Thank you and glad you enjoyed the show. Thanks for commenting it subscribing to the channel and see you on Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short. Enjoy it and have a wonderful weekend.
Hector martinez is a real collector. I don’t care about the modern items, it’s the old school items that we grew up with that matter and Hecr is the pioneer and the one that started this style of collecting. I know him for 27 years and he was doing this first.
Totally agree! I prefer the vintage items as well and that is what most of my collection is about as well! Peace and nice to meet you! Thanks for your support! Enjoy your weekend!
Amazing Episode Indeed! Fascinating looking at 16mm and 35mm ETD! You two are truly next level all things Bruce Lee collectors! So entertaining to watch and informative! Love it! Thanx alot guys! ❤❤💯
Enter the Dragon 25th also had the dvd version large box and small box version. Those I have. Japan released the large box on laserdisc with the extras as well. ( That I don't have). If I was in NY I'd gladly attend. Excellent video and great memories.🤔😊💯
Elias yes it is! The best around! Glad you enjoyed the show brother and have a great weekend and see you on Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short! Be well!

Hi Charles & Hector. Fantastic video. 👍I remember seeing enter the dragon back in 1973 . I live at the time in the lower east side. At Columbia Street and Houston Street. I watch enter the dragon at the loew's delancey movie theater. My first copy of enter the dragon was BETAMAX , then VHS and super 8mm. After that, I got the RCA laster disc, then Panasonic laster disc and DVD, Blu -ray , and 4k. . I still have my collection except for the enter the dragon beta max. Again great video. Enjoy your weekend my friend's
Tony 59 films, Thank you! Wow the lower east side as well! I was on 12street between ave A & B. Been to Loews Delancey many times. Glad to hear you still have all your Enter the Dragon formats!

A classic all the fight scenes hold their own even today. And Bruce’s charisma pours off the screen. When my brother-in-law showed me this movie 🎥 I was amazed ✌️🤩

Great job guys as always. I have a copy of ETD on VCD. This video CD 2 discs set was produced by Media Asia Hong Kong in the late 90’s early 00’s. It is beautifully packaged.
Fantastic Enter The Dragon videos and flicks. Fantastic show and fantastic hosts. What a wonderful trip down memory lane with all your amazing collection Hector. The box set is one of my favourites plus others of course. “ Always first class “ gents. Thank you Charles and Hector, made my Friday special for sure. Great weekend all and see you real soon. ☝️✌️

What can I say but the enthusiasm and energy from you two is infectious. Every other person on UA-cam take note, this is how you present a show on Bruce. Pure genuine collectors who really know about Bruce and always bring something new, not like most others who just repeat what has already been said and then add their own often ridiculous claims just to get views. Honestly wish you guys were over here in the UK. Have a great weekend guys and thank you once again for bringing joy to the community.

Wow.. As I watch this Charles.. tell Hector I’m of the “younger generation” I’m catching up!! Hector’s incredible with his “stash” .. Wow ! I got a kick when Hector said, “In ‘73 .. when I had hair” 😜 I can only imagine what you two were up to through the years until today! Love this episode .. gave me a happy heart in the name of Bruce Lee! 💛🖤 I got a picture of my T on today! You’ll see! I’m not finished with the episode … stand by
I’m back! Wow Charles! Hector’s sitting on a gold mine! KaChing ! I loved when Hector commented on your great idea to buy more than one magazine; poster; or paperback book on Bruce Lee which I’m a happy recipient of some! 🤗 Thank you Charles! Truly enjoyed this episode!! Take care Charles & Hector! 🖤🤍
Joanne thanks and Glad you enjoyed the show! Have a great weekend and see you on Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short! Be well my friend! What a great ETD T-shirt! Glad you go one from Steve as well!
Same here I my father bought me a VHS player for my birthday when they were 1st available from their friend who was starting a video store. He paid 500.00 for it. As soon as I got it I shot down to the store and they ordered Way of the Dragon for me. It was 89.00. I was in heaven that I could own a Bruce Lee movie and watch it a million times. Most of my friends got to watch Bruce Lee for the first time at my house!
John thanks for sharing that great story! We all did the same thing as kids. Bruce was a big inspiration i all our lives and even today! Thanks and glad you enjoyed the show and see you Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short! Have a great weekend and thank you for your support by subscribing to the channel! 😊😊👍👍✌✌🙏🙏
We did the same thing. But what my friend's and I did, was rent all four of his films on betamax, yes betamax. Then we hooked our video recorders together and copied all four films, they came out perfect quality, we were the original bootlegers, I still have the footage to this day, I transferred it to DVD.

I think I owned almost every format of this movie released. I feel lucky to have watched 3 versions of Enter The Dragon in theatre, the heavily censored version with various wide angle shots not seen in the latter movies, the theatrical cut and finally the special uncut version. The heavily censored version of ETD is my favorite of the theatre releases, even though the entire kali stick scene was censored and cut from the movie, we got to see the fight scene at the entrance to the elevator shown in a wide panoramic angle where you could see everything Bruce Lee was doing. Great stuff guys!
Tere wow I would love to see that white green panoramic version of Bruce fighting the guards at the elevator. I’ve seen some photos but never video of it. glad you enjoyed the show. Have a wonderful weekend and see you on Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short. Enjoy my friend and be well.
I have the super 8 of the making of ETD and Bruce Lee's screen test. Got them in 1978. Still have my projector it still works! BTW, my friends and I took our Super 8 camera in the State Theater in L.A. and filmed Chinese Connection's fight scenes.
Rico that is great to hear. I still have my super 8mm projector as well! Man thanks for sharing! Do you still have the fight scenes you filmed?

