Still waiting on Amazon to ship my Bruce Lee 4K set, which they somehow aren't getting until the 24th. Dreading to think what state it will arrive in. Far too many people receiving copies with damage. Saw one on Twitter that looked horrendous and Arrow replied to them calling it "minor damage".

Here it is 🫣

For £120 you'd expect a bit of padding in the packaging. They should ask Powerhouse about sending product through the post!

I saw an unboxing video on YouTube and his copy was dinged up too, but no-where near as bad as that.

Wow! i'd be on to Amazon demanding they refund me 20% for that damage. That's terrible.

Edit - My mistake, that's clearly from Arrow in that condition or they wouldn't be commenting on it.

Minor damage? The operative word is damage. There shouldn't be any damage. Cretins.

Yeah a lot of people receiving them damaged. Arrow (or their fulfilment centre) are sending them in a box with a single layer of bubblewrap placed on top.

I don't understand why they contest claims. Surely they take out postage insurance?

From MelonFarmers:

"Cut by the BBFC for X rated cinema release. Fight scenes were substituted for banned nunchuks for 18 rated VHS. Uncut and 18 rated for DVD and 15 rated for 2023 cinema release. The film is uncut in the US but there also exists a shortened Hong Kong Version.

Long-lost unseen footage of the celebrated log fight scene from the Bruce Lee film Game of Death is to be released as bonus material in a new box set marking the 50th anniversary of the famed actor and martial artist's death.

The log fight scene, so called because of the large piece of wood that one of actors wields at the start of the sequence, is part of the approximately 100 minutes of raw footage that Lee shot in 1972, before production was halted to enable Lee to take up Warner Bros' offer to make Enter the Dragon . The scene features Chieh Yuan, as one of Lee's allies, in combat with Dan Inosanto, who plays a master of Filipino martial art eskrima.

The log fight scene was known from photographs taken on the set, and from very brief excerpts used in the 1978 version. It appears to have become separated from the rest of the Game of Death footage after Lee's death, and was discovered in 2016 in the Hong Kong archives of film studio Fortune Star, which now owns the catalogue of Game of Death producers Golden Harvest."

Won't be Peeping Tom as it's with StudioCanal and they are constantly hinting about a new 4K release.

Would be nice if it's What the Peeper Saw but it's unlikely seeing as that is something that would be worth picking up.

Won't be the 2002 film My Little Eye, has that been given a upgrade to blu-ray???

Justin101 · #**17960** 26th July 2023, 04:32 PM

Boxing Helena would be good, not seen that since VHS days.

The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With The Sea does heavily feature a boy spying on his mother through a hole in the wall so that fits well, didn't know there was a film of it actually, I read the book last year while I had covid

I wouldn't put it past them doing the Psycho remake though, could have got the licensing in a job lot with the other 4 films but felt like it didn't fit in the box set?

ZFE would be a 4k special edition which I'd welcome...
