Thanks mate, I just put the camera on and went with it, didn't think I would have ended the review the way I did (the rough cut was 20mins so I took a lot out of the ending part) and I was surprised at how much it got to me talking about Bruce Lee 😔 after I had finished it, I took out the end music and thought, there's only one photo I could use! Tragic tale but we have his amazing but short career to watch forever now 👍👍 cheers for this great comment mate 😊😊
Hello John, Stripey has spoken candidly about your channel, we all enjoy Bruce Lee & i've sent a subscription as have enjoyed your content & reviews, all the best.
Hi Gary, thanks for watching the videos mate, and Stripey is a cracking bloke 🤩🤩👌👌 yeah can't have too much Bruce Lee in your life can you 😁😁 thanks again Gary 👍👍
Cheers Rob 🤩🤩👍👍can't get enough of Bruce Lee and I'm so glad his legend is still alive and he's still known....and probably getting better known as each year passes👌 thanks again Rob, appreciate you subscribing to the channel 🤩🤩👍👍
I love rewatchinng this movie with the hindsight of knowing all the kung fu legends who are supporting roles here but became big names in their own right. Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Lam Ching Ying, Yuen Wah. And the guy who dubbed Han's voice went on to be the old Mogwai owner in Gremlins (after a long career in Hollywood).
Great review John. Got home from work to my copy from the nice people at Amazon. Just got done watching it. Absolutely superb. Such an improvement over previous versions as you say. The audio was brilliant I thought. Totally new experience. Now to swap the disc into the Arrow/Golden Harvest box set 😁👍
Cheers Chrissy 🤩👍 yeah that Dolby mix is great isn't it!! 😲😲 wasn't expecting that at all mate 🤩🤩👍👍I'm still not sure if I'm going to swop out yet Chrissy 🤔🤔.....actually just had a crazy thought 😵💫🤔🤩 I might wait till the 4k is REALLY cheap then buy another one and put that in the Arrow one 😁 yep kind of nuts but I might just do that 🥴🤣🤣👍👍
Nice1 John. I've been a fan of this since I was a kid and my Dad let me stay up late on a school night to watch it (he'd always been a fan)...it blew me away at the time and I owned it on VHS, DVD and the 2007 Blu-ray (the one with the pinkish cover that only had the "special edition" on it). Watching it yesterday with this 4K release was amazing...the picture (especially, as you say, the colours) was a big upgrade from that 2007 Blu-ray and so was the sound quality...it looks and sounds fantastic on my system. I was also happy to have the theatrical cut and the included Blu-ray (different to my 2007 one). Sure, it would have been nice if they'd made a bit more effort in terms of it being the 50th anniversary and included a booklet or something but overall I think this is a top release 😀👍
Yeah TigerBlue 🤩🤩👍👍this version is amazing!! The elements might be a bit wonky at times (blurry shots) but film making in the 70s had plenty of them but I feel this release has really brought it to life! Could Arrow have done a better job....possibly 🤔 their in house people are second to non but as of today this is the definitive version for me 🤩🤩 good point about putting something a touch different in with the fact it's a 50th anniversary.....isn't it funny that 4ks from big companies are ALWAYS bare bones like that and companies like Arrow and 88 always are able to put something in their 4ks! 🤔😵💫😁😁 cheers for watching mate 🤩🤩👍👍
Arrow box set and this 4k are great, just finished Enter the Dragon. Loved the colours like you say, looking forward to watching the last few discs in the Arrow box
Yeah they have finally done Bruce Lee proud Rob 🤩🤩👍👍as soon as our shifts get in sync can't wait to check out the main movies in the Arrow set Rob!! 🤩🤩👍👍
Hi John. Paul here Just watched the 4k of enter the dragon. And agree the colours are better than the blu ray and sharper. But that's it for me with enter the dragon having gone from VHS to DVD to blu ray to now 4k. Won't buy a new version unless it contains new footage never before seen but I think that would have been found by now. Thanks Paul
Hi Paul 🤩🤩👍👍 yeah I'm the same, I think there is probably stuff in the vaults from Enter the dragon that could be restored or put out a restoration to someone else eg Arrow to maybe get it looking better but for now this is by far the best for me and like yourself it would have to be something special for me to buy it again 🤔🤩👍so with this and the Arrow box set, I think we have pretty much everything covered Paul 😀😀👌👌 cheers mate 🤩🤩👍👍
There Is another one coming In September. Comes with a Poster and some Photos, and cards just like the Arrow Box Set. It says It has 3 more minutes added to the film.
It's funny that they didn't release the special before the standard, as a lot of people will probably be picking this one up 🤔😊👍I think the 3 minutes is the longer cut that is on this disc....would love to think it's 3 brand new minutes but sadly I doubt that very much mate 😔 cheers for watching 🤩🤩👍👍
Hi, I remember when vhs video first appeared and walking into W.H.Smiths and seeing a small shelf of vhs movies for sale...inc' Enter The Dragon" ... only £89 .... Then video stores came out, and you could hire it out. Prices dropped, and I eventually bought it . [ Still got it ] I got the 1st dvd release later, then in 2001 bought the 2 disc Special Edition inc' "A Warriors Journey". Excellent picture and sound....and now within the new Blue Ray box set, I have the Blue Ray Edition. Not yet watched. 1st movie I wanted to watch was "Way of the Dragon", originally cut to pieces by the censors for years & years !! Basically a Martial Arts Movie will very liittle Martial Arts....Imagiine a War movie from WWII with armed soldiers and no action, or a Western with no gunfights ? "Almost a Gunfight at the Not Ok Coral". Just see the bodies lying on the ground, not knowing what happened ? That's what they practically did to Bruce Lee in that movie. The irony was "Fist of Fury" got away unscathed ... Nunchaku scenes not removed. Slow motion Samurai Sword falling through the back. Slow motion full force punch !! It escaped the censors but 'Way' didn't !!! I never understood the mind of these censors. People going to see a Kung Fu movie ... are expecting to see Kung Fu ...They are not going, then shocked .. Oh the violence ... I thought it was a Disney movie. [ Sorry ...Rant over .. Oh the frustration during those years ] I am looking forward to getting through this box set. Taking my time. I have no plans for 4K dvds. Very happy with my new Blue Ray Player ... and it says 4K on it. Lol Great review and as always, interesting information, thankyou ! Regards Jim
Thanks for your "warriors journey" Jim 😊👍👍the Bruce Lee titles have had such a crazy history in this country, I think that's another reason for us fans wanting the pinnacle of them because of the poor deals we have had in the past! I totally agree with you with Way of the Dragon, my first viewing was the hacked to pieces version, you could see there was a great movie in there but it was frustrating to get to the magical Bruce Lee fighting scenes and they jump and are edited in a way that you are "haaaangg on!!!!" 🤔🤔😵💫😵💫 that was by far the biggest revelation of all his movies for me Jim!!! I share your pain on this issue of crazy cuts and others not!! Great comment Jim 🤩🤩👍👍
Yeah I rate this one mate, best it will look as Warner probably won't go back to it again or let anyone else try remastering it, really pleased that both versions are in 4k!! 🤩 cheers for watching mate 😊😊👍👍
Cheers Dave, yeah love how this looks mate! I can see how Enter the Dragon is different to the Hong Kong movies Bruce made and not everyone can get away with them 🤔😊 cheers for watching Dave 🤩🤩👍👍
Great review. The 4k transfer is really good. The hdr adds extra depth to the picture as well. I definitely get what you're saying, this is the last Bruce Lee film to add to the collection. Wish Warners would have at least included some new features. Even a new commentary. Just lazy. No way to mark the 50th anniversary or show respect to this bonafide legend.