Hey thanks. Unfortunately the footage we shot is long gone, tossed out by my friend's brother when they moved way back in the 80's. Just like the Henry Wong ETD footage.
I will be there for sure Charles looking in! Going to be fun and enjoyable seeing the goodies you guys have in store for us. Having fun collecting! Be well and see you tomorrow morning.🙂👍 Goodnight 👊🏼

What a hell of a collection. The film is so iconic. I was born in 78, yet i was introduced to Enter The Dragon early in my life as it was and still is the only film my father has ever seen twice at the cinema. I was lucky enough to see it on the big screen last year for the 50th. My favourite release is still the 98 vhs box set. Getting to see it uncut finally was awesome..Great video guys👍🏻👍🏻
Wayne thanks for sharing your story and glad you were able to see you twice with your dad. I love the 98 uncut version as well. Thanks for commenting and subscribing to the channel and continued enjoyment on the channel. glad you enjoyed the show. Have a wonderful weekend and see you on Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short. Enjoy my friend and be well.
Awesome collection Hector and Charleeeeee thanks for trip down memory lane ENTER THE DRAGON 🐉 is my favourite movie to guys thanks again HECTOR And CHARLES
Peter you’re welcome my friend and glad you enjoyed the show. Have a wonderful weekend and see you on Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short. Enjoy my friend and be well.
Great explanation of the various formats that Enter the Dragon has been distributed in over the years. The sad fact is that apart from the extra scenes with the monk, (and nunchuks for us over here in the UK) the film mostly the same. It would be nice if Warner Bros eventually released some alternate takes or anything else they have on Bruce. Still after 50 years, Enter the Dragon not only remains masterpiece. But also the greatest martial arts film ever.😁🙏🎥🎞📼📽🐉
JW thanks brother! Not sure they have anything else available. Hear most ended up in the trash! :( But David Taddman's and Antonio Saxons new book and Doc should give us new footage we have not seen from ETD! More to come!

Hi Charles! Hi Hector! I'll bring the popcorn machine! Listen this will be epic! Of course I'll be there! 50 or 60 bucks per person you should charge. Double feature, listen you spend that on a dinner nowadays. Hector my man you brought us down a historical journey on this particular film. From 4K,Laser disc,VHS, Betamax, Super 8, 16mm, 35mm on the one and only Enter the Dragon! So fascinating to see that you own them, and share with us the history and trailers! Gentlemen I don't know anyone else out there who does this, make it so no 1, we only live once. I'll be waiting!🙏🎥🎥👏👏👏👏🎥👍👊
Luis, we will keep you posted and thank you so much for your support and breaking that down. Yes it would be about $40-$60 per person for this double feature but may be worth it. So glad you came down this historical ride with us on the different formats that came out throughout the years on Enter The Dragon he did an incredible job, pulling everything out of his collection and glad we were able to pull this out for you and the fans as always thanks for your support brother.

Haha, Thanks for the shout out guys 👍Awesome episode. What a collection of Enter the Dragon film formats (I'm blown away) I agree Betamax was a better picture than VHS, that's because the tape ran faster (I think). Why VHS won the format wars, I'm not sure. Have an amazing weekend fellas & thanks again, this was great 👍
StripeyR you are very welcome brother! Well deserved shout out! From what I have been reading in the comments VHS was cheaper to put out and become the format of choice amongst the consumers as more owned VHS players and VHS tapes! Glad you enjoyed the show and see you Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short! Have a great weekend and thank you for your continued support!! 😊😊👍👍✌✌🙏🙏
The simple answer why VHS "won" was it was cheaper. Both the tapes and the player..and keep in mind the first VHS players were around $1500! The betamax players were $2500. So simple economics. Also what limited amount of films there were available, there were more were released on VHS format than Betamax. It was pretty clear from the get-go VHS would dominate.
@@GINKBB Thanks for the update and clarity on that! Appreciate you! Glad you enjoyed the show and Have a great weekend and see you on Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short! Be well!
Hi Charles, hi Hector! OMG, i can't believe my eyes are actually seeing some of Hectors' collection ! It's truly AMAZING! ❤ All of those different formats of ETD, blows my mind 💥Thank you for sharing, both! Forever grateful Michelle.H x
The reason betamax lost to vhs was because of the recording time on vhs was greater than that of betamax. I believe betamax only had an hour of recording time where as vhs was 3 hours. And people wanted to record full movies, and back in the day, betamax couldn't provide that and eventually lost the format war to vhs. Great video. I have every format also, and also every version ever released in the UK, including the very hard to find now PSP. love you guys keep up the great content, and shout out to stripey rambles, love his channel also.
Thanks, brother appreciate you commenting and subscribing to the channel. We love Stripey rambles as well. He has a great channel and is a great guy. Glad to hear you have all the different formats and the PSP format is amazing as well thanks for the kind words continued enjoyment on the channel.

