    Absolutely well said. It's pathetic how WB have put out the same extras for the past 20 years, they couldn't give a toss about us fans as long as their making money. Would love to see a fresh new commentary as you said with behind the scenes footage, some new interviews (Jackie and Sammo would be great) there still alive and kicking 😅 would be great to see but I won't hold my breath as WB are very lazy.

    The dream for me would be if they could dig out all of that Henry Wong footage. He filmed hours of behind the scenes stuff which somehow is missing. I can't believe that they would throw that stuff away especially with Bruce dying before the release of ETD. Also I've heard many rumours that the BBC visited the set and interviewed the actors including Bruce. If that's true, it would be great to see that.
    Great video as always. Fingers crossed we get something special for the 50th anniversay of Enter the Dragon 🤞

      Yes the BBC interviews is deffo true, wether that stuff exists anymore is something else tho. Surely by now lots of this stuff people talk about would have surfaced already if it did. Money to be made and all that. Also In HK they always used to just bin loads of rushes / dailies back in the 70’s & 80’s, they didn’t give a monkeys if it had 10 takes of Bruce lee doing a kick or whatnot. It’s like when WB were editing ETD they didn’t expect him to die obvs so loads of stuff would have absolutely been erased or deleted I’m afraid off the face of the earth. I had a convo with paul heller producer once about this via a few mails back in 2006. He assured me BL saw a finished version of ETD including the score!! I used to own the full set of rushes to GOD, I bought it for only 15 quid in Hong Kong bruce lee store, I sold it 5 years later for like 150 quid on eBay ha, so am delighted arrow have remastered all of it and I’ll own it again. Wong or any footage would be good, least we got capri’s and B Logan found all that GOD stuff eh.

    Hey stripey hope you are well pal, I've recently heard that Warner bros, have the full footage of Bruce Lee going full monkey style on han, but won't release it for some reason 🤷‍♂️ I'd be grateful for the theatrical cut, i wasn't born till 79, my late father was a big bruce lee fan, and introduced me to the legendary Bruce Lee in enter the dragon, at the age of 6 yrs old, he had it on morning, noon and night 😂😂but his personal favourite bruce lee movie was fist of fury aka Chinese connection, my father had an accident and couldn't do martial arts, so his 1st son took the mantel, i was so committed to it, i received my dan in taekondo and a dan in kenpo, that's the dance of death guru Inosanto does to the guy with the log in game of death, which we will all have the pleasure of seeing with the amazing arrow boxset, arrow are amazing the job they did on an american werewolf in london omg amazing, 4k images the sound spectacular, I'm really looking forward to seeing all of Bruce Lees legendary movies in 4k Ultra HD, as far as enter the dragon goes, Warner bros have no intention of releasing anything more unfortunately, loving all the awesome bruce lee content respect from Ireland always mate stay safe 💯🍀🇮🇪🍀🐉🙏🐲🤜🤛#1940to1973 #brucelee #foreveryoung#jeetKuneDo #ENTERTHEDRAGON#BloodAndSteel #HansIsland

    Stripey, the original voice (monk and Bruce) is included in the Criterion Greatest Hits box. It’s even listed as such.
    The issue with it, is that it sounds like a telephone call.
    There was a video on UA-cam with the original Bruce voice which named the source as the original Chinese vinyl soundtrack album. Though, why that was the only source (and he’s speaking English on a Chinese LP) is a puzzle.🤷‍♂️

Consiering the fact that WB is allowing the regular Blu-ray print to be licensed, but are purposely keeping the 4K release for themselves, it NEEDS to be special. Creating new 4K trailers would be fairly simple, and not that costly to upgrade a few minutes of footage. They should make this THE ultimate release of a great film.

    Hi Stripey. I would like to see some thing like what Warners did for the original Bladerunner boxset. So you would get the theatrical cut, the Directors cut ( with alternative track, e.g, Bruces voice in the monk scene) and the work print ( That Bruce Lee saw at Warners). More of Henry Wongs " missing" film. Interviews with those who worked on ETD. Ahna Capris 8mm ( restored) film. A return to the surving locations in Hong Kong as well. A CD of the original extended soundtrack thrown in with a booklet, poster and lobby cards. Is that asking too much? I dont think so.

    My Ramble: Re Warner Brothers, I remember buying Joni Mitchel's "Blue" CD from a charity shop. At the time I used to to play CDs via my computer. The CD wouldn't play. Was it a pirate copy? No it was a kosher but WB had put a special code/software to stop them being played on a computer. 🤨 I sort of understand but really it sums up their attitude, it's like HP Printers having software to stop 3rd party ink cartridges (I'll never have a HP product again!)

