Bruce Lee At Golden Harvest Arrow Video 4K UHD and Blu-ray Limited Edition Review

#brucelee #arrowvideo #4kuhd #bluray #physicalmedia

I review Arrow Video’s absolutely stunning boxset Bruce Lee at Golden Harvest. This set finally gives Lee’s films the golden treatment with superlative 4K restorations, audio restorations, beautifully encoded discs, 65 hours of supplements, fantastic artwork, deluxe packaging and the astounding Mandarin Cut of The Big Boss AND The Final Game of Death documentary which is both a film school on a disc and the best film documentary I’ve seen in nearly 20 years.

The only downsides are that Arrow wasn’t able to acquire US rights making this an import release and they weren’t able to use Warner’s new Enter the Dragon 4K master. The disc in the set is a placeholder copy of the 2013 WB Blu-ray. You will need region B capability for the Blu-ray discs in this set.
The limited edition has sold out and the standard box is almost gone but Arrow has announced standalone special editions for each film that include most of the box contents.

Here’s the comparison I mentioned between the Korean cut of Game of Death II/Tower of Death and the slightly longer version on VHS: https://www.movie-censorship.com/repo...
