A hit for my husband's birthday.......2007-08-13
My husband is a big Bruce Lee fan. I bought this collection for his birthday and he loves it. It has all his favorite movies. The DVDs are of great quality.
I thought it was good.......2007-08-05
These DVDs aren't top notch quality, but hey - they allow you to see Bruce Lee kicking butt. The sound is OK. Remember, the original Bruce Lee movies weren't all that great as far as picture and sound quality go either. I would recommend.
Bruce Lee Collection.......2007-07-27
This is a good collection. The quality of the picture and sound are acceptable considering these movies were filmed over 30 years ago and the technology was limited. There are a few times of static or hissing during the dialog and music. The voice over dialog does not always match the closed captioning so it was better to turn off the closed captioning when watching these movies. Overall, this is a good choice.
Great Bruce Lee Collection.......2007-07-12
The Best 5 films from bruce lee at a great price. Original filming remasterized, they look sensational. A great purchase
Good Enough.......2007-04-03
This set is good enough. I mean, how can an old production be made to today's standards without altering the original content. Come on. This and Enter the Dragon is all I need to start with for my collection. Bruce is a legend, and to have a set like this is good enough in my opinion.

Bruce at His Best.......2007-07-04
A true classic Bruce Lee film. Lots of action and the unmatched skill,speed and power that only Bruce posessed.Good quality audio and video.A must have for the martial artist or martial arts movie fan.
Amazon.com
Sinewy, sleek, and oozing charisma, Bruce Lee brought sex appeal to the martial arts genre, dominating even the most cliché-riddled adventures with his mix of good-humored geniality and focused intensity. His first film, the low-budget Hong Kong adventure Fists of Fury (as it was titled in the U.S.), is exactly that: a raw, rough-edged revenge drama of a country boy who uncovers a heroin-smuggling ring. Yet the film comes alive when Lee pounces into action, his wiry, well-muscled frame erupting in lightning moves. His follow-up, The Chinese Connection, keeps the revenge theme going for a tale of a kung fu student who avenges his teacher's death at the hands of a Japanese rival. The international success of both films enabled the increasingly ambitious Lee to write and direct his own feature, Return of the Dragon, a more-comic tale of a Chinese country boy who travels to Rome to help out cousins under the thumb of local mobsters. Though filled with excellent martial arts bouts, all choreographed by Lee, the highlight is a death match between Lee and karate champion Chuck Norris in the Roman Colosseum. Lee died before completing his last feature, Game of Death, and a rather unconvincing double runs around much of the film between footage of the real Lee, but the climax features an impressive bout with basketball star and Lee student Kareem Abdul-Jabar. Though a cut above most martial arts movies of the period, these are no masterpieces, but then who watches a Bruce Lee film for the story? In these films, plot is simply there for the scenes between Lee's amazing fight sequences. The documentary Bruce Lee: The Legend completes the collection. --Sean Axmaker

THE MASTER COLLECTION OF BRUCE LEE.......2006-05-16
i bought this set at a used dvd store for $15.00 and was very happy to find it. watching it i was struck by how much talent and energy this man had! had he lived he would have one of the most bankable stars in the world.to be sure these are low buget action movies, but mr. lee brought a style to them that no other actor could have brought, his every move was a graceful and well thought out move,even just walking down the street. these are all the films he made(except for enter the dragon which he made for warner bros.) and he shines in them all,(game of death the movie he was making when he died is very weak and only comes alive when they use the footage of him that was shot) and if you love lee or good kung-fu movies this is one to own
I GOT THIS AT BESTBUY FOR 19.99, GO CHECK IT OUT........2006-03-16
This is easily one of the best investments to my collection, I mean 4/5 of bruce lee's movies, and a documentary.
Now fisrt of all, all of these movies are the original dub and very watchable picture.
Fist of fury(Big Boss)----- very fun movie with bruce beating up a lot of people. The end fight is prettygood because it was so authentic. Pai ying is the man, he is also the action coordinator on this.
Chinese Connection(Fist Of Fury)------ One of the best movies of all time. Great fight scenes(check it out when he takes on the whole gym), great score, great acting, hell, even Lo wei is an actor in this movie, and he is pretty freaking good.
