A Review, Commentary, and First-Time Reacting to Some Features of the "Bruce Lee Arrow Box Set"

The following video focuses on me and my best friend, Mr. Dean Coleman, reviewing, reacting, and doing commentary on some of the video and film features of the brand-new “Arrow Bruce Lee Box set”.

I am from the United States, and Dean is from the U.K.

This video is a recorded video call between me and Dean, who, like me, is also a very active member in the Bruce Lee Facebook Fan groups.

He is also a moderator for the Facebook fan group: "Bruce Lee is the Only Dragon", which was how I met him almost 5 years ago.

Dean just purchased the "Bruce Lee Arrow Box Set", and we both wanted to see, review, react, and do commentary on some of the features in some of those disks.

Specifically, we watch briefly a few clips from the Mandarin Version of “Fist of Fury” (the official language of the film), and we also watch some of the special features of the 1978 version of “The Game of Death”.

Besides introducing to the majority of you the official language version of the film - which is Mandarin - we also reveal, at the same time, the version differences between the English Dubbed version (Chinese Connection) and the original Mandarin Version of “Fist of Fury”, in which there are a few differences.

As we were watching “Fist of Fury”, Dean educates to me and to all of you how the scene of Bruce Lee’s character fighting the Japanese students in the dojo was cut in the UK version.

Prior to 2001, the Bruce Lee films that were distributed to the UK were severely censored.
Any scenes that included Bruce Lee’s Nunchakus were completely removed.

For a Bruce Lee fan, just imagine that.

It is like the UK censoring all of the footage of Michael Jackson doing the Moonwalk.

So Dean reveals during the Dojo fight how the scene was constructed in the UK version without the Nunchakus being shown.

Also in the video, Dean and I view from the "Arrow Bruce Lee Box Set" all of the version differences of the 1978 version of “The Game of Death” that were in the special features.

While watching these clips, Dean and I talk about the version differences of the 1978 version of “The Game of Death” that we remember growing up watching.

Dean grew up with the Cantonese Version of “The Game of Death”, so as we were watching the Cantonese version of the 1978 "Game of Death", Dean gives an educational breakdown of the scenes in that version and compares it to the original U.S. version (which is the official version of the '78 film).

We also take a brief look for the first time the Japanese Version of the 1978 Version of "The Game of Death" – which we never knew existed.

And we also take a look at some of fight sequences in the Mandarin Version.

Dean and I also react to the area of the "'78 Game of Death Special Features" where Colleen Camp, for the first time ever - as far as I know - describes her experience in making the 1978 version of "The Game of Death".

To me, the anticipation of her finally talking about her experience in making this film for the first time was very much worth it.

So like 2 kids in a toy store, Dean and I spend the whole time reacting for the first time the differences that we most likely never saw before.

And it was all captured on this video.

I want to give a very special "THANK YOU' to "Fortune Star", "Miramax", and "Fanatik FIlms" for giving us their great generosity in allowing this video to be shared with all of you.

I do not take for granted their generosity. Not for a single second.

I want to thank Arrow films for their effort in making this box set.

And the most important under God in Heaven: I want to thank all of you very much for taking the time to see this.

We hope you all enjoy.

As Bruce Lee says to Mr. Longstreet,
"May it Be Well with you."