HDR is the star of this release for me Mig 🤩🤩👍👍kind of does feel like the end of a journey somewhat 😔 yeah they definitely should have done more.....even passed that over to Arrow Video to take care of 🤔 Arrow did their part with the amazing box set, shame Warner couldn't have followed suit! Let's hope they don't release these then do it Mig 🥴🥴 cheers for watching mate 🤩🤩👍👍
Dear John, I would be the same as yourself had I been talking about Brue Lee and you mentioning getting choked up as you did you made me start to choke up myself Bruce Lee was a Super Special human being a Mega Titan and a Wonderful person and the greatest of them All and even after 50th anniversary of his Terribly Tragic death and the genius of the man himself and the Fantastic iconic Enter the Dragon Legendary status guaranteed forever more!! you did him proud and Blessings to yourself and All True Bruce Lee fans All around the world. Bruce Lee has never been more hero worshipped than he is Now except in the 70s after his untimely death and it is Great that many fans are still idolizing the Super Legend that he will Always remain Bruce Lee was Almost a human Superman and Thank you for you're Heartfelt feelings you did the Legend Proud Best Wishes and Blessing's once again as Bruce used to end his writings: PEACE, BLESSING'S AND BROTHERHOOD ✌🙏❤
Hi Roy thanks for this great message, yeah I was just chatting about the movie and strayed onto how sad it was that the thing that Bruce struggled all his life to get was cruely snatched out of his hands! He was so close to achieving his dream!! Going down that route caught me off guard Roy!! 😔 I've obviously been watching a lot of Bruce Lee recently and one thing that's coming more over to me is how tragic his story was and all we can do is immerse ourselves in his amazing, but short, body of work!! Thanks Roy and yeah what a great way to sign off 😊😊😊👏👏👏
@@MondoChelloveckMovies Thank's John and I can't help But agree with you're sentiments as well Blessings to you and us dude's can feel choked if our feelings are strong about whatever it may be in this Life that stirs our emotions enough! Blessing's John ✌🙏❤
Thanks Roy, yeah as much as Bruce Lee's movies and philosophy have such a positive message, there is always the bittersweet side to his story that can't help stirring the emotions mate 😔 cheers again Roy 😊😊👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies Yea John I don't cry! went through all the levels of that emotion when I was younger I just never cry but having just stated that Bruce Lee's Tragic ending to such a Wonderful human being has brought me to tears at least once each year All the Best Pal and Kind Regards 🌟🙏❤
Cheers Mark, yeah talking about the timing of his passing just before the film opened and he missed all of the adulation he received was pretty heavy mate!! 😔😔 cheers for watching Mark 👍👍
hi john great vid mate when ever i think of that movie is a song called kungfuu fighting when it came out you could never get awayfrom it just seen dule is comeing to 4k love that movie hope you and the debs are well steve
Cheers Steve, haha yeah that song was fast as lightning 🤣🤣🤩🤩 it was a kind of Brucesploitation song wasn't it mate 😁😁 yeah Duel should look amazing in 4k mate 😊😊👍👍
Do you have Enter the Dragon already or is this a first time but Isabella? I think if I hadn't owned this movie so many times I would have gone for the special as its a lovely set 😊😊👍👍
Big boss my favourite Bruce Lee film. I won't be getting this John, lack of special features, don't think they have done the discs like arrow did. Besides all that, already got the uncut version of ETD. Thanks for the video John
Big Boss is a solid movie Jamie 😊😊👍👍yeah they could have stuck some new things on a separate disc mate 🥴 I would imagine most people would have a copy of Enter the Dragon in their collections Jamie, Imagine if Warner had added some exclusive extras on it.....they would have flown off the shelf mate 😁😁👍👍
I saw this in the theatre back in the day. At the time, the only Kung-Fu moves I had ever seen were the ones performed by David Carradine on the American TV show, Kung-Fu. And I only knew Bruce Lee from the Green Hornet TV show. Needless to say, I was absolutely amazed at how fast Bruce could move.
Great story, I'm probably the same by seeing the David Carradine TV series and it's slow motion fight scenes.......then Bruce Lee came along and BAM!!! changed the game big style Rob!! 😁😁👏👏
Thanks for the review. Does your version, which is the UK version I presume, have Dutch (Nederlands) subtitles on it? Would be great if you could confirm this.