Hi Charles, Outstanding Episode. Hector, is Unbelievable with all of the format collection of Enter the Dragon. I must say I am a Dinosaur also. I still have my VHS, Beta and Laser Discs machines. Myself and Hector had went to Mr. Baker class he earlier and myself later. I had sent you an Email on what I saw of trailers and deleted scene that Baker had. He had the teaser trailer for the Chinese Connection and a teaser trailer for Champion of Death with Sonny Chiba. Sadly they rob alot of his films. I was told it was a student that was upset cause Mr. Baker Failed him in his class. Thanks for posting this, brang back Great Memories. Have a great weekend and Stay Safe buddy.

Charlie & Hector this is probably my favourite episode ever. Well done 👏 I loved it. I’m gonna share it and watch it again. Missed the first few minutes. Have a great weekend everyone 🙏🏼
Anton so great to hear it was your favorite episode. We put a light of time and effort into this one over 50 minutes long. Thanks for sharing it and watching it again we covered a lot and sometimes it needs to be watched two times to get everything. Thanks for all your support. Have a wonderful weekend and see you on Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short you were my friend and talk soon.
@@CharlesDamianoBLC I can tell that episode took a lot of work Charlie. Who doesn't want 50 minutes of 'Enter The Dragon' greatness. I'll watch it again later once the kids are asleep. Have a great weekend. Will be watching 'The Crow' on Tuesday. Can't wait.
Beta tapes originally were only 60-120 minutes. I bought my first machine on credit while still in high school and it cost $999. It had no remote and “piano keys”. It was very clunky and the tape was inserted from above. It was a cumbersome set up. Lots of moving parts and easily broken or damaged. After a few years, they came out with 180 min tapes. But the slower recording speed reduced the quality of the overall picture. Beta was doomed from the start. Although it was a much superior product, people flocked to the VHS because you could get six hours on a tape. People were happy with Inferior picture just to get the longer tapes. When I was stationed overseas in Germany, I bought a Super Beta hi-fi machine. It was state of the art at the time and cost $600 in the Base Exchange. I used it for 20 years. The hi-fi recordings were AMAZING. I even recorded my CDs onto Beta for super long party tapes. I probably had 500 movies that were either store-bought factory produced or recorded off of HBO, Showtime, etc. I received my first copy of Enter the Dragon on Valentine’s Day 1980. It arrived very late for a Christmas present. My dad had ordered through the mail. I worked in a cotton mill from 8pm to midnight Mon-Sat and he gave me the tape BEFORE work. Before I left the house, he turned on the TV and pushed play. As soon as I heard the iconic opening notes from the soundtrack I knew what the film was. We watched the Temple fight with Sammo Hung then shut it off so I wouldn’t be late for work. As I have commented on this channel previously, I have Enter the Dragon on Beta, three VHS versions including the 1998 25th Anniversary Big Box Set , multiple DVD versions, digital and Blu-ray. I even HAD (and May still have if we can find it) a 16mm film version of excerpts including Temple fight, banquet, all the tournaments rounds except O’Hara, the underground caverns, the big brawl on the courtyard and the Hall of Mirrors. I still have the film can but have no idea where the print is since my father passed in 2019. But, like Hector, Chinese Connection/Fist of Fury will always be my favorite.
Britt wow cool story thanks for sharing $1000 for the beta machine back in the day. I remember those days well. I bet you couldn’t wait to get home to watch Enter The Dragon on your beta Max machine in great high definition, quality and sound. Thanks for commenting and appreciate your support on the channel. You sound like you have a great Enter The Dragon collection as well have a wonderful weekend and see you on Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short and then again next Friday for the next Bruce Lee episode be well, my friend and thanks again.

Nice trip down memory lane here, guys! I first owned a (bootleg) copy of ETD on betamax, then VHS, laserdisc, dvd, blu-ray (repeatedly), & , finally, 4K. One improvement in home video formats you guys only briefly touched on here was the widescreen format. As I recall, I didn't get ETD in it's correct widescreen format until sometime in the 90s, before that your only option was pan & scan (or cropped & chopped, as I thought of it) which cut off what seemed like a full third of the original picture! Younger fans don't know how good they have it as far as the quality & easy availability of home video now commonly available is concerned! That said, I do kind of miss the treasure hunting aspect of finding Bruce Lee stuff in the pre-internet era, a combination of luck & knowing where to look were required much more then, but that was part of the fun! One question regarding the 35 millimeter print of Rapid Fire Hector has; is it in 2:35 or 1:78 screen aspect ratio? I'm curious because the dvd & blu-ray of Rapid are in 1:78 format, but the trailer is in 2:35 (the wider of the two widescreen formats), I've always wondered why the movie isn't available in it's apparent original picture format?
Thank you my friend. Thanks for sharing your story and experiences! Yes I miss the hinting aspect also pre-internet! Glad you enjoyed the show and Have a great weekend and see you on Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short! Be well!

