Peter, I believe Fox owns the North American rights to all of the Bruce Lee's films (except for 'Enter the Dragon' which Warner owns). These films which include Fists of Fury, The Chinese Connections, The Return of the Dragon and The Game of Death were first released by Fox onto dvd in a box set and then recently released individually. All versions were sub-par in terms of video, audio, little remastering and barebones extra.
I am just wondering if you are aware of a company called Hong Kong Legends in Britain who has released (or will be in the near future) remastered versions of the above titles and have loaded it with extras for Region 2 consumption. Has there been any talks or discussions to have Fox license these versions for North American releases? Though I am a die hard fan of the Hong Kong martial arts genre, I will not be buying the Fox versions until more effort and thoughts have been put into these releases. And I know many fans share the same thoughts. And since Hong Kong Legends have already made versions which would be very tough to beat, why not just license their versions? Heck, in the near future, they will be releasing a 2 dvd set for 'The Game of Death'.
