Summary: ONE OF A KIND
Review: ENTER THE DRAGON IS THE BEST MOVIE YOU WILL EVER SEE MY ADVICE WOULD BE TO BUY IT NOW BEFORE I GET THEM ALL IT IS AMAZING. NOT JUST THE FANTASTIC MARTIAL ARTS FIGHT SCEANES BUT THE GRIPPING STORY AS WELL.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Master Doing What He Does Best!
Review: This is the almost complete set of Bruce Lee movies. In my opinion these are the best. I'll admit the mirror scene in Enter the Dragon was pretty cool. Anyway - There is something about Bruce Lee that no one else has. I guess Jet Li would be as close as anyone. The plots aren't that complicated but who watches Bruce for the great acting. There isn't a lot if any special features on these disks. You get fully restored versions and the movies are in widescreen. They are still in MONO. :( As I said in my title it's The Master Doing What He Does Best! :)

Rating: 5 stars
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.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not A Collection
Review: I am aware that this is a compendium of Bruce lee's movies from Hong Kong. But there's one problem I have with this collection. It's not a collection. ENTER the damn DRAGON is a BRUCE LEE MOVIE. If all of his films aren't COLLECTED it's not a collection. You can skip all of the pretty packaging and Booklets. I just want all of his films together. That may be a problem as far as the movie studios see it. Couldn't they settle their differences for the consumers sake. I sold my so called collection to a friend of mine a day after I purchased it. I didn't realize it was incomplete. I guess I should read the boxes before I buy my next COLLECTION. I can buy each DVD seperately and save money. Especially if the quality difference isn't that noticable. One of these DVD's isn't even an actual film. It's a documentary. Not worth it, unless you're to lazy to build your own collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 'Nuff Said......
Review: First of all, this is Bruce Lee. Not Bruce Li or Dragon Lee. All Bruce Lee. He is the man. He can kick our butts without thinking about it. Buy this collection out of respect for him, not because it does or doesn't come in Dolby Digital 5.1 (TM) and your big screen HDTV doesn't bring out the best of the films. I'll watch these movies on a 19 inch TV and still enjoy them. The dubbed voices are a key element in old school martial art films transfered to English. It's simple as day...If you can't appreciate Lee, don't by the movies.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Box set lacking
Review: Its a shame that a company owning the rights to release four of bruce lee's movies would not do it correctly. especially considering bruce lee has probably make them alot of dough. i give the box set two stars and thats just because bruce lee is in it. the dvd's offer no added features. the picture in fist of fury is awfull. the american 'john wayne' voice dubbing for bruce lee was even worse. i would have rather had the option to read subtitles and hear the original chinese voices. i would recomend finding a chinise release of these movies with a english subtitle at least. because this set doesn't even begin to match the quality that bruce lee deserves.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 4 stars
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: This is total POOPOLA! WHERE is the FREAKIN MIRROR SCENE?
Review: Ok. I'm in tears. I love all these movies, but they forgot one thing that made we want to beat up twenty guys at once and have a brain edema. Of course you see the "MASTER COLLECTION" and go, "Hey... It must have that movie with the mirrors in it." ... and you know it's really called "Enter The Freakin' Dragon," but you buy the 80$ box because you're sure it's in it even though the movie actually in the box is called "Return Of The Dragon." So you get the box home and start watching a movie every night. Finally, when Game of Death comes around, you're like, "This has to be the movie with the freakin' mirrors in it for goodness sake." Then you don't even see the real bruce Lee too often.. And when you do, it's a cut out of his face keyed onto another guy's body! Then you start to read the box... And find out that there is a movie called "Enter The Dragon." Then you start to cry.. realizing that the Master collection, although a wonderful gift from God, is not the "MASTER COLLECTIONN," but basically the one nobody would buy if there was a true "MASTER COLLECTION" with "ENTER THE freakin' DRAGON" in it. I would love to give this box a five, but I have to give it a 3, because ME and BRUCE are so upset that so many people got tricked and now have to buy a sith disc. He was a man of honor... Still is in my book! Why are the manufacturers or "Marketers" of this facade trying to ruin that honor?!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: DON"T BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