Thank you kindly! Glad you enjoyed the show and appreciate you commenting and subscribing to the channel. Thank you for the support. By the way, how and when will you first introduced Bruce Lee? See you tomorrow for my new Bruce Lee episode. Be well and enjoy.
That is correct. It sounds like you visited his store frequently. You still have your original movie posted from 1974? Glad you enjoyed the show. Thanks for commenting and subscribing. Have a wonderful weekend and see you on Tuesday for my new preschool short my friend.
Wow just wow great episode .did you skip dvd of enter the dragon ? .there nothing beats watching films in theaters .i gt 25 boxset it had dvd and vhs in it col
Thanks we did the DVD first! Yep nothing beats ETD! Glad you enjoyed the show! See you on Tuesday for my next Bruce Lee short! Enjoy and have a great Sunday!
Looking forward to it. quick question Charles, Is the original theatrical cut of ETD only available in the Criterion Box and the UHD Warner Bros 50th Anniversary release? Thank you!
@@CharlesDamianoBLC thanks Charles. I only have the Criterion Box...not the UHD....its funny, on my Apple TV they changed what was previously the "20th Anniversary" cut, with the extra footage to the Original, which I much prefer. See you on Friday.
It is a Steve Walling special! The Bruce Lee Artist I interviewed on my channel made it. Glad you like it! And glad you enjoyed the show. Have a wonderful weekend and see you on Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short. Enjoy my friend and be well.
Side note/question...any info on why the ETD poster art and art used on the US soundtrack release is different? On the LP HAN is more recognizable and 3/4 view, looking to the left, where-as on the original poster hes full face and with a scarier expression.
My buddy and I tried to take the ETD full color lobby cards from the State Theater 1977, but they were stapled inside the frame, so we had to abort the mission.
Rico hahahaah what we did as kids! Funny stuff! I tried taking off signs from the subway walls of Bruce Lee movies at that time but always had them in place with too much glues so could not get them off... LOL
Love to be in NY for them screenings 😊 That Betamax tape be worth wayyyy more than the VHS is, I collect Betamax as I had that format first. One thing is I don't know if there is a Video 2000 release of Enter The Dragon? I had a school mate here in the UK who had that format and we watched so many ninja movies on it, some I can remember you had to turn the tape over half way through the movie like a Laserdisc 😅
Very cool! That is correct. Thanks for sharing the information. Glad you enjoyed the episode. Continued enjoying on the channel. See you on Friday for my new Lee video! Enjoy!
Good morning sensei Charles san. Have you heard that Bruce Lee was challenged and beaten by Travador Ramos on 1972 Hong Kong? Bruce Lee wanted Travador to play Mr Han in " Enter the dragon" but turned it down.
VHS won over beta simply because VHS beat beta on home movies. In the uk I don't even remember rental films coming out on beta. So that's it home movies on VHS beat beta
Reload thanks for sharing that that is probably why Beta did not stay around very long. VHS was just a much more popular format that everyone was purchasing at the time so eventually they just disappeared. Glad you enjoyed the show. Thanks for commenting. Have a wonderful weekend and see you on Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short, my friend
I had a Beta machine in Scotland 1979 . They were more expensive as were the tapes but far superior quality . Vhs was cheap to mass produce and the rest is history
@@Hamicus63 Great points and thanks for sharing your thoughts! Glad you enjoyed the show and see you Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short! Have a great weekend and thank you for your support by subscribing to the channel! 😊😊👍👍✌✌🙏🙏
i saw it at the 86 st cinema on the weekend of august 25 of 1973, I was hoping ENTER THE DRAGON would end up on national television maybe ABC or NBC but it never happened the first television the first time Enter appeared was Wpix tv channel 11, I used to talk to network people about it and exective people about it and i always got the same answer, theres not enough appeal for it, and i was very dissapointed when ABC did nothing this was when I was in show business
Wow, you saw it in 1973 similar to myself you must be around the same age. I was hoping it would be on TV as well but it never aired so I had to wait for it to come out on VHS when I got that I played that over and over again. Glad you enjoyed the show. See you on Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short Enjoy.
@@saundragibbs7245 glad you enjoyed the episode. See you Friday for my new Bruce Lee video and please check out today’s Bruce Lee short enjoy and have a great rest of the week.
Uh, where are the green & the yellow VHS versions from the mid 80s & 90's respectively? The plastic green box had a photo in the cover of Bruce shirtless taken between the shots of the Big Battle sequence while the yellow box is exactly like the black box VHS with the movie poster except that instead of the box being black is yellow.
Thanks for sharing you thoughts. Those are great collectibles you mentioned.We were not covering all the collectibles on ETD but just giving example of the formats it came out on. I have the green box VHS and it is a beauty. Do you have that one as well?
@@CharlesDamianoBLC I used to have both VHS I mentioned. Unfortunately, when I donated all my VHS movies collection (over 250 tapes) those two also were among them and it was too late after I realized my mistake.
@@priestpega understood who did you donate your collection to that was very nice of you. I guess there comes a time where we all will be parting with our collection or leaving it to our kids. Have a wonderful fourth and be well.
@@CharlesDamianoBLC I donated my VHS movie collection (along with the VCR player) to a Mental Health Residential facility so their patients could enjoy great movies since they had no cable tv and were watching just the news and soap operas.
Thanks for sharing all the great information with the fans and myself. Appreciate you getting the fax together. Glad you enjoyed the show and see you tomorrow for my new Bruce Lee short be well, my friend and thanks again.
@@inatrance92SKthank you! See you on Friday for my new Bruce Lee episode. Thanks for subscribing. Appreciate the support. Have a great rest of the week and be well.
Yes and too expensive and max recoding time on 90 minutes as opposed to VHS can record up to 6 hours! And vhs had most of the market share so beta eventually went it of business. Thanks