    I’ve been told by someone who worked at Warner they do not have any BTS footage. Warner would not even fund the Angela Mao documentary he wanted to produce. Warner do not care at all. We’ve had the same extras since the 25th anniversary edition. Arrow did not include the ETD Blu-ray box artwork in recently released product picture. Hopefully it features Tony Stella’s artwork. And not the usual Warner artwork. I prefer the theatrical cut so good job I bought the criterion box set. One version on the soundtrack for the extended cut does include Bruce’s voice but it sounds like it did on the Japanese LP. I’m sure they could have cleaned it up. To much echo. But still sounds way better then John Little’s impersonation.

    I'd like to see a newly remastered 4K of the theatrical print with a new documentary & audio commentaries, a second disc featuring the special edition & Hong Kong versions.

    Warner Brothers do not own the copyrights to the Ahna Capri film. That is why they cannot publish it. It is owned by a Japanese collector whom I know very well that bought it at auction many years ago. It was leaked out which is why it’s been on UA-cam for years. But to clean it up and officially release the entire film would require permission that would undoubtedly require Warners to pay. I think they did release just a very limited portion on the 40th version but I’d have to check.

    I, unfortunately, anticipate being disappointed with this upcoming 4K release of Enter The Dragon, but I won't be surprised, as you say WB has tended to put basically zero effort into their ETD releases. Like you I'd like a decent commentary track maybe with producer Andre Morgan & Bey Logan or Frank Djeng, the one with Paul Heller seemed uninformed (he didn't even know who Sammo Hung was when he recorded it, didn't even recognize Jackie Chan) & Michael Allin was just cut out of it (I suspect because not everything he remembered about Bruce was entirely complimentary), interviews with Bolo Yeung/Yueng Sze & Angela Mao would be cool, maybe an interview with Betty Chung, deleted scenes/alternate takes (which we know exist, we've seen some here on UA-cam in pretty poor quality), as you said a cleaned up full version of Ahna Capri's home movies from the set (she shot roughly 15 minutes, WB in their great wisdom saw fit to give us 3 minutes of it), an interview with Jackie Chan would be nice, an extensive image gallery would be cool, maybe a hardbound book like the ones Arrow & 88 Films include with some of their sets, WB could include the soundtrack on CD, an updated Making Of Enter The Dragon coffee table book to be simultaneously released would be excellent, there's just so much WB, Shannon, & the Lee Estate could do to make this 50th anniversary release truly special, but will they? I'm not going to get my hopes up.

    Great video mate. Totally empathise with you. But Warners are lazy and are also leaving it a bit late to announce something. There recent Casablanca set was a worthwhile effort so im hoping for something similar. But at the end of the day, its the boutique labels that really care. Lets just wait and see as thats all we can do.

    There's going to be nothing extra on this. If you look at the WB UHD catalogue, it's the same crap over and over. They toss in an old Blu Ray with old extras and add the UHD disc.
    The very best we can hope for is the theatrical print in 4K.
    Warner's will be sitting on some footage, but they can't be arsed looking for it. The things you're asking for cost money, and WB knows they'll get sales without making much effort.

    I'd love to get some new commentaries. I think most of the current ones are a little boring. Other than that, I'd really like to just get a great-looking 4K disc. Maybe the original audio track (mono?). On a side note, Enter the Dragon was one of the very first DVDs I bought when I switched to that format. I remember being surprised how those red/orange robes at the beginning really popped off the screen in a way they just didn't on laserdisc and VHS.

Or even like u say of Lee fighting I know there was more and I just hope this 4k will show it ans if not it’s a disappointment of Lee fans and Warner Bros made Lee look bad.

The bey Logan ETD doc was broadcast on a shit UK channel called CNX. Lalo Schifrin is 103 years old mate prob doesn’t wanna chat about it ha. I want UHD Dolby vision HDR ETD like arrows release. When they do 8k versions people will get excited about that too, but they ain’t gonna look any better. The arrow / criterion sets are as good as these films are ever gonna look. I’m grateful myself, what do people expect, that ancient films are just gonna keep getting better looking when source is so shit. 8k - 20k won’t make any diff ha. Loads of extra material according to Bey Logan has been sat on by greedy private collectors and Raymond chow for years. I think most of what’s talked about is utter bullshit and rumours sadly. Like that HK colour chat show/ demo he did for typhoon relief, that would be amazing to see also. As long as the new ETD is a fab image like arrow I’m happy, hopefully they won’t balls you the colour like last time, dreadful over saturated image, truly awful. Not expecting any extras on it, nothing major anyways. If there is that’s a bonus. Am sure I heard BL real voice on a doc once saying the monk lines!!!!!!! But think it was recorded over a phone call or something. Also am 90% sure ETD was filmed with no sound dude I’m afraid, it was dubbed later on, same place/ building where BL passed out in the toilet one time!!