@DEKOproducties hi mate can confirm the subtitles have Netherlands, Dansk, Norsk, Svenska on the 4k, I know that you only wanted Netherlands but that looks like it also supports the surrounding countries (pardon my lack of geographical knowledge mate 😵💫🤣) hope that helps mate 😊😊👍👍
Great review, John. nice to see some screenshots. I heard the picture wasn't great, but the sound was. I'm glad you clarify thats not the case. I actually cancelled my pre order, ive got it 3 times on Blu-Ray, and im just going through a phase of why do i have so many copies of the same film 😅. I will probably pick it up further down the line no rush as still waiting to open and delve into the Arrow set at the end of the month, cheers
Cheers Matt, no complaints from me about the picture quality mate, although I really would like to see how Arrow would have fared with it!! Personally I think their in house remastering team is one of the best out there 🤔 but sadly Warner have their stranglehold on this film 🥴 this is my 3rd copy in the collection for me and I'm kind of happy that buying the Bruce Lee main titles had finally come to an end (for now) after 30 plus years of picking them up time and time again...I do think I'm going to move into some Brucesploitation classics now abd hopefully some of the best examples get a good release 🤞🤞😁😁 yeah a great pick up in the sale Matt and this coupled together with the amazing Arrow set is a Bruce Lee fan's dream releases 😊😊👌👌
I only have duplicates if their are different cuts of the movie or if one disc has extras that the other one doesn't I ent one of those coklectors that has to have every release of every film just because of pretty artwork
I try not to double dip too much but some of the editions are really well done so I find myself picking them up Mark, probably I hope that a classic movie will eventually reach the 4k standard, so I get that one and I'm done 😁😁👍👍
Yeah Gary, I'm more than satisfied with this version mate....could Arrow have done better? 🤔 yeah I think they could for sure but Warner will never let this cash cow out of their hands will they 😵💫 cheers mate 🤩🤩👍👍
Great video John, just watched the 4k tonight it deffo looks the best it’s probably going to get, I was pleased I never seen any of the dreaded DNR lol .I don’t know if your planning on seeing it on the big screen but if you are they are showing it up in Hexham at the forum cinema on August 19th 7pm one night only they’ve only sold a handful of tickets so far maybe people are not as nostalgic as us lol. I was only 10 when it was out so I’m looking forward to seeing it on the big screen.
Thanks Dave, glad to know DNR hasn't been used at all, will be watching this real soon, when me and The Deb's shifts align 😵💫🤣 I would like to see this on the big screen 🤞🤞🤞 great heads up about Hexham, I've passed by that Cinema quite a few times before 😁 I've never seen anything of Bruce Lee on the Cinema, so it would be an amazing experience !!! Thanks again Dave 😊😊👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies Wei i could be a canny nite oot for you and the Debs there although when I offered to get my mrs a ticket it was a swift no lol. I can’t complain though as she’s bought me that arrow box set for my birthday in August so not all bad .I’m dying to open it up but have to wait until the big day !
I think Deborah would be up for it and it would be great if it happened 🤞🤞😁😁 well power to your wife for buying you the best boxset of the year so far mate 🤩🤩🤩👏👏👏
When I get a 4k with Dolby Vision I expect it to look darker but having an oled can sometimes help that, but an overly dark picture isn't great us it DBZ 😵💫😵💫👍👍
No it's not, John. I've really struggled to get an acceptable picture with the Arrow 4ks, but my player and TV are not Dolby Vision, so I think you're spot on with that being the issue.@@MondoChelloveckMovies
We’ve hit the pinnacle for the Bruce Lee films now John. If I upgrade to the 4K Arrow box set but the blu ray one I have now that I will be the last time I’ll buy the films on physical media. Had them on every format since video. Bittersweet moment. Got the ETD steel books coming in September. Was hoping the Blu-ray with the 4K would be the new transfer for both versions but I planned a head. Bought it on iTunes and got the free 4k upgrade yesterday. You get all the extras including the theatrical version (which looks like a bad upload to me. Can hear it but the pic is a glitch fest) Hopefully Warners / iTunes will sort asap because that’s my preferred version for sure.
We certainly have, it's great to have these in the highest format if you want to go to the 4k, shame to hear that download isn't great 😵💫😵💫 hopefully they will sort that one out mate 🤞🤞🤩🤩👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies I'm still in contact with Apple support trying to get the Theatrical version sorted. Apparently no one else has reported this issue yet. Might venture into the world of 4K for Christmas. My tv is in need of upgrade. So we'll see what Santa brings 😆
Great review John, Ive had mine pre ordered from Amazon since it was available but sadly there seems to be a delay and it wont arrive for another 2 weeks. However thanks to your review I can relax knowing its going to be worth the wait. Cheers mate 👍
Not feeling Warner using the thinner cases for the UK. They did it on National Lampoons vacation as well. Still awesome having this classic remastered and looking the best its ever looked though. Roll on The Exorcist next!
I think that'll be the way of things now with Warner mate 🤔😵💫 probably cheaper! But at least we can fit more on the shelves though 😀😀👍👍yeah I'm all for a classic movie from the vaults getting a polish up 😊😊👌👌 yeah The Exorcist should hopefully look amazing 🤞🤞🤩🤩 cheers for watching mate 😊😊👍👍
Hi John, I know this set is the UK release and I hope that Arrow will announce a U.S version in the future 🤞🤞 maybe because Criterion have put out a Bruce Lee set in America, Arrow might not be able to release it in America 🤔 you can import this set (with the red cover) but the blu rays are Region B locked unfortunately 🥴 hope you get sorted John 🤞🤩🤩👍👍
I would imagine you could John 🤔 not sure what models you would have in the US mate? I would look online and try and get an idea of what's out there, in the UK they don't sell them in the shops you have to get them online, hope you get sorted out John 😊😊👍👍
At least you got features on a disc. The US release has only the movie on the 4K and no Blu-ray. The special features are only part of the digital copy, sucks!
I just watched Cereal at Midnight's review, quite shocked to see that....there must be a million of these blu Ray discs lying around!! So why go down that route!! Although....buy a cheap blu Ray (if you haven't got one already) and get a double case and slot the blu ray in 🤔 shouldn't have to do that but it might give you the convenience of having the extras at hand Stephen 😊😊👍👍
It's what I would do in this case or import the UK version? But I really agree that these extras belong with the movie...in this set and not in some cloud that might "evaporate" in the future 🤔🤩👍👍
We get a great steelbook in a few weeks featuring both 4K & Blu Ray & lots of extra features containing art cards & poster, two versions one from Warner Bros & HMV.
Arrows restorations are unmatched. Its a shame that WB cant keep up with a little company, although they have a higher budget and better storage of the negatives. This release has just too much grain, low dynamic range and looks oversatured overall. I‘m sure that ETD will get a better 4k release one day. Hopes to Arrow …
Arrow would have spent more time on a restoration for this yeah 🤔🤩🤩👍👍although I do think (in my opinion) this looks really nice on my set up mate 🤔🤔🤩🤩👍👍
It's really interesting to see this is in a slimline case, as 88 Film's last release of Magic Cop was in one too. I wonder if the UK will start to get slimline cases as the norm from now on?
I'm seeing a lot more of these Gary! The Rocky films were in them and the Superman 4ks are starting to come out in them... and Training Day, so perhaps they are changing...I suppose we can get more on the shelves if so 😊😊👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMoviesThat was my first thought with Magic Cop, since I get almost all of the martial arts films from Eureka and 88 Films, and with some of them beig in collector's boxsets, it's good to be able to save space wherever possible.