Hector martinez is a real collector. I don’t care about the modern items, it’s the old school items that we grew up with that matter and Hecr is the pioneer and the one that started this style of collecting. I know him for 27 years and he was doing this first.
Totally agree! I prefer the vintage items as well and that is what most of my collection is about as well! Peace and nice to meet you! Thanks for your support! Enjoy your weekend!
Yet to see,believe it would be awesome.🎉❤
Charles,Hector🙏

An episode right up my alley, with everything from old school medium up to the present. Hector you lucky guy, there were some things I would love to have. Now, if you would do the same with Return of the Dragon.
Cozetta thank you and glad you enjoyed. Hector presented some unbelievable collectibles on all the formats that came out on Enter The Dragon. We knew you would love this episode.

Hi Charles & Hector. Fantastic video. 👍I remember seeing enter the dragon back in 1973 . I live at the time in the lower east side. At Columbia Street and Houston Street. I watch enter the dragon at the loew's delancey movie theater. My first copy of enter the dragon was BETAMAX , then VHS and super 8mm. After that, I got the RCA laster disc, then Panasonic laster disc and DVD, Blu -ray , and 4k. . I still have my collection except for the enter the dragon beta max. Again great video. Enjoy your weekend my friend's
Tony 59 films, Thank you! Wow the lower east side as well! I was on 12street between ave A & B. Been to Loews Delancey many times. Glad to hear you still have all your Enter the Dragon formats!

@@robertduff9058 great see you then my friend!
What can I say but the enthusiasm and energy from you two is infectious. Every other person on UA-cam take note, this is how you present a show on Bruce. Pure genuine collectors who really know about Bruce and always bring something new, not like most others who just repeat what has already been said and then add their own often ridiculous claims just to get views.
Honestly wish you guys were over here in the UK. Have a great weekend guys and thank you once again for bringing joy to the community.

Wow.. As I watch this Charles.. tell Hector I’m of the “younger generation” I’m catching up!!
Hector’s incredible with his “stash” .. Wow !
I got a kick when Hector said, “In ‘73 .. when I had hair” 😜
I can only imagine what you two were up to through the years until today!
Love this episode .. gave me a happy heart in the name of Bruce Lee! 💛🖤
I got a picture of my T on today!
You’ll see! I’m not finished with the episode … stand by
I’m back!
Wow Charles! Hector’s sitting on a gold mine! KaChing !
I loved when Hector commented on your great idea to buy more than one magazine; poster; or paperback book on Bruce Lee which I’m a happy recipient of some! 🤗 Thank you Charles! Truly enjoyed this episode!!
Take care Charles & Hector! 🖤🤍
Joanne thanks and Glad you enjoyed the show! Have a great weekend and see you on Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short! Be well my friend! What a great ETD T-shirt! Glad you go one from Steve as well!
Same here I my father bought me a VHS player for my birthday when they were 1st available from their friend who was starting a video store. He paid 500.00 for it. As soon as I got it I shot down to the store and they ordered Way of the Dragon for me. It was 89.00. I was in heaven that I could own a Bruce Lee movie and watch it a million times. Most of my friends got to watch Bruce Lee for the first time at my house!
John thanks for sharing that great story! We all did the same thing as kids. Bruce was a big inspiration i all our lives and even today! Thanks and glad you enjoyed the show and see you Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short! Have a great weekend and thank you for your support by subscribing to the channel! 😊😊👍👍✌✌🙏🙏
We did the same thing. But what my friend's and I did, was rent all four of his films on betamax, yes betamax. Then we hooked our video recorders together and copied all four films, they came out perfect quality, we were the original bootlegers, I still have the footage to this day, I transferred it to DVD.
@@Rico-ow3ys hahahaha I remember those days well thanks for bringing me back down memory lane brother. Appreciate you Sharring. Enjoy your weekend and be well.

I think I owned almost every format of this movie released.
I feel lucky to have watched 3 versions of Enter The Dragon in theatre, the heavily censored version with various wide angle shots not seen in the latter movies, the theatrical cut and finally the special uncut version. The heavily censored version of ETD is my favorite of the theatre releases, even though the entire kali stick scene was censored and cut from the movie, we got to see the fight scene at the entrance to the elevator shown in a wide panoramic angle where you could see everything Bruce Lee was doing.
Great stuff guys!
Tere wow I would love to see that white green panoramic version of Bruce fighting the guards at the elevator. I’ve seen some photos but never video of it. glad you enjoyed the show. Have a wonderful weekend and see you on Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short. Enjoy my friend and be well.
I have the super 8 of the making of ETD and Bruce Lee's screen test. Got them in 1978. Still have my projector it still works! BTW, my friends and I took our Super 8 camera in the State Theater in L.A. and filmed Chinese Connection's fight scenes.
Rico that is great to hear. I still have my super 8mm projector as well! Man thanks for sharing! Do you still have the fight scenes you filmed?

