Not sure how many Bruce Lee fans there are here, but im a huge one.
I own quite a few dvd's and lot of Bruce Lee ones, the Hong Kong Legends (UK) are superb.
When i was over at the states, the one's there were absolutely shocking.
anybody own any Brucey dvds?
See: Ravi & MacGuffin.
who the hell are they?
They would be the ones who own the 'Brucey dvds.' You're a quick one, aren't you?
Quote from: Bruce Leewho the hell are they?
The one that owns:

Enter the Dragon SE Due in MayTwo-disc set comes with new featurettes. Warner Home Video has announced a two-disc special edition DVD of Bruce Lee's legendary film Enter the Dragon. The disc will hit shelves on May 18 for a suggested price of $26.95.
This was Lee's final completed film. In it, he played intelligence agency recruit who goes undercover as contestant in a Karate tournament to infiltrate a drug trafficking ring. Now more than 30 years old, many martial arts film fans feel it still has not been topped.
The new Enter the Dragon two-disc DVD will come with more than five hours of bonus material, including a brand new making-of documentary that explores Lee's motivation for making the film, the difficulties of filming on location in Hong Kong and other behind-the-scenes materials. Some are leftovers from the previous Enter the Dragon DVD release in 2002.
The specs are as follows:
Disc 1
Commentary by producer Paul Heller
Blood and Steel: The Making of Enter the Dragon
Bruce Lee: In His Own Words (vintage material)
Linda Lee Cadwell interview gallery
Lair of the Dragon - includes 1973 featurette and Backyard Workout with Bruce Lee.
Disc 2
Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey (vintage material)
Curse of the Dragon (vintage material)
Theatrical trailers
Television spots
I wish they would just put the entire Lost Interview on this DVD instead of the In His Own Words featurette.
Is this the same Curse of the Dragon documentary that has been on video for years?
I hear the UK discs are awesome. The Fox box set is just recycled LD transfers.
MacGuffin, that box set totaly sucks monkey ass.
this is what you need,

this is what you need
And I would need a Region Free player.
I only do multi region, as every dvd varies....
got a load of uncut from Norway and loads from the states, japan etc
Copy and paste MacGuffin's pictures here - got the box set and Enter the Dragon. The mirror sequence at the end of Dragon is amazing. It's good to see such a legendary film icon is posting here.

Finally, I'm starting to get some recognition around here.
didn't A&E have a good documentary on the guy? A Warrior's Journey or something, with the last hour of "Game of Death" finally shown in its full glory. That was cool. He did a pretty good job directing such epic duels. People don't realize that how much of his films were directed by him.
I'm a huge Bruce Lee buff, movie-wise and martial arts-wise (and drug habit-wise), I visited his grave two years ago in Seattle, it was a moving experience.
the only drug he took was aparantly a bit of cannabis, as he liked to chew the root and bake some hash cookies, to calm him down.
understandable as it was the 70's.

i had a dream last night where i had to solve a mystery (which is usually the way my dreams go) and mr. t was the key to unlocking the riddle. i forget how it all happened, but i'm pretty sure that was your av in my subconscious making me dream about mr. t. just thought i'd share.

I think that was on AMC, but I have the A&E bio on tape somewhere.
I only saw the part with Game of Death, but it was awesome. Too bad the "finished" product turned out to be such a joke, except for the new footage at the end. But then they ruined it further with that stupid wax head thing after that. At least the opening credits are cool.
I own every documentary made on Bruce, but still havn't seen one that lives up to my standards.

What about Bruce's standards, huh? Ever think about HIS?
his standards don't matter anymore, they were long gone smashed when Robert Clouse got hold of Game of Death.
Coming June 22nd to DVD is Goodbye Bruce Lee, remastered in anamorphic widescreen and stereo. It will include trailers and retail is $14.95.

here's a great essay by Bruce on jeet kune do.

and an onion parody of enter the dragon this week:
http://theonion.com/news/
I've not seen anything new for a while, the so called special release Enter DVD is just a repackaged DVD, with warriors journey thrown in.
nothing to wet your pants over at all.
Im just sitting twidling my thumbs until the next person discovers more of Bruce Lee footage lost in the archives, or until the tossers in China that have Bruce Lee footage but do not share die.
I hope it at least has a new transfer. The existing one is fine, but technology has improved over the last 6 years. I'm not holding my breath, considering WB used the old transfer on their new My Fair Lady SE.
I think its been left as it is, who's Warner to give a rats-ass.
Blood and Steel doc is the only worthwhile thing on it, id rather spend my money on this;
