Bruce Lee Ultimate Collection

I saw this for sale at Wal-Mart and wondered whether it was worth buying. Especially since I already own Bruce Lee - The Master Collection Set.

According to this ign review, the video has been improved and they now include the Cantonese and Mandarin sound tracks. And there are a few new extras.

So it might be worth getting if I were to actually watch the movies. Maybe I could sell my Master Collection and get this, but the Master Collection does contain the Bruce Lee: The Legend documentary.

The other DVD I might consider is the Enter The Dragon (Two-Disc Special Edition). This includes both Enter The Dragon and Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey. As well as the documentaries: Blood and Steel, Bruce Lee: In His Own Words, Bruce Lee: The Curse of the Dragon, and Backyard Workout with Bruce Lee.

And now I see there's a Blu-Ray version of Enter The Dragon which also contains Warrior's Journey and the other documentaries. The four reviews linked above are all quite favorable. One to add to my list.

[5/14/11] Saw Enter The Dragon Blu-Ray at Wal-Mart today for only $8. Couldn't resist the price. Unfortunately I see that this is a newer version that doesn't include Warrior's Journey. [I thought it was kind of strange that I didn't see it on the back cover. Didn't know there were two versions of the disk. Oh well..] I guess it doesn't really make that much difference, since it was still in SD on the Blu-Ray disk. So what that means, is I just have to keep my Warrior's Journey. Or if I ever get the earlier version, I can sell or swap the newer version.

Amazon is still selling both versions. The new version (released 6/15/10) for 9.49 and the original version (4/17/07) for $14.99.
