I thought that this was one of Jackie's better earlier films as well.

Summary: To much Bruce? Naaa!!
Review: Bruce is definitely top of the Pyramid.He combined intellect & Body. Unfortuntly the DVD's in this region have not combined the true Hong Kong Versions because they think we would not get it. O.K. they think we're unsophisticated I'll buy that. Just give both versions access to everyone. I saw the uncut version of Return or The Way of the Dragon and laughed like I was 20 again (inside joke), I'm sure there's plenty to spread around. Let the real movies begin.

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: Bruce Lee: A God
Review: A five disc set that includes: "Fists of Fury," "The Chinese Connection," "Return of the Dragon," "Game of Death," and "Bruce Lee: The Legend." Who cares about "Game of Death" because a stand-in who looks nothing like the god takes up a lot of screen time. Terrible. Bruce Lee kicks major ... in the other movies. He beats up guys on a rich guy's yard, smacks bad guys in the face with nunchuks and a fat Italian guy who looks like somebody I know. "You know what Chinese spare ribs are?" Comicality. Bruce Lee is an ultimate god after defeating hairy beast Norris and jolly black giant Jabbar! Too much to handle for those mortals. A good set for any immortal to own.

Summary: Bruce-the best in the world
Review: He was a true master-till this day no one comes close. His techniques are copied and used by everyone from navy seals, to shaolin monks-they just dont tell you this. He was a fanatic who developed his one style of martial arts after studying numerous other....but he had only one formal teacher-Grandmaster YipMan of the Wing chun system. {Bruce eventually taught his teacher his new found teckniques.}
As far as this collection-they could've added special features, but the company felt it wouldnt've made anymore profit from this. It didnt matter that his fans missed out. The company that put out Warriors Journey-the documetary that features "Game of Death" uncut wanted to work with fox video to add all the footage into the movie-there is another 20 minutes of bruce fighting that has never been seen! They said no. There is a DVD put out in Asia by "Media Asia" of Chinese connection-AKA Fist of Fury in Asia that is far suppior to the american version-it features tons of extras,3 dubbed languages[including english] Bruce actually dubbed the voice of the Russian bad guy on the chinese track-very cool to hear!! The movie comes in a gift box with a pair of miniature Nunchakus! 5 star laser sells it-look them up on line.

Summary: I love Bruce Lee's films but¿
Review: ...this set could have been spectacular instead of just being average. The films could have been released in the original language with english subtitles, and had a second audio track for the dubbed english versions. This is so easy to do with DVDs that it's a crime the manufacturer did not do this. Here was an opportunity to really do these movies justice and all they did was copy the films onto disk. A real shame. Still, these are excellent films and any fan of Bruce Lee must have these movies. Now, if someone would just release those movies he made in China when he was a kid...

Summary: Bruce Lee, the man.
Review: This DVD set was already released (why are they getting it so late?) But anway this DVD collection is about a master, a master of the Martial Arts, his name is Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee was born in San Francisco in 1940 but would be raised in China, later on his parents would give him a crisp 100 dollar bill and would send him on his way back to San Francisco. Bruce Lee would learn various Martial Arts in China and would utilize them in his films. Bruce would go back to China to film ALL these movies in this collection (their all in english but with different vioice actors, the orginal movies were in Chineese). Then Bruce would get his big brake in 1972 when hollywood would start work on "Enter the Dragon" (not included in this collection, ashame, it would have completed it). Bruce would film this with multiple hollywood sensations but he would never get to see it in theaters although he WOUDLD see a full version of it just before he died of a odd brain reaction to a head medicine he took that night. Some people say Bruce is a poser, some say hes not a good actor, well i say forget what they say. Bruce is the man, next to me ;).
