My favorite Bruce Lee movie, but I'll wait for the reviews. I really wonder what this film has to gain from a 4K release.

I saw this at April’s TCM Classic Film Festival ( which celebrated WB’s 100 this year ) and the DCP was bright and beautiful. I can only imagine what HDR will do for it !

I saw the Flashback Cinema viewing a couple weeks back which was being touted as 4k digital 50th Anniversary and I was sitting there thinking the same thing. But I am still going to buy it supposedly this will have both cuts and I will replace the 2k disc in the 4k Arrow set with this.

It does include both cuts of the film. This has been confirmed by WB.

I never saw ENTER THE DRAGON until years after watching KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE

Now, I don't think I need to say much more about the association between both films. However, watching ENTER THE DRAGON after that parody made for a very interesting experience. Was almost hard to take the film seriously, but I do remember enjoying ETD immensely and I am pondering buying this digitally (anticipating the 4k upgrade) as I rarely buy discs anymore.

This film still remains within the top 3 funniest films I have ever seen. I went to the theater countless times to see KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE as a teen.

Have a question...

Is the extended version of DRAGON the better way to watch this film? Does it add much to it? I don't think I have seen the extended version.

Is the extended version of DRAGON the better way to watch this film? Does it add much to it? I don't think I have seen the extended version.

The differences between the theatrical and extended Enter the Dragon are pretty minor. Like less than five minutes, and the Extended cut actually removes something from the theatrical.

FWIW Bruce is said to have preferred the Cantonese version which has the added scene with the priest from the extended cut.

A 50th Anniversary Edition (aka Box-O-Junk) has been added to Amazon

[Robert Crawford]

Not me brother, the regular 4K/UHD is good enough. Hell, I think I still have much of that junk from previous home video releases.

 

[Capt D McMars]

I vote for less swag vs more titles released...seems a better trade off, to Me
