Member kungpowmaster Posted November 26, 2010 Member Share Posted November 26, 2010 That HK film, I think I have that on Anchor Bay DVD, called Goodbye Bruce Lee. It is a nice looking widescreen transfer. I think it only has an English dub, but not 100% sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member bruceleeclones Posted November 29, 2010 Member Share Posted November 29, 2010 Is it a DVDR? That's the only explanation I can think of because when I had this disc I remember for sure there were 2 commentaries. But then again, Videoasia never fails to amaze me with the errors made on their discs, so it is possible that some have 2 commentaries, and some only have 1. It's the original DVD, so i don't know why mine doesnt have the second commentary. I remember reading a review which mentioned the same problem, so maybe it was something that happended on the original release of the DVD as I got it when it was first released.

Member shukocarl Posted December 1, 2010 Member Share Posted December 1, 2010 I just recieved Video Asia's MAN & MYTH and there are two commentaries on the disc (3 audio tracks). I'm suprised how much is on the disc...not HKL standard by any means but plenty of extras( Ng See Yuen interview!) and the movie plays ok! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member shukocarl Posted December 6, 2010 Member Share Posted December 6, 2010 Does anyone know how much this film (as BRUCE LEE -TRUE STORY) made in Hong Kong... it was supposed to have played there. Also, what did it do Worldwide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I told you back in the day that this version was decent enough (no jumps, playable, plenty of extras). Too bad it is not widescreen though.

Member ChineseSausage Posted December 13, 2010 Member Share Posted December 13, 2010 I watched this last night, on my St.Clair Vision set. I remember I had watched it before. It's a great one though. And has many great classic scenes, like where Bruce is protecting that old man against those two black Karate guys, and the old man is pleading with Bruce, "that guy's a Karate expert". And Bruce is always showing how Jeet Kun Do is superior to Karate, and Muy Thai. I wish the classics would get the top notch Celestial style DVD re-releases. Which brings a question, if anyone wants to answer: Which of the Bruce Lee clone films have been given a quality DVD release? Exit The Dragon, Enter The Tiger (UK Version), Return Of The Tiger (Trinity Home Entertainment, U.S.) and Fist Of Fury III (German version) are not bad looking, not as good as the already mentioned GBBL from Arrow Films, UK though.

Member ChineseSausage Posted December 13, 2010 Member Share Posted December 13, 2010 So which version is the best looking (and uncut) for Bruce Li: The man and the myth? Regardless of the language. Is it the japanese version? Carl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Daigoro Posted April 14, 2011 Member Share Posted April 14, 2011 I just recieved Video Asia's MAN & MYTH and there are two commentaries on the disc (3 audio tracks) That Japanese print of BRUCE LEE, THE MAN THE MYTH is the best, it's true and wide. It has hard-coded Japanese subs (aka burned in subtitles) but i cannot remember if they are on the actual print, or below. I have to check. If someone is willing to send me those two audio commentaries then i would be willing to take another look at subtitling it. If i do subtitle it, then it would have four audio tracks. (1) would be the English dub (providing the cuts are not different), (2ND) would be the ORIGINAL cantonese audio track, and of course we would have (3/4) 2 Additional audio commentaries. If anyone has the Video Asia version of the film, rip all three of the audio tracks and send them to me. If you don't know how to do it PM me, and i will tell you how. It only takes a few minutes. If you do this then i will make sure you get a copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Silverfox89 Posted April 14, 2011 Author Member Share Posted April 14, 2011 So is the Video asia print of Bruce Lee the man the myth fully uncut then? how is the picture quality on this DVD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member KenSakura Posted April 14, 2011 Member Share Posted April 14, 2011 So is the Video asia print of Bruce Lee the man the myth fully uncut then? how is the picture quality on this DVD? It's fully uncut in terms of the US/European print and the picture quality is acceptable (similar to the UK print). However, as stated the Japanese DVD contains an excellent Mandarin print which contains scenes which were cut when the film was originally released in the west. These include actual stills of Bruce Lee which were presumably cut after Linda Lee took legal action against the distributors. In addition, the end of the movie has a scene of Li and 'Betty Ting Pei' in bed which was also cut. This scene was part of the montage looking at the various rumours surrounding Bruce Lee's death. The Video Asia version is recommended as the special features are great including very informative commentary tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(0:59) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-wMmT5DjIA&feature=related No, the scene has Li and 'Betty Ting Pei' getting intimate. I haven't watched the Mandarin print for a while but as I recall the footage appears after Li is attacked in the street. It's basically going over the many rumours surrounding Bruce Lee's demise. Linda Lee sued the US distributor and received payment regarding the use of Bruce's name. As mentioned, actual stills were removed from the US version and I'm guessing that the distributors didn't want to attract any more heat and decided to cut any implication that Bruce and Betty were more than friends. Interestingly, there is a curious change in dubbing during the scene in which Li and 'Betty Ting Pei' are discussing the script. The US version has Li's voice suddenly change to Shaw Bros style dubbing for a few lines and he asks about Ting Pei's husband?! This doesn't happen in the UK print.

I noticed the dubbing being fishy about that scene recently as well. Did the Lee Estate (i.e., Linda) have something to do with that? Like they (she) had it changed so it wouldn't, you know,"tarnish Bruce Lee's image?" Incidentally, how does the dialogue differ in the UK print? And does anyone know anything about this print?: NSosPUO0W9Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK print is the version which appears in the youtube link a few posts back. I think the version you posted is Cantonese with Mandarin/English subs as it played in HK cinemas.

Member Siu Lung Posted April 14, 2011 Member Share Posted April 14, 2011 I realized it was the Cantonese print with Chinese and English subs, I was more enquiring to the availibilty of the print in the form of home video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