Return of the dragon(enter the dragon) directed by bruce lee, action directed by bruce lee, and starrign bruce lee. Come on bruce, you could have put your name as composer too. This movie kicks ass, better than big boss, but not as good as chinese connection. Everyone knows this is the one where bruce fights chuck norris at the end. And it is everythign it is made out to be, certainly not the best though.
Game of death---this is your classic case of fastforwarding kungfu cinema. The fight scenes are pretty good, but a VERY FORGETTABLE story.
Documentary-------very good doc. that talks a lot about what bruce was planning for game of death(sounds sweet), and what other characters he wa experimenting with for hsi future movies. Can you believe he had a blind swordsman idea in mind for himself. There is a lot of other important info also. 5/5 for the documentary, good for any bruce fan.
So I have seen this at cd tradepost for 14.99, and 19.99 at Best buy, so I don't know where the hell that $38 price comes from.
Great product.......2005-10-14

TRIPLE FEATURES RULE!.......2003-11-19
This is a great DVD. It contains Fists of Fury (Great Movie!), The Real Bruce Lee and Fist of Fear/Touch of Death all on one DVD! I couls summarize the movies but you can research them individually, it's more fun that way. I really liked the DVD and you will too! This has a place in my Private Collection because the films are classics and are enjoyable to watch again and again.

Bruce Lee kicked around Hollywood for years looking in vain for an American break when Hong Kong came calling. As Kato in the TV series The Green Hornet he had become an Asian star (the series was renamed for his character when it crossed the Pacific) and ripe for his own vehicle. This raw, low-budget effort, called The Big Boss in its native Hong Kong, is a generic revenge drama enlivened by Lee's intense screen presence and martial arts prowess. He's a country boy who takes a job at a Thailand ice-packing plant and discovers it's a cover for heroin smuggling. Lee is held back through the first half of the film by a promise he made his sweet, gray-haired mom not to brawl (which means you have to wait to see him in action), but his indignation turns to fury as friends and coworkers disappear and the boss sends thugs to take care of the brooding, intense country boy. The final half of the film is a series of violent confrontations, culminating in a marvelously choreographed showdown at the ice plant. Lean, mean Lee, with a physique that looked sculpted in bronze, became an overnight sensation with this film, breaking all Asian box-office records and starting an international kung fu craze, but none of the pretenders ever touched Lee's cool cinematic charisma or his martial arts grace. Lee returned the next year in The Chinese Connection. --Sean Axmaker
Customer Reviews:
A Legend Is Born.......2007-05-17
With charisma to burn Bruce Lee set the Martial Arts film on its ear and forever changed them for the better.
As a young man working at an ice factory that is a front for drug dealing Lee adds his considerable mastery of martial arts and a very good acting ability and lifts this slight story well above average. With graceful moves and almost poetic fight scenes, this let the world know that Bruce Lee was here and here to stay. I have often thought that if he and Sam Peckinpah would have worked together they might have made a true masterpiece. Low budget to be sure,but it's Lee who fills the screen and demands you to over look the small budget and see the grace of his movement. Not his best, but darn close!
Excellent.......2007-01-04
This product was brand new and the picture and sound quality was clear and easy to understand and I look forward to do more business in the future with you and once again, thanks for a job well done and keep up the good work.
The Making of a Legend.......2006-05-06
"Fist of Fury" is a good movie. This is Bruce Lee (starring as Cheng Chao-an) first debut as a fully fledged martial arts star. This is not his best film but it helped to propel him into the super-hero and legend status that he is today and will ever be. He also popularized martial arts worldwide.
The movie is a bit slow at the beginning when Bruce Lee moves from his town to run away from fights and other problems and goes to a small town to live with his cousins. He promises his mother that he will never fight, which is a hard promise to keep in the environment he is living. For example, on his way to his new home, he witnesses a young lady and a kid being harassed and bullied but does not take an active part in the ensuing fight.
Cheng gets a job at a local ice factory. Cheng finds out that the factory is just a front for making drugs. His friends start disappearing mysteriously without trace. The pace of the film picks up when Cheng and his colleagues start investigations into the disappearance of their friends. Fighting erupts and Cheng demonstrates his exceptional martial arts skills.
