It was just speculation. I wasn't sure. Just from looking at the picture.

To be fair, that was an extra feature The main film was an upconvert.

There is a bonus disc of extras

So is it a blu/dvd combo pack or is it a separate disc for each of the movies for the original and american versions?

I'd love to be proven wrong, but I'm 99% certain these are the same transfers on every other BL blu-ray out there. While The Big Boss, Fist of Fury, and Way of the Dragon are true HD, I've said time and time again that Game of Death was an upconvert. Not only that, but the color correction on all of these was a pinch off... they're a tad too green/teal. As for the audio, I'm predicting Fortune Star's typical overprocessed 7.1/5.1 tracks with the horrid overlaid sound effects. If Shout adds original mono to these, then they'll be worth picking up. If not... waiting for a sale, if at all.

We have color corrected the first three masters.
Original Mono on the first two.
If someone has the original mono for WAY, send me an PM.
BIG BOSS also features a English dub never before used.. thanks to Toby Russell

The four films are presented on DVD and BD on seperate discs... so eight discs.
The docs and bonus discs are DVDs.

Congratulations Cliff... you have officially made me take back all of my bickering. The fact that this release will have the classic "rejected" Big Boss English dub is quite awesome. I managed to obtain it myself years ago, but it's great that it'll see the light of day to the public! And I'll send you a PM...

The FULL footage? Not just the excerpts from the crappy patchworked "Game of Death" movie they did in 1978? HD quality, restored and remastered?

Jesus Christ, day one for me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry Shout, as much as I love the stuff you put out, I'm not a fan of the packaging. Then again, I also hated the James Bond boxset. Sorry.

[Guydowood]

let the resident custom cover artists have fun with making covers for this set. I hope!
