ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE, A GOOD OLD-FASHIONED RIP OFF.......2007-06-23
Amazon should ban sellers of this DVD. It looks like someone copied a VHS to DVD. It sounds like James Earl Jones is doing voice overs FOR EVERY CHARACTER, women included. And there are no sound effects during the fights. I almost want to sue the seller, on principle alone.
What a disappointment!.......2007-04-11
DO NOT BUY THIS DVD, IT'S A COMPLETE RIPOFF!
I'm a big fan of Bruce Lee. I thought this double feature would be a good bargain for the price. Well, you really get what you pay for.
The quality of picture and sound is so terrible that you sometimes can't even see or hear the characters. I'm truly surprised that this 'piece of garbage' is still on the market after all this time.
Somebody, please take it OFF! It's an insult to Bruce Lee and his fans.
defective transfer.......2006-06-24
not only does the quality of this dvd suck, the side with the chinese connection runs at about 85% speed, so everyone sounds like james earl jones - even the women.
keeeRAP.
How about zero stars?.......2005-12-16
It's a good thing I only paid $3.00 for this at Goodwill. As everyone says, the quality sucks and the vocal quality in Chinese Connection is inexcusable...Bruce has a voice like lurch. What the hell were the jerks at Madacy thinking? Lee would reach in their rib cages and rip out their hearts!
bruce lee is the man!!!!!.......2003-08-16
while i agree the transfer is not as good as some dvds, it's really not all that bad people, and you get 2 movies for the price of one dvd. i thought this was worth my ten dollars, and you can't deny how good these classics really are. they're not as good as enter the dragon, but they are awesome movies.

Sinewy, sleek, and oozing charisma, Bruce Lee brought sex appeal to the martial arts genre, dominating even the most cliché-riddled adventures with his mix of good-humored geniality and focused intensity. His first film, the low-budget Hong Kong adventure Fists of Fury (as it was titled in the U.S.), is exactly that: a raw, rough-edged revenge drama of a country boy who uncovers a heroin-smuggling ring. Yet the film comes alive when Lee pounces into action, his wiry, well-muscled frame erupting in lightning moves. His follow-up, The Chinese Connection, keeps the revenge theme going for a tale of a kung fu student who avenges his teacher's death at the hands of a Japanese rival. The international success of both films enabled the increasingly ambitious Lee to write and direct his own feature, Return of the Dragon, a more-comic tale of a Chinese country boy who travels to Rome to help out cousins under the thumb of local mobsters. Though filled with excellent martial arts bouts, all choreographed by Lee, the highlight is a death match between Lee and karate champion Chuck Norris in the Roman Colosseum. Lee died before completing his last feature, Game of Death, and a rather unconvincing double runs around much of the film between footage of the real Lee, but the climax features an impressive bout with basketball star and Lee student Kareem Abdul-Jabar. Though a cut above most martial arts movies of the period, these are no masterpieces, but then who watches a Bruce Lee film for the story? In these films, plot is simply there for the scenes between Lee's amazing fight sequences. The documentary Bruce Lee: The Legend completes the collection. --Sean Axmaker

THE MASTER COLLECTION OF BRUCE LEE.......2006-05-16
i bought this set at a used dvd store for $15.00 and was very happy to find it. watching it i was struck by how much talent and energy this man had! had he lived he would have one of the most bankable stars in the world.to be sure these are low buget action movies, but mr. lee brought a style to them that no other actor could have brought, his every move was a graceful and well thought out move,even just walking down the street. these are all the films he made(except for enter the dragon which he made for warner bros.) and he shines in them all,(game of death the movie he was making when he died is very weak and only comes alive when they use the footage of him that was shot) and if you love lee or good kung-fu movies this is one to own
I GOT THIS AT BESTBUY FOR 19.99, GO CHECK IT OUT........2006-03-16
This is easily one of the best investments to my collection, I mean 4/5 of bruce lee's movies, and a documentary.
Now fisrt of all, all of these movies are the original dub and very watchable picture.
Fist of fury(Big Boss)----- very fun movie with bruce beating up a lot of people. The end fight is prettygood because it was so authentic. Pai ying is the man, he is also the action coordinator on this.
Chinese Connection(Fist Of Fury)------ One of the best movies of all time. Great fight scenes(check it out when he takes on the whole gym), great score, great acting, hell, even Lo wei is an actor in this movie, and he is pretty freaking good.
Return of the dragon(enter the dragon) directed by bruce lee, action directed by bruce lee, and starrign bruce lee. Come on bruce, you could have put your name as composer too. This movie kicks ass, better than big boss, but not as good as chinese connection. Everyone knows this is the one where bruce fights chuck norris at the end. And it is everythign it is made out to be, certainly not the best though.
Game of death---this is your classic case of fastforwarding kungfu cinema. The fight scenes are pretty good, but a VERY FORGETTABLE story.
Documentary-------very good doc. that talks a lot about what bruce was planning for game of death(sounds sweet), and what other characters he wa experimenting with for hsi future movies. Can you believe he had a blind swordsman idea in mind for himself. There is a lot of other important info also. 5/5 for the documentary, good for any bruce fan.
So I have seen this at cd tradepost for 14.99, and 19.99 at Best buy, so I don't know where the hell that $38 price comes from.
Great product.......2005-10-14
Amazon has great customer service. The Bruce Lee Collection was new- still in its original packaging and still at a great price.
Great Condition.......2005-10-05

