Summary: Fair DVD For the Price
Review: All I can say is that this DVD has in no way been restored from its original version, the image and sound quality is what you'd expect seeing this movie for the first time in a movie theatre in the 1970's.

The imagine is poor and the translations are terrible, but Bruce Lee's action scenes make up for these flaws. The plots are fair and the acting is less then what you'd expect from Bruce Lee's later movies.

Keep in mind though, these were Bruce Lee's first two movies and if you want to experience them as if in a movie theatre in the 1970's for the first time, this DVD is for you. Plus, its a good value for the price.

But only a true Bruce Lee fan will be able to bear through them.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Absolutely horrid
Review: As others have said, the worst DVD I've seen. Not only were the transfers done from what appear to be film that was played so much it was scratched and broken, the audio is terrible. On "Chinese Connection," it's too slow (makes everyone sound like a dying record player). Madacy is off the list; I sent them email to complain and never heard a word back. The CASE is worth more than this sorry disc!

Summary: Take our Word on this!
Review: At this point there is nothing more I can say about this disc that has not already been said. The only reason I'm writing this is I need to vent! If you are reading through the reviews here and thinking "It can't possably be THAT bad." think again. I honestly cannot fathom how it is possable to screw something up so completely. The only thing worse is that someone is make money off this. Trust every word of every review here. the only reason it gets 1 star is because there isn't a -10 star option. By all means buy Bruce Lee movies. By all means buy them from Amazon.com. Just don't buy this copy.

Summary: AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL
Review: ATTENTION ATTENTION! People do not waste your money. This disc is worse than bad. Spend the extra 10 bucks and get the good version of both movies. On the Chinese Connection the sound is so slow. It sounds like you are playin a 45rpm record on 33rpms (those of you under 30 won't understand). Fists of Fury looks like it was dubbed off of a 50 year old version of the film. People shouldn't be allowed to deface Bruce's art with this garbage.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: ZERO RATING WE ARE NOT LYING
Review: DO NOT BUY THIS DVD. FISTS OF FURY IS EXCEPTABLE BUT CHINESE CONNECTION IS HORRIBLE EVERYONE HAS BARRYWHITE'S VOICE IT IS UNWATCHABLE. PAY A LITTLE MORE FOR THE DRAGON COLLECTION IT IS WORTH IT!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: HORRID!
Review: DO NOT BUY THIS DVD.

This is absolutely the most awful DVD ever. They took 2 fantastic movies and ruined them. The transfers onto DVD look like they were done by a monkey. The sound is awful.

If you want to buy a Bruce Lee DVD, DO NOT BUY THIS ONE.

I wish I could give a lower rating that this.

Summary: ...
Review: Do you think DVD is a synonym for quality? Do you buy your old favourites on DVD because you believe it will be of better picture and sound than your old and tired VHS tapes? Do you believe you can use your DVD discs many times without being scared they get worn out as your tapes do? Do you think nobody will ever digitize an old, ... and tired VHS tape and burn it into DVD after cutting some of the content out??? Before I bought this item, I would answer all YES... Unfortunately my old Video 2000 tapes (yeah they're 15 years old but still better than 8 old years VHS) are of much better quality of the picture and sound than this... You can simply imagine one of the very tired tape in your library, then add some HEAVY digital MPEG compression artifacts to the picture as well as HEAVY posterization in the colour range and you will get what it is on this disc as a picture. As for sound... Yes. your tape will be much better because it is probably not stretched... Do you believe that on DVD you get uncut versions of the movies? Well, my old tapes (although edited versions) have still more of the original content!!! To sum things up: Picture: 0, Sound: 0, Content: some scenes cut out! I wasn't able to watch it even once... Be warned! If only I could give 0 (zero) stars, I would.

Summary: HYSTERICAL!!!
Review: Even though the dvd is so horrid quality wise, it's absolutely hysterical. It is such a joke; the video and audio are so horrendous that it's funny, and the trivia questions are so bland I think my apendex exploded from laughter. If you have a couple of bucks, pick it up; it's worth a couple laughs. But if you are conservative of your money and serious about bruce lee, avoid this little "gem" like plaque my friend.
