Editorial Review:
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

Looks like Marketing did its job but Production totally screwed up here. The mostly cardboard package is well designed opening up into 5 holders for each of the dvds that comprise this set. Also included is a nice colour 8-page Program Guide. Unfortunately this overall package falls extremely short where it matters; in another example of the adage "you can't judge a book by its cover" the content is extremely poor! None of the films have been restored picture quality-wise or remastered sound ... Read More

The product came as discribed, but I had to wait the right around 2 weeks for it. Then when I found it came from my state, I was even more frustrating. It's like the seller waited to ship it or something!

Being a fan of Bruce Lee (born Lee Juan Fan in San Francisco in 1940), it's hard not to like this collection with the exception of missing his masterpiece, "Enter the Dragon" by Warner Brothers.
This is the original release of Bruce Lee's movies unlike 'compilations' that sell for a fraction of this. The image quality of the movies is good and it has subtitles. Each disk is comprised of just the movie. However, the extra disk "Bruce Lee: The Legend" chronicles his life and work on ... Read More

This collection is about one of the greatest Martial Artist in movie history, and some of his greatest movies.
Theres just one reason I had to give the collection 4 instead of 5 stars, how could you have a Bruce Lee collection, and leave out Enter the Dragon?
Not only was that arguably the greatest Martial arts movie of all times, but because of that movie guys (& ladies) like me enjoyed games like Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, and Teken.