Great movies, Bad DVD.......2004-03-03
Buy a better version of these classics, this DVD should be avoided at all costs. If you like the movies, you'll feel insulted by the horrible sound and low quality transfer.
JUNK!!! Need I say more!!! A complete waste of $!!!.......2003-12-30
Sad,Sad,Sad!!! Two great Bruce Lee flicks on two crappy DVD's!!! These look much worse than SLP VHS tapes!!! A complete waste of money!!! Avoid these at all costs!!!BOO!!!
not worth a nickel.......2003-08-11
i found this on sale for $..., what a deal i thought....
i went home and tried very hard to watch these dvds. they were by far the poorest quality dvds i have ever had the displeasure of watching in my life. the sound is awful,, you can actually hear tv commercials being played in the background,, i know it sounds weird, but its true. the picture constantly gets fuzzy, and the color gets weird,,,,, well anyway,, take a vhs and beat the hell out of it then stick it in your vcr and you will have better quality than this dvd.
It is ashame.......2000-06-20
When I purchased my DVD player this Bruce Lee film set was one of my first DVD purchases. What a disappointing waste! I am glad this DVD set wasn't my first exposure to Bruce Lee or his films. If it were, I never would have become as big a fan as I feel that I am. The sound is ludicrous -I mean it is insulting. The picture quality was so bad that at first viewing, I kept cleaning my glasses in dis-belief. I simply couldn't watch this #@*`! Don't waste your money like I did; then again it is your money. And some people don't believe #@*` stinks until they smell it. If you wish to see these truly exciting films I would suggest you try some other format or producer (which ever comes first). I threw this set away -after I vented my disappointment on it with a pair of scissors.
Very poor quality.......2000-03-07
I usually keep every DVD I buy regardless if the movie is good or not, this one was so bad that I promptly returned it the same day i bought it. I couldn't wathch more than 5 minutes. Sound and Picture quality are horrible.
Average customer rating:
- Bruce shines in this, his best the lot
- This is a review of the Laugh Track version
- Sound is bad but the movie is good
- Authentic Bruce Lee
- one of the best, just so happens it was one of the first

Bruce shines in this, his best the lot.......2007-05-22
I love this movie and still think its Lee at his best. Between the scene of him as a very awkward phone repairman, and the scene where he takes on a horde of bad guys with Nunchucks, this is his most complete performance on screen to me and showed his talent at its best. This transfer is of a much better quality than most of the releases out there of this movie. If you ever wanted to see just how good and talented Bruce was, just watch this one and find out.
The story is standard for these movies but Lee bumps the action and the acting up to give this one it's true classic reputation.
This is a review of the Laugh Track version.......2006-07-12
I wanted to like this but in the behind the scenes interviews they show little respect for Bruce Lee and that got me started off on the wrong foot. Then I watch it and it just isn't that clever. I did laugh once or twice but i expected something more along the lines of What's Up Tiger Lilly. At least they could have had the actors play orientals. Too bad because this concept could have been funny.
Sound is bad but the movie is good.......2006-06-12
The voices are dubed in and it is in a deep voice but there a some great fight seens but if you want to see a really good Bruce Lee movie get Enter the Dragon.The Chinese Connection is still a good movie
Authentic Bruce Lee.......2006-03-04
such a low rating for this movie! thats why i put my 5 stars here. this is the most authentic bruce lee you can ever watch. absurd soundtrack , fat guy ... really does not matter. its a purely raw kung fu classic, tenfold the sum of its parts!
one of the best, just so happens it was one of the first.......2006-03-02
Chinese connection will always hold a special place in my heart. I loved everything in this movie. If they didn't have that fat guy fighting bruce with a sword, this would be my favorite movie ever. The acting job by everybody was superb, also the soundtrack was really well applied to the different scenes. The action isn't up there with Fist of Legend, but it was the best for it's time, and I mean a long time. The kick at the end where the Japanese guy flies like 20 ft, that is actually Jackie Chan, so you are actually checking out the beginning of Jackie's career also.