Among my most memorable scenes includes when Bruce Lee fights the gangsters in the ice factory after someone cuts him and he joins the fight. When he starts to participate in the fight, the end is brief as the gangsters cannot match his outstanding performance. Also the grand finale is when Bruce Lee takes the fight to the Big Boss. The viewer is treated to some remarkable and breathtaking display of martial arts fighting in an open courtyard. Cheng has to fight some fierce dogs and ruthless gangsters and finally the Big Boss himself.
This is a good movie that is well worth watching.
Bruce Lee kicks high in this classic kung fu film.......2005-08-30
Bruce Lee (The Chinese Connection, Game Of Death) plays Cheng, who goes to work at a Ice Packing plant and winds up finding out that there is drugs within the ice itself. Soon, after he becomes the foreman, his relatives go disappearing and he finds out the factory's owners are behind it. So, Lee takes on the vicious Bangkok drug ring vowing to his Mom that he would never use his pyhsical powers again but in this time of crisis, Lee breaks the oath in order to put an end to this once and for all. Classic, classic..and a masterpiece of it's time, Fists Of Fury doesnt start off with Lee in kung fu action, he's laid back until it's time and when ever in this movie he is kicked or flying around....escpecially the last couple of fights within the ice factory and the end fight where Lee waltzs up to the factory's head honcho eating some sort of bread, Lee leaves a sting of a prescene that echoes to this day. All hail Lee, for he is The Legend.
The film that introduced the world to Bruce Lee.......2005-08-23
Fists of Fury is the film that revealed the world an extraordinary, brilliant and lovable Chinese American known as Bruce Lee. The film tells the tale of a simple Chinese farm boy who arrives at an ice packing plant outside of Bangkok, Thailand to work for his uncle. Of course, the local thugs are giving everyone a hard time. However, unlike most of his films, Bruce is initially reserved about using his vicious Jeet Kune Do moves against the bad guys, and his less skilled friend does the majority of the fighting in the first half of the movie. But when Bruce is pushed to the edge.....you had better watch out.
My only disappointment is that the majority of Lee's opponents are chinese kung fu fighters and he never faces anyone using Thailand's own martial art, Muy Thai kickboxing. Thai and Chinese racial relations have never been the warmest so the film production was beset with problems. However, anyone wanting to examine the film career of the amazing Bruce Lee is sure to check out the Fists of Fury.

ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE, A GOOD OLD-FASHIONED RIP OFF.......2007-06-23
Amazon should ban sellers of this DVD. It looks like someone copied a VHS to DVD. It sounds like James Earl Jones is doing voice overs FOR EVERY CHARACTER, women included. And there are no sound effects during the fights. I almost want to sue the seller, on principle alone.
What a disappointment!.......2007-04-11
DO NOT BUY THIS DVD, IT'S A COMPLETE RIPOFF!
I'm a big fan of Bruce Lee. I thought this double feature would be a good bargain for the price. Well, you really get what you pay for.
The quality of picture and sound is so terrible that you sometimes can't even see or hear the characters. I'm truly surprised that this 'piece of garbage' is still on the market after all this time.
Somebody, please take it OFF! It's an insult to Bruce Lee and his fans.
defective transfer.......2006-06-24
not only does the quality of this dvd suck, the side with the chinese connection runs at about 85% speed, so everyone sounds like james earl jones - even the women.
keeeRAP.
How about zero stars?.......2005-12-16
It's a good thing I only paid $3.00 for this at Goodwill. As everyone says, the quality sucks and the vocal quality in Chinese Connection is inexcusable...Bruce has a voice like lurch. What the hell were the jerks at Madacy thinking? Lee would reach in their rib cages and rip out their hearts!
bruce lee is the man!!!!!.......2003-08-16
while i agree the transfer is not as good as some dvds, it's really not all that bad people, and you get 2 movies for the price of one dvd. i thought this was worth my ten dollars, and you can't deny how good these classics really are. they're not as good as enter the dragon, but they are awesome movies.