@garym6315 I'm all for space saving Gary and with some of those amazing (but large) special editions from 88 and Eureka we need to grab back some precious millimetres 🤔😊😊👍👍
Id have to dissagree slightly, i watched last night and found it a bit of a mixed bag, straight off the bat the first fight looked soft , it then looks really good but i found theres a push me pull you ,one minite it looks great and then it drops again to softer image , the colours look great they really do, i just feel arrow would have given it more love and premium treatment but it is what it is . Maybe i just need a oled tv to get the full effect
@@peterhaye8537 yeh ive watched multiple remasters etc..over the years , it does look great now but like you say it didn't wow me over the previous blu ray
@@user-uu9wb3tr1w fair enough, just seems odd as most comments thus far have been generally positive. I'll be receiving my copy later today, & will watch it tonight & see if those "positive" comments are justified or not.
@@user-uu9wb3tr1whaving now watched this, I have to agree with you both, found the overall PQ underwhelming, & like has already been mentioned I am in agreement that this 4k transfer is only a marginal improvement over the bluray. Very very disappointed.
I saw that Stuart!! Yeah not good mate, I went into HMV yesterday and had a look through the whole lot to find the best one! I reckon it would have been scuffed when they put it in the package mate!! Boils my turnips that Stuart 🤬🤬🤬
Haven't got mine yet as I thought if I was going to spend all that money on the Arrow set, I would order the Steelbook, which has been put back a couple of weeks. Was thinking did Warners get Arrow to sort their transfer out as part of the deal to let them have the rest. As regards using the old transfer on Blu-ray. Warners probably has a few thousand discs they can chuck in to save money. They seem to be tighter than a Ducks @rse. Warners gunna Warner. If they have used both original audio and an atmos mix, then quality control messed-up it's usually one or the other not both unless the OG audio is a downmix of the Atmos which would make perfect sense for them.
don't know if you saw the press release that was posted on facebook 'The U.S. theatrical English monaural audio mix was also restored from archived 35mm magnetic film source elements containing the separate dialogue, music, and effects (DME) tracks. These restored elements along with the 25th anniversary's Special Edition 5.1 multi-channel up-mix print master were used to create a brand-new Dolby Atmos mix for both versions of the film. Very careful attention was given to this new sound mix to not only spatially expand the multi-channel audio tracks into a more three-dimensional presentation, but also to restore several missing effects and music cues that have been absent in the multi-channel mix for the past 25 years. Now in Dolby Atmos, the full extent of Lalo Schifrin's brilliantly energetic 1970s musical score along with all the masterful effects recordings can be wonderfully experienced in a much more rich and immersive sound format. Additionally, for the avid collector and purist, the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc includes the option to watch the film with the restored English monaural mix. Most notably, for the Special Edition version of the film, there is an opening scene in the film where Bruce Lee is seen conversing with his teacher, a Shaolin Monk played by Roy Chiao. As this scene was not included in the original U.S. theatrical release, the English dialogue for this scene was never properly recorded and/or archived. In 1998 for the Special Edition release, Warner Bros. located actor Roy Chiao and was able to have him record his dialogue for the Monk. However, since Bruce Lee had passed away prior to the film's original release in 1973, a Bruce Lee stand-in voice actor was used to record Lee's lines for that one scene. These recordings are what's featured in the English 5.1 audio mix since 1998 and are present in the current Dolby Atmos mix Fortunately, for the restored monaural audio mix featured on the 4K Blu-ray Disc, old recordings of Bruce Lee saying most of his lines for that additional scene have been found, cleaned up as best as possible, and included in that mix. Warner Bros. is excited to finally present this version of audio to the many fans of Bruce Lee as well as respectfully restore Bruce's voice to an early scene in the film that arguably had great spiritual and philosophical meaning to him.'
@@30plusfitnesstv Shame that nobody took the trouble with the Rocky Boxset as they have with this then. So that's why we got the disc the same as the Arrow set. They used the budget for new blu-ray discs on that. Not complaining as I will put the 4k in and allow the blu-ray to gather dust.
I do think Warner haven't really put as much effort into it as say Arrow could unfortunately! Although I like this release a lot it would have been better in more passionate hands 🤔🤩🤩👍👍
Great info 30plus 🤩🤩👍👍 you think Warner would have made more of this wouldn't you! This comment was the first I heard of this, I did go to my 4k then played the same clip on the enclosed blu Ray (which isn't a new disc) and couldn't really tell much difference 🤔🤔 I think the real Bruce Lee voice isn't through the while scene....I've got 2 other versions of Enter on blu ray and I'm going to try them out and see if I can find a difference there, i have heard that his original voice was recorded though 🤩🤩👍👍
If a company is going to do a 4k disc they have to pull out all the stops for it Roy 🤔🤩🤩 it's not good to hear that the Rocky's aren't the best they could be Roy 😵💫🤔👍👍👍
Yeah I thought they could have put the restoration on the blu ray as well Jonathan 😵💫 they should have handed this over to Arrow to do this release in partnership with Warner 🤔👍👍👍
Nice Chat about Enter the Dragon, and really nice touch at the end showing Bruce’s Grave.
Thanks John 🙂👍

Great review John. Got home from work to my copy from the nice people at Amazon. Just got done watching it. Absolutely superb. Such an improvement over previous versions as you say.
The audio was brilliant I thought. Totally new experience. Now to swap the disc into the Arrow/Golden Harvest box set 😁👍
It's barely better than the Blu Ray version, when discussing the recent Arrow Set, the Criterion version of Fist of Fury beats it quite candidly.
Cheers Chrissy 🤩👍 yeah that Dolby mix is great isn't it!! 😲😲 wasn't expecting that at all mate 🤩🤩👍👍I'm still not sure if I'm going to swop out yet Chrissy 🤔🤔.....actually just had a crazy thought 😵💫🤔🤩 I might wait till the 4k is REALLY cheap then buy another one and put that in the Arrow one 😁 yep kind of nuts but I might just do that 🥴🤣🤣👍👍
I don't have the Criterion set Peter, although I'm tempted to get it one day if the extras are exclusive 🤔👍👍
@@peterhaye8537Why is criterions version better?