Hey thanks. Unfortunately the footage we shot is long gone, tossed out by my friend's brother when they moved way back in the 80's. Just like the Henry Wong ETD footage.

What a hell of a collection. The film is so iconic. I was born in 78, yet i was introduced to Enter The Dragon early in my life as it was and still is the only film my father has ever seen twice at the cinema. I was lucky enough to see it on the big screen last year for the 50th. My favourite release is still the 98 vhs box set. Getting to see it uncut finally was awesome..Great video guys👍🏻👍🏻

Larry you will love it even more tomorrow! Enjoy and see you then!
Great explanation of the various formats that Enter the Dragon has been distributed in over the years. The sad fact is that apart from the extra scenes with the monk, (and nunchuks for us over here in the UK) the film mostly the same. It would be nice if Warner Bros eventually released some alternate takes or anything else they have on Bruce. Still after 50 years, Enter the Dragon not only remains masterpiece. But also the greatest martial arts film ever.😁🙏🎥🎞📼📽🐉
JW thanks brother! Not sure they have anything else available. Hear most ended up in the trash! :( But David Taddman's and Antonio Saxons new book and Doc should give us new footage we have not seen from ETD! More to come!

Hi Charles! Hi Hector! I'll bring the popcorn machine! Listen this will be epic! Of course I'll be there! 50 or 60 bucks per person you should charge. Double feature, listen you spend that on a dinner nowadays. Hector my man you brought us down a historical journey on this particular film. From 4K,Laser disc,VHS, Betamax, Super 8, 16mm, 35mm on the one and only Enter the Dragon! So fascinating to see that you own them, and share with us the history and trailers! Gentlemen I don't know anyone else out there who does this, make it so no 1, we only live once. I'll be waiting!🙏🎥🎥👏👏👏👏🎥👍👊
Luis, we will keep you posted and thank you so much for your support and breaking that down. Yes it would be about $40-$60 per person for this double feature but may be worth it. So glad you came down this historical ride with us on the different formats that came out throughout the years on Enter The Dragon he did an incredible job, pulling everything out of his collection and glad we were able to pull this out for you and the fans as always thanks for your support brother. Have a wonderful weekend and see you on Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short, be my friend. Have a great evening.

Peter thank you you brother! Hector always has a few surprises up his sleeve! LOL I knew you had goodies in your collection as well! Love your collection! have fun collecting brother! Glad you enjoyed the show and see you Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short! Have a great weekend and thank you for your continued support! 😊😊👍👍✌✌🙏🙏
Excellent Charles keep the legend of the master alive & well be well my friend 🐉👊
Cheng Fu always my friend! See you tomorrow! Enjoy!
Haha, Thanks for the shout out guys 👍Awesome episode. What a collection of Enter the Dragon film formats (I'm blown away)
I agree Betamax was a better picture than VHS, that's because the tape ran faster (I think). Why VHS won the format wars, I'm not sure.
Have an amazing weekend fellas & thanks again, this was great 👍
StripeyR you are very welcome brother! Well deserved shout out! From what I have been reading in the comments VHS was cheaper to put out and become the format of choice amongst the consumers as more owned VHS players and VHS tapes! Glad you enjoyed the show and see you Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short! Have a great weekend and thank you for your continued support!! 😊😊👍👍✌✌🙏🙏
The simple answer why VHS "won" was it was cheaper. Both the tapes and the player..and keep in mind the first VHS players were around $1500! The betamax players were $2500. So simple economics. Also what limited amount of films there were available, there were more were released on VHS format than Betamax. It was pretty clear from the get-go VHS would dominate.
@@GINKBB Thanks for the update and clarity on that! Appreciate you! Glad you enjoyed the show and Have a great weekend and see you on Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short! Be well!
Hi Charles, hi Hector! OMG, i can't believe my eyes are actually seeing
some of Hectors' collection ! It's truly AMAZING! ❤ All of those different formats of ETD, blows my mind 💥Thank you for sharing, both! Forever grateful Michelle.H x
Michelle yep he has an amazing collection! Glad you enjoyed the show and see you Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short! Have a great weekend! Be well!
The reason betamax lost to vhs was because of the recording time on vhs was greater than that of betamax. I believe betamax only had an hour of recording time where as vhs was 3 hours. And people wanted to record full movies, and back in the day, betamax couldn't provide that and eventually lost the format war to vhs. Great video. I have every format also, and also every version ever released in the UK, including the very hard to find now PSP. love you guys keep up the great content, and shout out to stripey rambles, love his channel also.
Thanks, brother appreciate you commenting and subscribing to the channel. We love Stripey rambles as well. He has a great channel and is a great guy. Glad to hear you have all the different formats and the PSP format is amazing as well thanks for the kind words continued enjoyment on the channel. Have a wonderful weekend and see you on Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short thanks again and be well, my friend.
Hi Charles, Outstanding Episode. Hector, is Unbelievable with all of the format collection of Enter the Dragon. I must say I am a Dinosaur also. I still have my VHS, Beta and Laser Discs machines. Myself and Hector had went to Mr. Baker class he earlier and myself later. I had sent you an Email on what I saw of trailers and deleted scene that Baker had. He had the teaser trailer for the Chinese Connection and a teaser trailer for Champion of Death with Sonny Chiba. Sadly they rob alot of his films. I was told it was a student that was upset cause Mr. Baker Failed him in his class. Thanks for posting this, brang back Great Memories. Have a great weekend and Stay Safe buddy.