Total TRASH! Don't even think about wasting your money!!.......2005-06-26
The 1st "movie": Fist of Fear, Touch of Death is so bad I didn't even watch the next 2. The uninitiated will possibly not know that the footage that purports to be about Bruce's life, family and ancestry is all rubbish and was actually taken from 2 different movies: The ancestors "cuts" in color are from a colossally poor period piece that would be funny if it didn't seem to be taking itself seriously. While the black and white parents-and-family "cuts" actually are truly a young Bruce in a Hong Kong film that he made before returning to the U.S. to live. However the scenario is totally misrepresented. All of the other participants are actors as well and not correctly identified. Nor is the dubbed dialog related to what is really being spoken (in Cantonese) by the actors. Yet a third source is tapped for the "supposed interviews" which are not with the speaker at all, but with someone else regarding the work Bruce did on the "Longstreet" TV show in '71 and once again the voice-over not only is not really Bruce and is again, not accurate (and he was speaking English during those interviews). One would be better served to buy the "Legend" DVD from the -Bruce Lee Master Collection- or the more recent "Bruce Lee: The Warrior's Journey" to see and hear in Bruce's own words and voice what the NON-"What's Up Tiger-Lily" version is of the early Hong Kong (black and white) and what the "Longstreet" interviews have to reveal about him.
If this is meant to be a spoof and they just forgot to mention that anywhere, then shame on them. I don't find it even remotely humorous, not to consider the generations of people who might not know any better since his untimely death 32 years ago.
bad.......2005-01-13
Don't buy this. "From the Grave" is overdubbed b/w film without Bruce Lee in it. The other two aren't great either.

A Friend gave me this.......2007-05-22
I thanked him and said nothing. I had already viewed this "Messterpiece" long before on one of those "Mega" collections of Martial Arts movies. Yes, Masterpiece is miss spelled on purpose, so no coments please. As for this junk, skip it and watch "Game Of Death", As bad as it is, its better than this crap!!!!!!!!!!
Descriptions and titles can be misleading.......2007-01-25
This is not a real Bruce Lee film. Some people said it was funny, but it is really just horrible. I couldn't even watch the whole thing. The extra cartoon "Casper" is probably the best part. If you want real Bruce Lee fighting action, you may have to spend more than $4.99.
Everyone is missing the point........2006-07-05
First off the movie is an obvious comedy that knows it is being funny. It IS a funny movie that is a piss take on all the fake Bruce Lee movies being done at the time. The violence is comic to start with. Scenes like the eyeballs are played for laughs. Making Lee's voice fem was an obvious joke too, as was his "Samurai" background. The black and white footage IS Bruce as a child actor. Redubbed to be satirically biographical it cuts between the old film and the 70s B Samurai movie in a direct parody of "The Real Bruce Lee". The skits are meant to be funny as are the would be attackers. There are some real martial arts in the film by excellent practitioners and the point of the whole movie is that you should be yourself. The message is use Bruce to inspire you but be your own self in martial arts and in acting. I liked this very much its fun cheese that doesn't take itself seriously.
Awesome.......2005-08-27
This has to be one of those intentionally bad films. They mislead you by saying it's about Bruce Lee's career. Pretty much everything is fake, but they didn't really try to hide this fact. The setting is the 1979 World Karate Championships at Madison Square Garden where the successor to Bruce Lee is supposed to be determined as a result of media attention. Bruce Lee actually died several years before. Before you know it, they go to the halftime show that depicts Bruce's early days and his great grandfather, who was one of the best samurai swordfighters of the 19th century. The flashback of Bruce's great grandfather in color is most likely re-dubbed scenes from a fictional film set in ancient China,not the 19th century, where the martial artists have unrealistic abilities. The scenes depicting Bruce's early days in black and white have nothing to do with the karate lessons that the poorly dubbed dialogue is talking about, since the characters just sit around and do nothing the whole time. Anyway, everyone knows samurai are not from China or the 19th century. Adolf Caesar mentions Bruce Lee as the king of kung fu in the beginning, but in the flashbacks and other parts, they say that Bruce does karate, which is also from Japan and not China. A karate tournament that happens every year hardly seems to be appropriate in determining the succesor to Bruce's title, especially since the championship fight that lasts only two rounds features two fighters who are probably no better than the couch potatoes in your local martial arts class. Perhaps even more insulting than a karate match resembling a boxing match determining the king of kung fu title is that the suggestion that the winner might inherit Bruce Lee's supposed curse, the touch of death. At least the main characters had the decency to conclude that the event could not live up to Bruce Lee's legacy.
