The Bruce Lee On Blu-ray Thread

[killer must kill again]

are there any caps comparing the new shout selects with the old bruce lee premiere collection? couldn't find anything. just some pissy yellow screenshots from the 4k HK blu-ray.

Yes, the Shout Select releases are from the recent 4K restorations and are the only ones that have been color corrected to fix the Ritrovata green/yellow tint.

Thanks. I thought they were improved but these have been re-released so many times I lost track.

The Shout Select releases, I believe, are the best versions on Blu-ray, so pick them up while you have the chance.

Are these transfers different from the transfers that were used for Shout's Bruce Lee Premiere Collection (which were different/better than the Legacy Collection)?

We're sad to say that later this year our rights to all Bruce Lee titles will be expiring. Once they expire, we will no longer be able to sell our Bruce Lee films and all will go out of print. This is your official warning to grab them before they are gone forever!

The four Shout Select Bruce Lee releases are all on sale right now as part of the Shout Select sale and definitely is your best chance to pick these up! Head over to: https://www.shoutfactory.com/shoutselectticket

Sorry Bruce

They must be trying to confuse people into buying these films all over again. Ive got the HKL dvds and dont feel the need to upgrade. Bruce Lee films arent that great, really

Thats the first time ive heard of WAY OF THE DRAGON being called RETURN OF THE DRAGON
Is it a US thing?
Thought it was a lost Bruce film at first!

The saving grace of these Shout Select releases is the reversible cover art with the "proper" titles. So you won't have to ever see the retarded ass FISTS OF FURY title for THE BIG BOSS or CHINESE CONNECTION for FIST OF FURY. I expect WAY OF THE DRAGON to have the same.

Shout announced a 4k remaster of Return Of The Dragon is being released in May.

GAME OF DEATH is also being released on May 16 with both cuts. So there you go, no need to buy that rip off FS box set unless you like throwing money away.

That's amazon..sometimes their pricing makes sense, other times totally random.

$139.99??? What a fucking rip off! dddhouse has it for $67 and even with the most expensive EMS speed post shipping option, it'll still be $40 cheaper than Amazon. I didn't check buyoyo but it's got to be way cheaper as well. Plus, it's woefully lacking compared to the Shout Select 4K remastered releases in terms extras and the death knell for this FS release is the lack of the original mono audio. :down: Just wait for Shout to eventually release THE WAY OF THE DRAGON and GAME OF DEATH and you can have all 4 movies for a third of the price of this boxset with the same PQ but superior audio and more extras.