Great movie. I enjoyed it even more now that I watched Bruce's movies in order. Might have to pick it up on 4k. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah Sebastian, great release mate, probably would have been better if Arrow had supervised the remaster but I'm more than happy with it mate 🤩🤩👍👍
Awesome 4K release, John, the best it's ever looked
Yeah Paul, stunning release! So pleased with it 😁😁👍👍
Nice1 John. I've been a fan of this since I was a kid and my Dad let me stay up late on a school night to watch it (he'd always been a fan)...it blew me away at the time and I owned it on VHS, DVD and the 2007 Blu-ray (the one with the pinkish cover that only had the "special edition" on it). Watching it yesterday with this 4K release was amazing...the picture (especially, as you say, the colours) was a big upgrade from that 2007 Blu-ray and so was the sound quality...it looks and sounds fantastic on my system. I was also happy to have the theatrical cut and the included Blu-ray (different to my 2007 one). Sure, it would have been nice if they'd made a bit more effort in terms of it being the 50th anniversary and included a booklet or something but overall I think this is a top release 😀👍
Yeah TigerBlue 🤩🤩👍👍this version is amazing!! The elements might be a bit wonky at times (blurry shots) but film making in the 70s had plenty of them but I feel this release has really brought it to life!

Just added this movie to my collection earlier. Picked it up from HMV this afternoon.
It's essential for anyone's collection Findlay 😊😊😊👍👍👍
Arrow box set and this 4k are great, just finished Enter the Dragon. Loved the colours like you say, looking forward to watching the last few discs in the Arrow box
Yeah they have finally done Bruce Lee proud Rob 🤩🤩👍👍as soon as our shifts get in sync can't wait to check out the main movies in the Arrow set Rob!! 🤩🤩👍👍
Great review John; hoping to see this at Tyneside next week 😀👍
I bet it'll look amazing Sam 🤩🤩👍👍
Hi John. Paul here
Just watched the 4k of enter the dragon.
And agree the colours are better than the blu ray and sharper.
But that's it for me with enter the dragon having gone from VHS to DVD to blu ray to now 4k.
Won't buy a new version unless it contains new footage never before seen but I think that would have been found by now.
Thanks Paul
Hi Paul 🤩🤩👍👍 yeah I'm the same, I think there is probably stuff in the vaults from Enter the dragon that could be restored or put out a restoration to someone else eg Arrow to maybe get it looking better but for now this is by far the best for me and like yourself it would have to be something special for me to buy it again 🤔🤩👍so with this and the Arrow box set, I think we have pretty much everything covered Paul 😀😀👌👌 cheers mate 🤩🤩👍👍
Watching Enter the Dragon in 4K at the cinema later this week. 😎
Can’t wait…
That'll be an absolute blast Cheekster 😊😊👏👏👏
@@MondoChelloveckMovies - The friend I’m going with has never watched any of Bruce Lee’s movies.
@cheekster777 oh wow!! It'll be great for you to watch their reactions mate 😊😊👍👍
There Is another one coming In September. Comes with a Poster and some Photos, and cards just like the Arrow Box Set. It says It has 3 more minutes added to the film.
It's funny that they didn't release the special before the standard, as a lot of people will probably be picking this one up 🤔😊👍I think the 3 minutes is the longer cut that is on this disc....would love to think it's 3 brand new minutes but sadly I doubt that very much mate 😔 cheers for watching 🤩🤩👍👍
Hi, I remember when vhs video first appeared and walking into W.H.Smiths and seeing a small shelf of vhs movies for sale...inc' Enter The Dragon" ... only £89 .... Then video stores came out, and you could hire it out. Prices dropped, and I eventually bought it . [ Still got it ] I got the 1st dvd release later, then in 2001 bought the 2 disc Special Edition inc' "A Warriors Journey". Excellent picture and sound....and now within the new Blue Ray box set, I have the Blue Ray Edition. Not yet watched. 1st movie I wanted to watch was "Way of the Dragon", originally cut to pieces by the censors for years & years !! Basically a Martial Arts Movie will very liittle Martial Arts....Imagiine a War movie from WWII with armed soldiers and no action, or a Western with no gunfights ? "Almost a Gunfight at the Not Ok Coral". Just see the bodies lying on the ground, not knowing what happened ? That's what they practically did to Bruce Lee in that movie. The irony was "Fist of Fury" got away unscathed ... Nunchaku scenes not removed. Slow motion Samurai Sword falling through the back. Slow motion full force punch !! It escaped the censors but 'Way' didn't !!! I never understood the mind of these censors. People going to see a Kung Fu movie ... are expecting to see Kung Fu ...They are not going, then shocked .. Oh the violence ... I thought it was a Disney movie. [ Sorry ...Rant over .. Oh the frustration during those years ] I am looking forward to getting through this box set. Taking my time. I have no plans for 4K dvds. Very happy with my new Blue Ray Player ... and it says 4K on it. Lol Great review and as always, interesting information, thankyou ! Regards Jim
Thanks for your "warriors journey" Jim 😊👍👍the Bruce Lee titles have had such a crazy history in this country, I think that's another reason for us fans wanting the pinnacle of them because of the poor deals we have had in the past! I totally agree with you with Way of the Dragon, my first viewing was the hacked to pieces version, you could see there was a great movie in there but it was frustrating to get to the magical Bruce Lee fighting scenes and they jump and are edited in a way that you are "haaaangg on!!!!" 🤔🤔😵💫😵💫 that was by far the biggest revelation of all his movies for me Jim!!! I share your pain on this issue of crazy cuts and others not!! Great comment Jim 🤩🤩👍👍
Great review John. I’m tempted to put this 4K disc in the arrow Boxset and put the Blu ray in the 4K box 😎
Yeah I'm tempted to do that myself Shaun 🤔🤔🤔🤩🤩👍👍
Hi John, I've been away awhile, glad to finally catch up with your channel, enjoyed as always, cheers.
Hi Pete, thanks for checking out the videos mate, appreciate that, hope you are well Pete 🤩🤩👍👍
Will pickup ETD on 4K soon thanks for the info - interesting to see all the different versions of this release
Yeah I rate this one mate, best it will look as Warner probably won't go back to it again or let anyone else try remastering it, really pleased that both versions are in 4k!! 🤩 cheers for watching mate 😊😊👍👍
Great review and the picture quality is fantastic. Only bruce lee film worth owning tbh, others were ok but nothing, absolutely nothing like this film
Cheers Dave, yeah love how this looks mate! I can see how Enter the Dragon is different to the Hong Kong movies Bruce made and not everyone can get away with them 🤔😊 cheers for watching Dave 🤩🤩👍👍
Looks like we are getting frenzy on 4k at last 🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊
Been a long time coming Gary 😵💫😁😁👍👍
Nice video and great what a great film
Cheers Danny, yeah love this movie mate 🤩🤩👏👏
Great review. The 4k transfer is really good. The hdr adds extra depth to the picture as well. I definitely get what you're saying, this is the last Bruce Lee film to add to the collection. Wish Warners would have at least included some new features. Even a new commentary. Just lazy. No way to mark the 50th anniversary or show respect to this bonafide legend.
