Enter the Dragon

[LordCrumb]

Hey guys, I got a PM from the Rewind Forums (DVDCompare.net) asking to clear up some issues about the first release of Enter the Dragon.

It was one of the first titles I submitted specs for, and someone recons they are wrong, and the docco "A Warriors Journey" is not actually on the disc.

My disc is rooted, and I can't get it to load, and when it does, it just keeps skipping and the menu wont load.

Full disc specs and special features (with runtime on them) would be super helpful for those guys.

Unsure where to post this one, as it covers a few categories. Feel free to move it elsewhere, if you deem it out of place here.

1) http://caps-a-holic.com/hd_vergleiche/m ... ultiID=250 has a few visual comparisons with audio specs, if someone wants to add the link to http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/f ... ?fid=10949 .

2) Some more reviews at http://www.dvd-basen.dk/uk/home.php3?se ... k&region=z if someone wants to check them.

3) The important stuff (and reason for this post): Can someone check with HamishT please, and confirm if his release ( Enter the Dragon, Blu-ray ALL Australia - Warner Home Video , http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/f ... id=10949#5 ) has the errors I'm reporting here please?

3A) The disk's audio options are incorrect - even as advised on the back case cover. The disk has 5 soundtracks: "English Dolby Digital 5.1 640kbps", and mono mixes in French, German, Italian, Spanish. The cover incorrectly advertises "English 5.1, Spanish 2.0 Surround, French Mono".

3B) Subtitles on disk are in English, French, German, German HoH, Italian, Italian HoH, Spanish, Dutch, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish. Back cover only advertises "English, Spanish, French".

3C) More importantly, "Bruce Lee: A Warrior’s Journey (99:56)" cannot be found on the disk. Again it is also advertised on the back cover, but nowhere to be seen on this disk's extras. It is the only missing extra from the list here.

3D) Re video transfer, someone might wish to add the note that it's a 1080i transfer converted to 1080p - can't explain the jaggies any other way - as seen on the caps-a-holic.com German bluray zoomed in pictures. This Oz release suffers identical visual issues (may even be the same VC1 transfer).

3E) The Original 1973 Featurette is titled "Location: Hong Kong With Enter The Dragon" (during the extra's screening), and on the back case cover.

3F) The "Audio Commentary with producer Paul M. Heller and screenwriter Michael Allin" is advertised/listed on the disk's extras as "Commentary with producer Paul M. Heller" (no mention of screenwriter Michael Allin); case cover does not even list it at all. However, Michael Allin is definitely in the commentary (comes in at 3:48).

3G) Guess it's uncut (102:33).

4) If HamishT stands by his submission, we're probably looking at another Warner bluray ALL Australian release (the 3rd being the 40th Anniversary, which this is not). This has 2007 written on the rear cover (albeit as "packaging design"; no other info on cover or disk to advise when it was made, and I don't have a bluray drive to check the file dates). It is NOT the 40th anniversary version, and nothing on the packaging suggests it is.

Not sure man, it's been well over a year since I last watched it. The disc doesn't appear to have any damage.

Tried it in 3 stand-alone players, and my PC

Some of those points quoted, are just Cover issues, not actual Spec issues (ie; Subtitles).

[Supernaut]

Aww sh!t I just realized I don't have the original, just the 40th Anniversary.

Anybody else able to help a brother out?

Bugger! I'm sure someone must have it.

Though not listed in his collection, I think I remember Badas saying he had it not long back, PM him and see what he says. If not, there are quite a few other regulars who have it listed in their collections.

I could have sworn A Warriors Journey is on the disc. The one BDInfo scan that I was able to complete before my disc shat itself, did show two 90min+ video tracks.. one for the film, and one for something else.

I don't see why I would have submitted incorrect info.

What audio and subtitle tracks are available?

Now that i think of it didnt we also recieve a rerelease that dropped a warriors journey? Pretty sure every country did. Mayb i lucked out and got a reissue? Im sure i bought mine in 2009 though?

[LordCrumb]

I bought mine on first release here in NZ..

I can get a partial scan of my disc:

1st track: 01:42:33 (the film)
2nd track: 01.39:56 (this has to be Warriors Journey, it matches my submitted run time perfectly).
3rd track: 01.27:27 (curse of the dragon?)

the rest are under 30 minutes.

I also can see only four audio tracks (one is the commentary, English 5.1, French 1.0 and Spanish 2.0), and English , French and Spanish subtitles.

My disc has to be different.

Outer Ring: BVDL-004890A1
Inner Ring: BDVL-004890B1

[LordCrumb]

[Supernaut]

Really need scans of the backs now so punters looking for the old disc can tell the difference.

The scan on the current listing is the original release. I scanned it ages ago. We just need a scan of the new one, but from what i've read, Warner didn't change anything as people still think the Warriors Journey is still featured.

Is that correct Technique? Warriors Journey is still listed on your one?
