2 out of 5 stars Dreadful DVD Quality.......2004-12-22

First things first: this quadruple feature does not, I repeat NOT star Bruce Lee. The films included star a host of amusingly sub-par Lee imitators that sprung up after his death (Bruce Li, Bruce Le, Bruce Leung, Dragon Lee).
"The Dragon Lives Again" is an unforgettable movie that was the reason I ordered this disc. The premise: Bruce Lee (Leung) is in hell, where he becomes the enemy of a group of famous characters (James Bond, Zatoichi, Dracula, The Exorcist, The Godfather, Emmanuelle) that want to overthrow the emperor of the underworld. Along the way, he befriends the One Armed Swordsman and...Popeye the sailor! A veritable cornucopia of copyright infringements, this is just about the most enjoyably bad Bruceploitation movie you'll ever see.
"Bruce Lee: The Star of All Stars" ("Exit the Dragon, Enter the Tiger") tells the story of one of Bruce Lee's pupils (Li) who wants to unveil the truth about Lee's death. His quest sees him meeting Bruce's mistress, getting tangled with the mob, and even engaging in some Bruce Lee-inspired comedy relief moments.
"Enter the Game of Death" is the best movie on the set. A shameless ripoff of Bruce Lee's uncompleted "Game of Death," it's packed to the gills with surreal and exciting fight scenes. Though Bruce Le is no Lee in charisma, his fighting skills are decent and the action scenes are among the best in a bruceploitation movie. Also starring Bolo Yeung.
I didn't watch Dragon Lee's "Mission for the Dragon." Sue me.
These two double-sided DVDs from VideoAsia are absolutely horrible. "Enter the Game of Death" is widescreen, but it has a jittery picture that makes it nearly unwatchable. "Dragon Lives Again" is in severely cropped and faded full screen that makes the already lacklustre fight scenes that much worse. "Bruce Lee: Star of Stars" is actually in its original Chinese language track...but the subtitles are faded and constantly run off the screen, making the action sometimes impossible to follow! Argh!
The only special feature is something called "InstaAction," which allows you to watch the movies' action scenes skipping past all that pesky plot.

2 out of 5 stars BRUCEploitation...PERIOD........2004-09-23

What can I say...? The only plus signs about this particular 2-pack are the fact that it features one of my childhood fav's, Enter the Game of Death(which, in my opinion, outshined many of the other attempts to present Bruce Lee's true vision for Game of Death) and the Bruce Li film is HOTTT because for the most part he's being HIMSELF and the subtitles and original language give it a certain authenticity that an english dubbed version wouldn't have. What left me P.O.'d was the quality(ie, Enter the Game of Death looked like it filmed during an earthquake and the plot structure wasn't there until Bruce Le got to the Tower of Death...before that, Bruce fights Bolo Yeung in the forest, then they're in the ring and Bruce breaks the guy's neck, then they "fight to the death" by the tower? Gimme a break.) The other films were BRUCE ploitation at worst and not worth mentioning.My advice...save your money and get a hold of Chinese Connection 2, the Fist of Fury Legacy, Exit the Dragon...Enter the Tiger, & Game of Death II.

Take a look, it is a Chinese fake. That is NOT Bruce Lee. It is Bruce Le. A pathetic scamming of a great Chinese-American!

1 out of 5 stars Hopefully, this will be a good DVD.......2004-05-04

Operative word is "HOPE" as I doubt they will release Bruce Lee's films in 5.1 or clean up the picture, even though it is good on other Regions. Let's just hope this DVD has a better picture cleared of all defects, Dolby Digital 5.1, the FULL movie, and some extras. Bruce Lee deserves a hell of a lot more than he gets with these cheap Region 1 DVDs.

3 out of 5 stars WEIRD...VERY WEIRD.......2006-04-08

1st things 1st, the following review is for The Dragon Lives(not to be confused with "Bruce Lee:The Man,the Myth" which also happens to be entitled "The Dragon Lives" in some countries), starring the man himself, Ho Chung Tao. Having seen and collected virtually every attempted Bruce Lee biopic, I had The Dragon Lives to arrive a couple of days ago, and having watched it for the 1st time in life(I swear, this movie got NO play in ATL back in the 80's), my overall impression was that TDLives, in comparison to the other biopics, was one of the WEIRDEST approaches to the life of Bruce Lee one could ever imagine. Here we have a Bruce Lee who acts HOKEY and BUFFOONISH(reminding you more of Jackie Chan at 1st than Bruce Lee), a persistent GOOD OMEN/BAD OMEN THEME/SEQUENCE(w/t thunderbolts, earthquakes and all),a terribly happy-go-lucky soundtrack, exagerrated on-the-spot challenges/feuds, and a rather STRANGE approach to his death(a rather long, drawn out, and over-killed sex scene with Betty Ting Pei, after which he laughs like a madman before "dying"). However, the positives are the way Bruce's character is matured with experience, the action/fight choreography is strong(awesome recreations of Big Boss and Fist of Fury are there), and even his "feud" with the "boxing champion" from the Long Beach competition, in my opinion, gave us a glimpse at what might have been had Bruce Lee and Muhammad Ali gotten into the ring and squared off. Pretty much, TDLives is to Bruce Lee:The Man,the Myth as the Last Temptation of Christ would be in comparison and contrast with the Passion of the Christ. Great movie, lots of action, lots of laughs(via the comical,Jackie Chan-like approach to Bruce's character), and it was true to the time in which Bruce Lee lived...however, contrary to the claims of the production team, TDLives is far from being the most accurate Bruce Lee biopic. There's only a glimpse of his marriage and Brandon Lee(no Shannon) and then he jumps into an affair and "dies" laughing. WEIRD, and for once I'd recommend Bruce Lee:A Dragon Story and Bruce Lee and I over a particular biopic,but TDLives is still a keeper.

5 out of 5 stars THE DRAGON LIVES.......2004-02-08

Okay. If you're buying this DVD hoping to see "The Man The Myth", then you could be disapointed. However, the movie here is THE DRAGON LIVES another Bruce Lee movie! Possibly the best!

1 out of 5 stars disappointed.......2002-06-01

I thought this DVD was a movie called "Bruce Lee, the Man the Myth" that starred Bruce Li as Bruce Lee in a recreation of his life. I was wrong. There is no character called Butchie, Bruce doesn't have multiple endings, and this Bruce doesn't go around parading the Chinese and the superiority of Kung Fu nor does he kick arse. This completely different movie is kind of about Bruce Lee but this Bruce keeps losing fights and the movie is just plain bad.

Besides being mistaken for another movie, the DVD is very plain and bare bones. The video and audio quality is expectedly poor.
