I stillhave it did not bother going back, maybe will be worth something sometime

By all means keep the HKL ETD DVD you have. It's up to you and of course, fine by me.

All i'm saying is imo the solo DVD sp. ed. is certainly worth holding on to or better yet the double disc set. Both impressive releases of Bruce Lee's fists' n feet box-office hit. I have both these editions myself.

As good 'ol Del Boy would say "You know it makes sense.".

In the same shop today i saw a DVD of Bruce Lee from the HKL. He is in a yellow top like the GOD and it is called something .... fist, not fist of fury. Is there a way of the fist.Or Legend of the fist

I think there are documentaries rather than a movie If anyone knows could the tell me please, save me going to shop before I look it up

There are tons of Bruce Lee domentaries... don´t try to grab averything you don´t know...

If you want a good and sort of complete collection of Bruce Lee movies just buy the following...

The Big Boss (Fortune Star Remastered)... best print around
The Big Boss (HKL Platinum Edition)... Fortune Star Pal print and best extras around

Fist Of Fury (Fortune Star Remastered)... best print around)
Fist Of Fury (HKL Platinum Edition)... Fortune Star Pal print and best extras around
http://www.caps-a-holic.com/vergleic...ergleichID=204

Way Of The Dragon (Fortune Star Remastered)... best print around)
Way Of The Dragon (HKL Platinum Edition)... Fortune Star Pal print and best extras around
http://www.dvdactive.com/reviews/dvd...m-edition.html

Enter The Dragon (Warner 2 Disk Special Edition)
http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/DVDCom...rthedragon.htm

Game Of Death (Fortune Star Remastered)... best print around)
Game Of Death (HKL Platinum Edition)... best extras around
http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/DVDCom...ameofdeath.htm

Game Of Death (HKL)... best print and extras. the only version to have a Cantonese dub
This is not a Bruce Lee movie. It´s was made with left overs from Enter The Dragon but it´s a novelty on it´s own.
In there there´s no guy pretending to be Bruce Lee. He gets killed in the movie and then it´s brother wants revenge.
Fun movie. I liked it a lot...

The Man / The Legend (HKL)... two great documentaries
http://www.dvdactive.com/reviews/dvd...uble-pack.html

The differences between the R2 and R3 Fortune Star prints are the color timing...

I believe those are enough if you want great prints of all movies and a great selection of extras. There are others HKL edition with another kind of extras but that depends of how much of a buff for extras you are.

Fist Of The Unicorn maybe? But this title was released on DVD by another company.

I have all of HKL's Bruce Lee DVDs and none of them fit the description you gave above. The label did issue a little dragon documentary double bill of Bruce Lee:The Man And The Legend and Bruce Lee:The Legend.

At first i thought this mysterious DVD you mentioned may have been the HKL GOD edition with HMV exclusive Kill Bill-esque sleeve.

Does anyone here have the Ultrabit Edition of New Fist Of Fury? I was wondering what the running time is. Dvdcompare says it is the shorter (by 40 min) Cantonese version. The BBFC site lists 2 versions submitted by Contender, 80 and 105 min versions. I'm a bit pissed of now tbh, I just bought a copy on ebay for £20

I feel for you Steve .That's one of the worst things about buying HK DVDS.

The Hong Kong Legends version is the shorter version (80 minute).
For me that is the best version, the longer version drags in some places.

If you want the 116 minute version you can buy it from sellers on Amazon UK for less that 10£.
New Fist of Fury Ws Dub Sub DVD 1976 Region 1 US Import NTSC: Amazon.co.uk: Jackie Chan, Nora Miao, Ming Cheng Chang, Shen Lin Chang, Siu Siu Cheng, Sing Chen, Kam Cheung, Su Han, Ying-Chieh Han, Po Wei Hou, Wai Hung Ho, Hsiao Hu Liao, Chui Yung Chen

No problem.

If you´re looking for some Hong Kong Legends titles you should check out this Australian Store. Hong Kong Legends were alson released in Australia and are in print to this day. I completed my collection with these versions. The disks are the same but some covers are different... for the better. The prices are also very cheap for some titles.

There are a few titles that are unavailable but they are not out of print.
