Bruce Lee was arguably the most important martial arts figure in the 20th century. You may debate his style, techniques, or personality, but there is no doubt that he, almost singlehandedly, raised the consciousness of the Western World to the Martial Arts in the late 1960s-early 1970s. That may be due to his extraordinary talent as an actor, which matched his extraordinary talent as a martial artist, and which was only fully realized once, in this classic film. In this 2004 2-DVD set, you get a crisply remastered version of the film itself, along with a sizeable batch of bonus features detailing his rise from a child actor up through what was to be his next great work, "The Game of Death". That flawed movie was assembled, after his death, using what footage already existed for it, dubs, doubles, and numerous other tricks to cobble something together that would sell and capitalize on the success of "Dragon". Disc 2 of this set traces the history of the original footage, includes all existing footage including, or directed by, Lee himself, and gives you a behind-the-scenes look at what Lee was really trying to accomplish with "Game", including the practice scenes and out-takes that he supervised. You can buy this 2-disc set and save yourself the price of the commercial release of "Game of Death" you won't need it anymore. This gives you the real deal, what you really need!Read full review
I purchased this deluxe set as a replacement for my aging one. It has value in part because of the extra material (two hand-crafted documentaries). It has 5.1 Doby Digital sound too. The film itself will remain classic. Looking back, a lot of the scenes are dated to the period,however the fight scenes are impeccable. Han is a worthy villain to Lee's formidable skills.

Excellent purchase! Great priced DVD set. Quality excellent. Great DVD set loaded with information. Much more than I expected. Bruce Lee talking about a variety of things. Interview with wife, Brandon Lee, friends, co-stars, producers etc. Too much to list. A must have for the true Bruce Lee fan. Nothing to dislike about this DVD, loved it all. Bought because of combination of price, fast shipping promised & delivered & interest in subject matter. The second DVD filled in a lot of blanks about Bruce Lee that I did not know or was unsure of & the first had the in my opinion best Bruce Lee movie ever, plus some extra's on that DVD as well.The movie contained great martial art action & show cased the incredible martial arts genius & talent that only Bruce Lee had. After watching both DVD's I felt I had a much better understanding of Bruce Lee, who he was & what he was trying to accomplish in his life & why. Was hoping to watch a great movie & learn more about the man. Mission accomplished! Highly recommend!Read full review
This is a great collected edition of Bruce Lee's finest work. This 30th anniversary set will make a very nice addition for any Bruce Lee fan. The only thing that could have made it better is the inclusion of the digital copy.

This 2-Disc Set was great. In addition to the movie being good, the 2-Disc Set has lots of interviews of people talking about Bruce Lee, such as, his wife, his son Brandon, his brother, and co-workers. It has footage of Bruce Lee in interviews, on movie sets as a child and as a adult, funeral footage, family pictures, etc. If you are a Bruce Lee fan, this is a great DVD to have in your collection. You learn alot about Bruce and you get to see footage that didn't make it to the movie screen. You learn how Bruce really died--which was disappointing to hear. You would expect that someone who was into physical fitness and morality wouldn't be smoking Cannabis and cheating on his wife. The smoking killed him (caused his brain to swell) and the mistress reported it. Karma! Overall, this was a great purchase.Read full review
