Not sure if he is referring to the inclusion of the Bruceploitation films or ETD not being including in the set.

Waiting for official announcements on the contents of any release is always the best thing to do imho.

I prefer wild speculation based on conjecture.

Maybe they'll just give us a box set of Bruceploitation films instead.

I heard that Bruce Lee was going to rise from the grave to approved the new 4K transfers.

It certainly would give Return of the Dragon a new meaning.

The Big Boss

Fist of Fury
- The Japanese English track (with English dubbing, Lee’s genuine battle cries, Mike Remedios songs)

Way of the Dragon
- The authentic Japanese English track (not the Shout & Criterion version that is cut, missing music and plays music in wrong scenes) (with English dubbing, Lee’s genuine battle cries, Mike Remedios theme song). This of course requires them to acquire the slightly extended Japanese cut of the film so that the songs can play in full and in correct places.

This was included on the Japanese set I bought, and it was the best thing on it. The Japanese UHD set, like the French, does not activate HDR, so it's straight-up fake. I have high hopes for the Arrow set.

If Warner does a 50th of Enter it MUST be UHD; it MUST include the full Ahna Capri footage, and it MUST have the theatrical cut. I have the 2K Criterion, which was a blessing, but UHD would be the ultimate.

From what I've heard from a reliable sauce, Warner Brothers wouldn't let Arrow include Enter The Dragon because they are going to be doing their own UHD release next year.

which isn't great news, as they'll likely use the SE version and no OG Mono on it.

All 3 cuts would be nice!

I hope not. I'm hoping they'll take note of what Criterion did with it. Not holding my breath but I am hoping lol. I'd like them to include all those outtakes, it's now or never really. I know we won't get the full Ahna Capri footage as that's owned by a greedy collector now.

The criterion set is cool, the only one I really want on UHD is Enter the Dragon, I’d probably buy them all once they hit preorder, but the Criterion Greatest hits couldn’t have been cooler had I designed it myself. Love the artwork and color scheme…pretty sweet release. I also got it during half off criterion time plus my Barnes and Nobel member discount and paid like $37.00 ish for the set at release

Oh yes, I forgot about there was a third one. Didn't remove all of the stock footage of Bruce?

[saltysam]

The custom blu of GOD 2 i have contains international verson, HK version and Korean version. Hopefully Arrow could do similar, if not maybe 88 films would be an opton.

He's clearly talking about Bill Hunt's. He does a feature called My Two Centos.

Any hopes for The Dragon Lives Again?

Honestly the second I saw it'd include some Brucesploitation my first thought was Game of Death 2. Kind of weird that that movie always gets included in these collections despite being only marginally more of an actual Bruce Lee movie than, I dunno, Exit the Dragon Enter the Tiger I guess. Not that I'm complaining, GOD2 has got to be my favourite good bad movie of all time.

That'd legit blow my socks off. The dubbed international version has always been my go to version, despite the fact that I'm otherwise a hardcore sub only purist, but having all the different versions (including one I've never seen before!) would justify the cost of the whole box set for me.
