Choice is key here and this release brilliantly includes a huge range of audio options for fans who may have grown up with a very particular soundtrack lodged in their brains. After getting into trouble in his late-teenage years (in one incident, he supposedly beat up the son of a Triad member), Lee’s mother sent him back to the US to finish his education and hopefully keep him out of mischief.

It's still very rough round the edges and its use of the Lee footage (again including some from his actual funeral) still feels somewhat inexcusable these days, but with more of itself able to be crafted round it, it delivers a much more satisfying albeit insane ‘film’ experience. Given the sheer number of versions, the review of picture quality below will be for the main versions (the versions presented first in the list above) of each film only. We will introduce you exclusively to Newpay finance products provided by NewDay Limited under this Introducer Appointed Representative arrangement. But the rest of the colour scheme is really nice, especially the bright yellow of Lee’s infamous jumpsuit at the film’s finale. Cue an introduction of some strange humour, of a semi-love interest, and of name-worthy opponents to pose more of a challenge – for most who haven’t seen the film, they’ll still be aware of Chuck Norris turning up in the third act to be the film’s whole climax with the epic Colosseum-set brawl.The rest of the film looks ok, but still suffers from a degree of inconsistency – some footage will look clean, others are flecked with debris and damage. With clean and clear background information providing a great sense of presence, imaging displays impressive clarity and distinction while providing the music with a good deal of warmth and accuracy. The story is a simple one but it’s effectively told and gives the appropriate weight to the fight scenes. We reviewed the Region free UK Ultra HD Blu-rays and region B locked Blu-Rays included in this release release of Bruce Lee at Golden Harvest on a Denon AVR4300 and a 7. Note: while all UHDs are region free, all the new Arrow included 1080p blu-rays are locked for region 'B'.

Lee remains unimpeachable – his fights here are the best yet, but his support from Saxon and Kelly seem to suddenly give him what he has so missed from all his earlier films: stars and a film around him to match his intensity, his ability and his megawatt charisma. But sadly, he never got that chance, passing away on July 20 th 1973 at the age of just 32, with only 100 minutes of film shot for its final act, most of which were then promptly lost by the production company. My favorite part of Fist of Fury is the park scene where Lee's angry but still grieving Chen Zhen is refused entry and confronted by a rude Japanese man who publicly humiliates our would-be hero. However, since childhood, I've always distinctly remembered the fight between John Saxon's Roper and Bolo Yeung, the cool and suave Jim Kelly's Williams and, of course, Han's three-knives prosthetic while going toe-to-toe against the unbeatable Bruce Lee inside the mirror room.

Yet, I've never forgotten about the subplot revealing that Han's bodyguard O'Hara (Bob Wall) is the man responsible for the death of Lee's sister, so I keep expecting this story to be a straightforward revenge tale, only to be pleasantly reminded that the script is bit more complicated than that. He had high hopes for being cast as the lead in the Kung Fu series, but that went to David Caradine. Along with a double-sided poster for The Big Boss and The Way of the Dragon, there is an assortment of ten glossy, black-and-white photos of Lee in iconic poses and twenty-four lobby-style postcards for all four films. Alternate Credit Sequence (HD, 8 min) houses four different opening credits that were produced over the years since the film's original release.

documentary instead – not just all two hours of Lee’s dailies that remain, but with an insightful wraparound and commentary over the top to give a complete run down of the project as intended, with stage directions, themes, choreography breakdowns and a wealth of brilliantly delivered titbits, it’s one of the very best documentaries on a film project I’ve seen. For Game of Death II – the 96 min international cut and the 95 min alternative US VHS cut are available via seamless branching, while the 87 min Hong Kong cut and the 72 min Korean cut have their own separate versions, all available in 1080p SDR on Disc Nine. The character of Hsiu is notably stronger here, with him given some more varied character beats and a much longer opening fight. Lee's third movie arrives with a strong and generally satisfying 4K transfer, but compared to the others in the set, this is sadly the weakest of the bunch, falling on the softer side and occasionally looking out of focus with only a few pockets of sharp clarity, most of which come from close-ups or some exterior shots.

The movie is an obvious cash grab, an attempt to capitalize on Lee's international popularity, one of many such features referred to as Bruceploitation.