Charlie & Hector this is probably my favourite episode ever. Well done 👏 I loved it. I’m gonna share it and watch it again. Missed the first few minutes. Have a great weekend everyone 🙏🏼
Anton so great to hear it was your favorite episode. We put a light of time and effort into this one over 50 minutes long. Thanks for sharing it and watching it again we covered a lot and sometimes it needs to be watched two times to get everything. Thanks for all your support. Have a wonderful weekend and see you on Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short you were my friend and talk soon.
Antony, I hope you enjoy your weekend as well. It was good chatting with you, take care! ♥️🙏
@@CharlesDamianoBLC I can tell that episode took a lot of work Charlie. Who doesn't want 50 minutes of 'Enter The Dragon' greatness. I'll watch it again later once the kids are asleep. Have a great weekend. Will be watching 'The Crow' on Tuesday. Can't wait.
@@firefury6053 Always a pleasure. Have a great weekend 🙏
@@30plusfitnesstv Thanks brother it did! Enjoy the Crow it was amazing on the big screen we had a blast! I will be putting an episode on it soon.
Beta tapes originally were only 60-120 minutes. I bought my first machine on credit while still in high school and it cost $999. It had no remote and “piano keys”. It was very clunky and the tape was inserted from above. It was a cumbersome set up. Lots of moving parts and easily broken or damaged. After a few years, they came out with 180 min tapes. But the slower recording speed reduced the quality of the overall picture. Beta was doomed from the start. Although it was a much superior product, people flocked to the VHS because you could get six hours on a tape. People were happy with Inferior picture just to get the longer tapes. When I was stationed overseas in Germany, I bought a Super Beta hi-fi machine. It was state of the art at the time and cost $600 in the Base Exchange. I used it for 20 years. The hi-fi recordings were AMAZING. I even recorded my CDs onto Beta for super long party tapes. I probably had 500 movies that were either store-bought factory produced or recorded off of HBO, Showtime, etc. I received my first copy of Enter the Dragon on Valentine’s Day 1980. It arrived very late for a Christmas present. My dad had ordered through the mail. I worked in a cotton mill from 8pm to midnight Mon-Sat and he gave me the tape BEFORE work. Before I left the house, he turned on the TV and pushed play. As soon as I heard the iconic opening notes from the soundtrack I knew what the film was. We watched the Temple fight with Sammo Hung then shut it off so I wouldn’t be late for work. As I have commented on this channel previously, I have Enter the Dragon on Beta, three VHS versions including the 1998 25th Anniversary Big Box Set , multiple DVD versions, digital and Blu-ray. I even HAD (and May still have if we can find it) a 16mm film version of excerpts including Temple fight, banquet, all the tournaments rounds except O’Hara, the underground caverns, the big brawl on the courtyard and the Hall of Mirrors. I still have the film can but have no idea where the print is since my father passed in 2019. But, like Hector, Chinese Connection/Fist of Fury will always be my favorite.
Britt wow cool story thanks for sharing $1000 for the beta machine back in the day. I remember those days well. I bet you couldn’t wait to get home to watch Enter The Dragon on your beta Max machine in great high definition, quality and sound. Thanks for commenting and appreciate your support on the channel. You sound like you have a great Enter The Dragon collection as well have a wonderful weekend and see you on Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short and then again next Friday for the next Bruce Lee episode be well, my friend and thanks again.
Thanks Charlie! I went back and edited my comment with more stuff I just thought of. Check it out.

@@CharlesDamianoBLC That sounds so amazing, for Brandon bless his soul, I also been buying more Brandon and Crow items with the film back on the big screen. 😁

Nice trip down memory lane here, guys! I first owned a (bootleg) copy of ETD on betamax, then VHS, laserdisc, dvd, blu-ray (repeatedly), & , finally, 4K. One improvement in home video formats you guys only briefly touched on here was the widescreen format. As I recall, I didn't get ETD in it's correct widescreen format until sometime in the 90s, before that your only option was pan & scan (or cropped & chopped, as I thought of it) which cut off what seemed like a full third of the original picture! Younger fans don't know how good they have it as far as the quality & easy availability of home video now commonly available is concerned! That said, I do kind of miss the treasure hunting aspect of finding Bruce Lee stuff in the pre-internet era, a combination of luck & knowing where to look were required much more then, but that was part of the fun!
One question regarding the 35 millimeter print of Rapid Fire Hector has; is it in 2:35 or 1:78 screen aspect ratio? I'm curious because the dvd & blu-ray of Rapid are in 1:78 format, but the trailer is in 2:35 (the wider of the two widescreen formats), I've always wondered why the movie isn't available in it's apparent original picture format?
Thank you my friend. Thanks for sharing your story and experiences! Yes I miss the hinting aspect also pre-internet! Glad you enjoyed the show and Have a great weekend and see you on Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short! Be well!
Bruce Lee's HK version of Enter is the later released print that WB enhanced and those extra scenes weren't reinserted, its the remastered HK version.
Got to pick that one up! Thanks for sharing! Glad you enjoyed! Have a great weekend and see you Tuesday for my next Bruce Lee short! Enjoy!

