The DVD in question i picked up several years ago from HMV and i'll be surprised if it isn't deleted. So i would recommend you search a few online sources. Hopefully, there's bound to be a few copies left for sale somewhere on the 'net.

I used to have a UK quad of Exit The Dragon, Enter The Tiger when I was a kid. I still haven't even seen the film! I wonder what happened to it??? I bet my mum threw it out or something.

No decent extras but to be honest that's kinda expected with these Little Dragon cash-ins. But a glorious print for such a cheap and cheesy film! By far the best looking Bruce Li DVD release i've seen by a mile.
Goodbye Bruce Lee:His Last Game Of Death was also released by Celestial when they were putting out Shaws left, right & centre. They used the title 'The New Game Of Death' No English dub, just Mandarin audio with subs.

Yeah, there`s not many Bruce Li films around in good quality.

Yeah I don't know what it is with mothers but they LOVE to throw all your good stuff out for some reason....

It's a shame you didn't mention this a few weeks back.

I recently gave away my old uncut VHS pre-cert of ETD,ETT to a charity shop along with a few other pre-VRA rarities!

There was a cheap (surprise, surprise!) U.K. DVD of the film issued years ago but this release contained the trimmed B.B.F.C. approved print.

That's the one. Although the copy i had featured static menus and a non-anamorphic transfer despite a claim to the contrary on the cover. The DVD i owned was also a plain white picture disc with only the film's title on in black lettering. Maybe i unknowingly picked up some sort of bootleg release and i can't even recall where i got it from.

I heartily recommend new publication Here Come The Kung Fu Clones by Carl Jones.

Covering the Brucesploitation subgenre the book is well illustrated and written despite the presence of a few typos. The good thing is, Bruce Li gets pretty much half the tome devoted to him as befitting the best known 'Little Dragon' impersonator.

Of course, fellow Bruce Lee impostors Dragon Lee and Bruce Le get exposure within the book's pages but imo HCTKFC is Bruce Li's baby all the way.

I keep meaning to pick up a copy of that book. The last two times I tried Amazon it was out of stock though.

Try contacting forum member John Overall. That's how i obtained my copy.

I just finished reading HCTKFC last night and enjoyed it. I spotted a few mistakes here and there but nothing to detract from the book's overall entertainment value. Quite a good little read imo.

Nice to see Arrow's Goodbye Bruce Lee:His Last Game Of Death DVD getting another glowing review for PQ. This release really is the best looking Bruce Li DVD i've ever seen. A true revelation after all the cheap and crude coasters we're normally used to seeing.
