Such High Potential, But Ultimately An Abomination!
PLEASE READ ALL THE ADDENDUM NOTES, BEFORE POSTING A COMMENT. THANKS!
ADDENUDUM 1: As of 1st August 2013, Shout Factory have pulled this set from distribution, and are in the process of doing... something. No one is quite sure what is being done, but something is being done. (Shout Factory seem extremely reticent to tell anyone what they are doing, more's the pity.) The new release date is supposed to be 17th September 2013. I will update my review as-and-when I have further news! In the meantime, do NOT buy this version of the set, otherwise you will almsot certainly regret it!
ADDENDUM 2: The New, Revised Edition of this set, can now be pre-ordered from Amazon from this link here...
Bruce Lee Legacy Collection (4 BluRay/ 7 DVD) [Blu-ray]
However, we still have NO DETAILS YET as to what has been done to rectify the previous sets problems. So please be aware of...
Upscaled DVD Transfers, not real HD
This could have been the definitive release of Bruce Lee's films, but Shout instead released it with DVD transfers upscaled to 1080p. The fault may lie ultimately with Fortune Star for providing them with these abominations, but Shout should have known better... Very disappointing.
I was looking forward to buying this.
But the decision to move forward with SD upscales instead of obtaining true HD masters, which obviously already exist, was a significant mistake. I guess I will be ordering the Hong Kong Blu Rays instead.