Looking forward to it. quick question Charles, Is the original theatrical cut of ETD only available in the Criterion Box and the UHD Warner Bros 50th Anniversary release? Thank you!
I think it may be on both. See you Friday my friend! Enjoy!
@@CharlesDamianoBLC thanks Charles. I only have the Criterion Box...not the UHD....its funny, on my Apple TV they changed what was previously the "20th Anniversary" cut, with the extra footage to the Original, which I much prefer. See you on Friday.

Side note/question...any info on why the ETD poster art and art used on the US soundtrack release is different? On the LP HAN is more recognizable and 3/4 view, looking to the left, where-as on the original poster hes full face and with a scarier expression.
Not too sure but great question!
My buddy and I tried to take the ETD full color lobby cards from the State Theater 1977, but they were stapled inside the frame, so we had to abort the mission.
Rico hahahaah what we did as kids! Funny stuff! I tried taking off signs from the subway walls of Bruce Lee movies at that time but always had them in place with too much glues so could not get them off... LOL
@@CharlesDamianoBLC Yes! So I wasn't the only one trying to "Borrow" Bruce Lee pics from the streets. Good times.
@@Rico-ow3ysyou know it! Lol
Love to be in NY for them screenings 😊 That Betamax tape be worth wayyyy more than the VHS is, I collect Betamax as I had that format first. One thing is I don't know if there is a Video 2000 release of Enter The Dragon? I had a school mate here in the UK who had that format and we watched so many ninja movies on it, some I can remember you had to turn the tape over half way through the movie like a Laserdisc 😅
Very cool! That is correct. Thanks for sharing the information. Glad you enjoyed the episode. Continued enjoying on the channel. See you on Friday for my new Lee video! Enjoy!
VHS was much cheaper to produce so Beta was doomed despite the superior quality
Thanks for the information! Have a great weekend my friend!
Good morning sensei Charles san. Have you heard that Bruce Lee was challenged and beaten by Travador Ramos on 1972 Hong Kong? Bruce Lee wanted Travador to play Mr Han in " Enter the dragon" but turned it down.
Marvin did not hear about that! Thanks for sharing! See you tomorrow!
VHS won over beta simply because VHS beat beta on home movies. In the uk I don't even remember rental films coming out on beta. So that's it home movies on VHS beat beta
Reload thanks for sharing that that is probably why Beta did not stay around very long. VHS was just a much more popular format that everyone was purchasing at the time so eventually they just disappeared. Glad you enjoyed the show. Thanks for commenting. Have a wonderful weekend and see you on Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short, my friend
I had a Beta machine in Scotland 1979 . They were more expensive as were the tapes but far superior quality . Vhs was cheap to mass produce and the rest is history
@@Hamicus63 Great points and thanks for sharing your thoughts! Glad you enjoyed the show and see you Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short! Have a great weekend and thank you for your support by subscribing to the channel! 😊😊👍👍✌✌🙏🙏
i saw it at the 86 st cinema on the weekend of august 25 of 1973, I was hoping ENTER THE DRAGON would end up on national television maybe ABC or NBC but it never happened the first television the first time Enter appeared was Wpix tv channel 11, I used to talk to network people about it and exective people about it and i always got the same answer, theres not enough appeal for it, and i was very dissapointed when ABC did nothing this was when I was in show business
Wow, you saw it in 1973 similar to myself you must be around the same age. I was hoping it would be on TV as well but it never aired so I had to wait for it to come out on VHS when I got that I played that over and over again. Glad you enjoyed the show. See you on Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short Enjoy.

Uh, where are the green & the yellow VHS versions from the mid 80s & 90's respectively? The plastic green box had a photo in the cover of Bruce shirtless taken between the shots of the Big Battle sequence while the yellow box is exactly like the black box VHS with the movie poster except that instead of the box being black is yellow.
Thanks for sharing you thoughts. Those are great collectibles you mentioned.We were not covering all the collectibles on ETD but just giving example of the formats it came out on. I have the green box VHS and it is a beauty. Do you have that one as well?
@@CharlesDamianoBLC I used to have both VHS I mentioned. Unfortunately, when I donated all my VHS movies collection (over 250 tapes) those two also were among them and it was too late after I realized my mistake.

The reason why betamax never took off the beta machines too heavy to run
Yes and too expensive and max recoding time on 90 minutes as opposed to VHS can record up to 6 hours! And vhs had most of the market share so beta eventually went it of business. Thanks
from Japan VHD😂