HDR is the star of this release for me Mig 🤩🤩👍👍kind of does feel like the end of a journey somewhat 😔 yeah they definitely should have done more.....even passed that over to Arrow Video to take care of 🤔 Arrow did their part with the amazing box set, shame Warner couldn't have followed suit! Let's hope they don't release these then do it Mig 🥴🥴 cheers for watching mate 🤩🤩👍👍
Great review! Thanks.
Thanks for watching Steven 😊😊👌👌
Got mine also got the limited edition collectors steelbook with poster art cards and book next month sold out 😊😊😊😊
Yeah I've had a big set of Enter the Dragon before and happy just to have it on regular 😊😊👌👌
Dear John, I would be the same as yourself had I been talking about Brue Lee and you mentioning getting choked up
as you did you made me start to choke up myself
Bruce Lee was a Super Special
human being a Mega Titan
and a Wonderful person and the greatest of them All and even after 50th anniversary
of his Terribly Tragic death and
the genius of the man himself
and the Fantastic iconic Enter the Dragon Legendary status guaranteed forever more!!
you did him proud and Blessings to yourself and All True Bruce Lee fans All around the world.
Bruce Lee has never been more hero worshipped than he is Now except in the 70s after his untimely death and it is Great that many fans are still
idolizing the Super Legend that he will Always remain
Bruce Lee was Almost a human Superman and Thank you for you're Heartfelt feelings you did the Legend
Proud Best Wishes and Blessing's once again as Bruce used to end his writings:
PEACE, BLESSING'S
AND BROTHERHOOD ✌🙏❤
Hi Roy thanks for this great message, yeah I was just chatting about the movie and strayed onto how sad it was that the thing that Bruce struggled all his life to get was cruely snatched out of his hands! He was so close to achieving his dream!! Going down that route caught me off guard Roy!! 😔 I've obviously been watching a lot of Bruce Lee recently and one thing that's coming more over to me is how tragic his story was and all we can do is immerse ourselves in his amazing, but short, body of work!! Thanks Roy and yeah what a great way to sign off 😊😊😊👏👏👏
@@MondoChelloveckMovies Thank's John and I can't help But agree with you're sentiments as well
Blessings to you and us dude's
can feel choked if our feelings are
strong about whatever it may be in this Life that stirs our emotions enough! Blessing's John ✌🙏❤
Thanks Roy, yeah as much as Bruce Lee's movies and philosophy have such a positive message, there is always the bittersweet side to his story that can't help stirring the emotions mate 😔 cheers again Roy 😊😊👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies Yea John I don't cry! went through all the
levels of that emotion when I was younger I just never cry but having
just stated that Bruce Lee's Tragic ending to such a Wonderful human being has brought me to tears at least once each year All the Best Pal
and Kind Regards 🌟🙏❤
Great video mate bruce was the greatest it upsets me too.
Cheers Mark, yeah talking about the timing of his passing just before the film opened and he missed all of the adulation he received was pretty heavy mate!! 😔😔 cheers for watching Mark 👍👍
Thanks John
Thanks for watching 🤩🤩👍👍
hi john great vid mate when ever i think of that movie is a song called kungfuu fighting when it came out you could never get awayfrom it just seen dule is comeing to 4k love that movie hope you and the debs are well steve
Cheers Steve, haha yeah that song was fast as lightning 🤣🤣🤩🤩 it was a kind of Brucesploitation song wasn't it mate 😁😁 yeah Duel should look amazing in 4k mate 😊😊👍👍
Gonna pick ut up tomorrow john
It's a cracking release Paul, that Dolby Atmos track is amazing 😁😁👌👌
Steelbook in a few weeks, i went for the HMV version as preferred the artwork.
Do you have Enter the Dragon already or is this a first time but Isabella? I think if I hadn't owned this movie so many times I would have gone for the special as its a lovely set 😊😊👍👍
Big boss my favourite Bruce Lee film. I won't be getting this John, lack of special features, don't think they have done the discs like arrow did. Besides all that, already got the uncut version of ETD. Thanks for the video John
Big Boss is a solid movie Jamie 😊😊👍👍yeah they could have stuck some new things on a separate disc mate 🥴 I would imagine most people would have a copy of Enter the Dragon in their collections Jamie, Imagine if Warner had added some exclusive extras on it.....they would have flown off the shelf mate 😁😁👍👍
The Criterion version of Fist of Fury bested Arrow's effort.
So it seems your not a fan of what Arrow did with their set Peter?
I saw this in the theatre back in the day.
At the time, the only Kung-Fu moves I had ever seen were the ones performed by David Carradine on the American TV show, Kung-Fu. And I only knew Bruce Lee from the Green Hornet TV show. Needless to say, I was absolutely amazed at how fast Bruce could move.
Great story, I'm probably the same by seeing the David Carradine TV series and it's slow motion fight scenes.......then Bruce Lee came along and BAM!!! changed the game big style Rob!! 😁😁👏👏
Thanks for the review. Does your version, which is the UK version I presume, have Dutch (Nederlands) subtitles on it? Would be great if you could confirm this.