The convesations with Bruce Lee are two or more scenes of a person alternated between each other, with the words edited and entirely different backgrounds. When Bruce is supposed to be showing Aaron Banks his new move, they simply cut to Aaron Bank's face and play some fake karate noise in the background. The two of them don't even wear the same clothes throughout the whole conversation. The fight scenes where Ron Van Clief and Bill Louie beat up sex crazy street gangs teaming up on women joggers in parks are entertaining, but not very impressive. The main events are skinny guys in pajamas sparring with each other, rather than the promised highlights from Bruce Lee's career. The demonstrators need protective gear for kicks, but if Bill Louie tosses someone's eyes to the crowd, it's just part of the show. Aaron Banks demonstration of the touch of death or vibrating palm turns out to be nothing more than breaking a board with his fist. Fred Williamson is supposed to be starring with Bruce Lee, which of course is no longer possible, but he doesn't even do any fighting in this film. And his "girlfriend", who looks like she got a face transplant and had all the color bleached from her skin, begs him to satisfy her. Why would Fred be sleeping with someone he doesn't want to have sex with? He gets mistaken for Harry Belafonte, just like how every Chinese film ever made happens to be about Bruce Lee in this movie. In some versions, there is a Casper the Ghost cartoon in the special features, which is apparently just for the sake of having special features. Even though it's a cheap film, there's no excuse for the Chinese samurai and other blatant inaccuracies. After the tournament is over, Adolph Caesar says it's good that Bruce can no longer be beaten and asks "why should we try to topple his legacy", which is exactly what this film is doing.
Here Comes The Beaver.......2004-12-03
Unlike me, you have the help of these hilarious reviews to spell it out for you: this is a very uproarious rip-off of Bruce Lee. It's kinda like Shaft and Tiger Lily sitting down to dinner at the Cleaver's. It's so shockingly bad, it's good. I paid a buck for a copy. It was a good price.

Great movies, Bad DVD.......2004-03-03
Buy a better version of these classics, this DVD should be avoided at all costs. If you like the movies, you'll feel insulted by the horrible sound and low quality transfer.
JUNK!!! Need I say more!!! A complete waste of $!!!.......2003-12-30
Sad,Sad,Sad!!! Two great Bruce Lee flicks on two crappy DVD's!!! These look much worse than SLP VHS tapes!!! A complete waste of money!!! Avoid these at all costs!!!BOO!!!
not worth a nickel.......2003-08-11
i found this on sale for $..., what a deal i thought....
i went home and tried very hard to watch these dvds. they were by far the poorest quality dvds i have ever had the displeasure of watching in my life. the sound is awful,, you can actually hear tv commercials being played in the background,, i know it sounds weird, but its true. the picture constantly gets fuzzy, and the color gets weird,,,,, well anyway,, take a vhs and beat the hell out of it then stick it in your vcr and you will have better quality than this dvd.
It is ashame.......2000-06-20
When I purchased my DVD player this Bruce Lee film set was one of my first DVD purchases. What a disappointing waste! I am glad this DVD set wasn't my first exposure to Bruce Lee or his films. If it were, I never would have become as big a fan as I feel that I am. The sound is ludicrous -I mean it is insulting. The picture quality was so bad that at first viewing, I kept cleaning my glasses in dis-belief. I simply couldn't watch this #@*`! Don't waste your money like I did; then again it is your money. And some people don't believe #@*` stinks until they smell it. If you wish to see these truly exciting films I would suggest you try some other format or producer (which ever comes first). I threw this set away -after I vented my disappointment on it with a pair of scissors.
Very poor quality.......2000-03-07
I usually keep every DVD I buy regardless if the movie is good or not, this one was so bad that I promptly returned it the same day i bought it. I couldn't wathch more than 5 minutes. Sound and Picture quality are horrible.