Hi Deko, I'm at work till tomorrow, but I'll check when I get home mate to confirm for definite 👍 yes it's the U.K 4k Deko 🤩🤩👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies Thank you very much. I'm looking forward to your reply and confirmation. Good luck at work👍🏻
@DEKOproducties thanks mate, speak tomorrow and cheers only got about 10 hours to go 😵💫😵💫🤣🤣👍👍
@DEKOproducties hi mate can confirm the subtitles have Netherlands, Dansk, Norsk, Svenska on the 4k, I know that you only wanted Netherlands but that looks like it also supports the surrounding countries (pardon my lack of geographical knowledge mate 😵💫🤣) hope that helps mate 😊😊👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies Thank you very much, my friend! I'm going to order the UK version soon. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great review, John. nice to see some screenshots. I heard the picture wasn't great, but the sound was. I'm glad you clarify thats not the case. I actually cancelled my pre order, ive got it 3 times on Blu-Ray, and im just going through a phase of why do i have so many copies of the same film 😅. I will probably pick it up further down the line no rush as still waiting to open and delve into the Arrow set at the end of the month, cheers
Cheers Matt, no complaints from me about the picture quality mate, although I really would like to see how Arrow would have fared with it!! Personally I think their in house remastering team is one of the best out there 🤔 but sadly Warner have their stranglehold on this film 🥴 this is my 3rd copy in the collection for me and I'm kind of happy that buying the Bruce Lee main titles had finally come to an end (for now) after 30 plus years of picking them up time and time again...I do think I'm going to move into some Brucesploitation classics now abd hopefully some of the best examples get a good release 🤞🤞😁😁 yeah a great pick up in the sale Matt and this coupled together with the amazing Arrow set is a Bruce Lee fan's dream releases 😊😊👌👌
I only have duplicates if their are different cuts of the movie or if one disc has extras that the other one doesn't I ent one of those coklectors that has to have every release of every film just because of pretty artwork
I try not to double dip too much but some of the editions are really well done so I find myself picking them up Mark, probably I hope that a classic movie will eventually reach the 4k standard, so I get that one and I'm done 😁😁👍👍
Nice looking set John, this is definitely the best Bruce Lee movie and the picture looks the best it's ever been.
Yeah Gary, I'm more than satisfied with this version mate....could Arrow have done better? 🤔 yeah I think they could for sure but Warner will never let this cash cow out of their hands will they 😵💫 cheers mate 🤩🤩👍👍
Great video John, just watched the 4k tonight it deffo looks the best it’s probably going to get, I was pleased I never seen any of the dreaded DNR lol .I don’t know if your planning on seeing it on the big screen but if you are they are showing it up in Hexham at the forum cinema on August 19th 7pm one night only they’ve only sold a handful of tickets so far maybe people are not as nostalgic as us lol. I was only 10 when it was out so I’m looking forward to seeing it on the big screen.
Thanks Dave, glad to know DNR hasn't been used at all, will be watching this real soon, when me and The Deb's shifts align 😵💫🤣 I would like to see this on the big screen 🤞🤞🤞 great heads up about Hexham, I've passed by that Cinema quite a few times before 😁 I've never seen anything of Bruce Lee on the Cinema, so it would be an amazing experience !!! Thanks again Dave 😊😊👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies Wei i could be a canny nite oot for you and the Debs there although when I offered to get my mrs a ticket it was a swift no lol. I can’t complain though as she’s bought me that arrow box set for my birthday in August so not all bad .I’m dying to open it up but have to wait until the big day !
I think Deborah would be up for it and it would be great if it happened 🤞🤞😁😁 well power to your wife for buying you the best boxset of the year so far mate 🤩🤩🤩👏👏👏
I’m very happy with the 4K.
Perhaps, this proves that the Arrow 4Ks are indeed a bit on the darker side.
It's a great 4k I think DBZ, I think that when a movie had dolby vision on it the picture does look darker 🤔👍👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies You might have hit the nail on the head, John.
When I get a 4k with Dolby Vision I expect it to look darker but having an oled can sometimes help that, but an overly dark picture isn't great us it DBZ 😵💫😵💫👍👍
No it's not, John. I've really struggled to get an acceptable picture with the Arrow 4ks, but my player and TV are not Dolby Vision, so I think you're spot on with that being the issue.@@MondoChelloveckMovies
The best film of Bruce Lee
Can't argue with anyone having any of Bruce Lee's movie at the top Mark 🤩🤩👍👍
We’ve hit the pinnacle for the Bruce Lee films now John. If I upgrade to the 4K Arrow box set but the blu ray one I have now that I will be the last time I’ll buy the films on physical media. Had them on every format since video. Bittersweet moment. Got the ETD steel books coming in September. Was hoping the Blu-ray with the 4K would be the new transfer for both versions but I planned a head. Bought it on iTunes and got the free 4k upgrade yesterday. You get all the extras including the theatrical version (which looks like a bad upload to me. Can hear it but the pic is a glitch fest) Hopefully Warners / iTunes will sort asap because that’s my preferred version for sure.
We certainly have, it's great to have these in the highest format if you want to go to the 4k, shame to hear that download isn't great 😵💫😵💫 hopefully they will sort that one out mate 🤞🤞🤩🤩👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies I'm still in contact with Apple support trying to get the Theatrical version sorted. Apparently no one else has reported this issue yet. Might venture into the world of 4K for Christmas. My tv is in need of upgrade. So we'll see what Santa brings 😆
Great review John, Ive had mine pre ordered from Amazon since it was available but sadly there seems to be a delay and it wont arrive for another 2 weeks. However thanks to your review I can relax knowing its going to be worth the wait. Cheers mate 👍
It's funny pre orders never really stick to their dates, hopefully it's a snag that they have noticed so you will receive the perfect set 😊😊👍👍
Not feeling Warner using the thinner cases for the UK. They did it on National Lampoons vacation as well. Still awesome having this classic remastered and looking the best its ever looked though. Roll on The Exorcist next!
I think that'll be the way of things now with Warner mate 🤔😵💫 probably cheaper! But at least we can fit more on the shelves though 😀😀👍👍yeah I'm all for a classic movie from the vaults getting a polish up 😊😊👌👌 yeah The Exorcist should hopefully look amazing 🤞🤞🤩🤩 cheers for watching mate 😊😊👍👍
I don't see the BRUCE LEE box set in the American site for arrow . It might not be available in the USA yet
Hi John, I know this set is the UK release and I hope that Arrow will announce a U.S version in the future 🤞🤞 maybe because Criterion have put out a Bruce Lee set in America, Arrow might not be able to release it in America 🤔 you can import this set (with the red cover) but the blu rays are Region B locked unfortunately 🥴 hope you get sorted John 🤞🤩🤩👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies can I buy a region free 4k player in the USA and which one?
I would imagine you could John 🤔 not sure what models you would have in the US mate? I would look online and try and get an idea of what's out there, in the UK they don't sell them in the shops you have to get them online, hope you get sorted out John 😊😊👍👍
At least you got features on a disc. The US release has only the movie on the 4K and no Blu-ray. The special features are only part of the digital copy, sucks!
I just watched Cereal at Midnight's review, quite shocked to see that....there must be a million of these blu Ray discs lying around!! So why go down that route!! Although....buy a cheap blu Ray (if you haven't got one already) and get a double case and slot the blu ray in 🤔 shouldn't have to do that but it might give you the convenience of having the extras at hand Stephen 😊😊👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies that’s a good idea. I appreciate the advice. Thanks
It's what I would do in this case or import the UK version? But I really agree that these extras belong with the movie...in this set and not in some cloud that might "evaporate" in the future 🤔🤩👍👍
We get a great steelbook in a few weeks featuring both 4K & Blu Ray & lots of extra features containing art cards & poster, two versions one from Warner Bros & HMV.
The steelbook looks really nice Isabella 🤩🤩👏👏
Good review John.
Thanks for watching Mark mate 😊😊👍👍
Niice one John. Thanks.
Cheers Cheekster thanks for watching mate 😊😊👌👌
it's a decent transfer but the lack of new special features is very dissapointing
Yeah it's a real shame, wish they would have let Arrow tackle the extras for this movie!! 🤔🥴👍👍👍
Arrows restorations are unmatched. Its a shame that WB cant keep up with a little company, although they have a higher budget and better storage of the negatives. This release has just too much grain, low dynamic range and looks oversatured overall. I‘m sure that ETD will get a better 4k release one day. Hopes to Arrow …
Arrow would have spent more time on a restoration for this yeah 🤔🤩🤩👍👍although I do think (in my opinion) this looks really nice on my set up mate 🤔🤔🤩🤩👍👍
It's really interesting to see this is in a slimline case, as 88 Film's last release of Magic Cop was in one too. I wonder if the UK will start to get slimline cases as the norm from now on?
I'm seeing a lot more of these Gary! The Rocky films were in them and the Superman 4ks are starting to come out in them... and Training Day, so perhaps they are changing...I suppose we can get more on the shelves if so 😊😊👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMoviesThat was my first thought with Magic Cop, since I get almost all of the martial arts films from Eureka and 88 Films, and with some of them beig in collector's boxsets, it's good to be able to save space wherever possible.
@garym6315 I'm all for space saving Gary and with some of those amazing (but large) special editions from 88 and Eureka we need to grab back some precious millimetres 🤔😊😊👍👍

Id have to dissagree slightly, i watched last night and found it a bit of a mixed bag, straight off the bat the first fight looked soft , it then looks really good but i found theres a push me pull you ,one minite it looks great and then it drops again to softer image , the colours look great they really do, i just feel arrow would have given it more love and premium treatment but it is what it is . Maybe i just need a oled tv to get the full effect
The 4K print is barely better than the Blu Ray, marginal improvement.
@@peterhaye8537 yeh ive watched multiple remasters etc..over the years , it does look great now but like you say it didn't wow me over the previous blu ray

Haven't got mine yet as I thought if I was going to spend all that money on the Arrow set, I would order the Steelbook, which has been put back a couple of weeks. Was thinking did Warners get Arrow to sort their transfer out as part of the deal to let them have the rest. As regards using the old transfer on Blu-ray. Warners probably has a few thousand discs they can chuck in to save money. They seem to be tighter than a Ducks @rse. Warners gunna Warner. If they have used both original audio and an atmos mix, then quality control messed-up it's usually one or the other not both unless the OG audio is a downmix of the Atmos which would make perfect sense for them.
don't know if you saw the press release that was posted on facebook
'The U.S. theatrical English monaural audio mix was also restored from archived 35mm magnetic film source elements containing the separate dialogue, music, and effects (DME) tracks. These restored elements along with the 25th anniversary's Special Edition 5.1 multi-channel up-mix print master were used to create a brand-new Dolby Atmos mix for both versions of the film. Very careful attention was given to this new sound mix to not only spatially expand the multi-channel audio tracks into a more three-dimensional presentation, but also to restore several missing effects and music cues that have been absent in the multi-channel mix for the past 25 years. Now in Dolby Atmos, the full extent of Lalo Schifrin's brilliantly energetic 1970s musical score along with all the masterful effects recordings can be wonderfully experienced in a much more rich and immersive sound format.
Additionally, for the avid collector and purist, the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc includes the option to watch the film with the restored English monaural mix. Most notably, for the Special Edition version of the film, there is an opening scene in the film where Bruce Lee is seen conversing with his teacher, a Shaolin Monk played by Roy Chiao. As this scene was not included in the original U.S. theatrical release, the English dialogue for this scene was never properly recorded and/or archived. In 1998 for the Special Edition release, Warner Bros. located actor Roy Chiao and was able to have him record his dialogue for the Monk. However, since Bruce Lee had passed away prior to the film's original release in 1973, a Bruce Lee stand-in voice actor was used to record Lee's lines for that one scene. These recordings are what's featured in the English 5.1 audio mix since 1998 and are present in the current Dolby Atmos mix Fortunately, for the restored monaural audio mix featured on the 4K Blu-ray Disc, old recordings of Bruce Lee saying most of his lines for that additional scene have been found, cleaned up as best as possible, and included in that mix. Warner Bros. is excited to finally present this version of audio to the many fans of Bruce Lee as well as respectfully restore Bruce's voice to an early scene in the film that arguably had great spiritual and philosophical meaning to him.'
@@30plusfitnesstv Shame that nobody took the trouble with the Rocky Boxset as they have with this then. So that's why we got the disc the same as the Arrow set. They used the budget for new blu-ray discs on that. Not complaining as I will put the 4k in and allow the blu-ray to gather dust.
I do think Warner haven't really put as much effort into it as say Arrow could unfortunately! Although I like this release a lot it would have been better in more passionate hands 🤔🤩🤩👍👍
Great info 30plus 🤩🤩👍👍 you think Warner would have made more of this wouldn't you! This comment was the first I heard of this, I did go to my 4k then played the same clip on the enclosed blu Ray (which isn't a new disc) and couldn't really tell much difference 🤔🤔 I think the real Bruce Lee voice isn't through the while scene....I've got 2 other versions of Enter on blu ray and I'm going to try them out and see if I can find a difference there, i have heard that his original voice was recorded though 🤩🤩👍👍
If a company is going to do a 4k disc they have to pull out all the stops for it Roy 🤔🤩🤩 it's not good to hear that the Rocky's aren't the best they could be Roy 😵💫🤔👍👍👍
The antichrist comes to cult classics just pre order 😊
Nice one!!
As someone who hasn’t upgraded to 4K, I find it quite disappointing that a blu ray based off the 4K restoration wasn’t included.🥲
Yeah I thought they could have put the restoration on the blu ray as well Jonathan 😵💫 they should have handed this over to Arrow to do this release in partnership with Warner 🤔👍👍👍
