I guess there is still hope for a bare bones release without the extensive color grading and correction work.

The cynic in me thinks possibly most of the work on this is already done and indiego was just a way of raising some of the costs back. Still i'll take this one any way i can. Hopefully the book isn't too far away.

funny side not, Germany is doing another Classic in 2K and it will cost under 1000$ US for  scan, dirt removal and color corrections. yes this here is a major scam, cudos to the ones who are willing to give huge $$$ to them, if they have money to throw away, why not...

yeah for the price there was no risk. It was supposed to be a professionally manufactured blu ray with extras like the Pearl River releases. I enjoy listening to Michael Worth's commentaries, so that would've been worth it for me to pay more over say a Zinemaxploitation BD-R. I can't comment on the business ethics of whether this crowd sourcing is just an attempt to recoup some of his expenses as I'm not privy to the how these things work & I don't know Michael Worth personally. But just from his podcasts and social media stuff, he's never struck me as the type of guy whose main interest lies in making a buck off Bruceploitation but more of an enthusiastic fan of the genre himself.

I missed the news on this. Can you tell me what that "classic" title will be forthcoming? Or are talking about Snake in the Eagle's Shadow II that you already mentioned?

I already received my refund for the blu ray perk from indiegogo for Bruce Lee's Secret. Shame this didn't get funded but the good news is that Bruce Lee's Secret 2.0 funding campaign will be announced soon. As mentioned before, this perk won't have all the extras and color grading work but if it's priced accordingly, I'm willing to give it another go.

Anyone seen any further updates on the book or the plans for Bruce Lee's Secret?

No further updates but he did mention it again on his recent podcast with the guy from Cinema Bushido. He also said something about coming out with a box set of Brucesploitation and wanted to model it after what Arrow does with their genre box sets. Also said that he is doing all the book design and layout himself to cut cost for the upcoming Brucesploitation poster book rather than hiring a designer. So it's taking time for him to learn the nuances of the design software and slowing things a bit.

Cheers, given what you've said and the current worldwide situation i'll lower my expectations for the book coming out till the end of the year.

Is anyone familiar with this French guy? Is he an authority on Bruceploitation? He is offering a free pdf download of his webzine on Fist of Unicorn at his website.

Only one way to find out. DL in progress. 

 

Edit: Never mind, it's not in English.

No, it's actually bilingual. You probably didn't scroll down far enough to get to the English pages.

I'm french and I understand the guy but… honestly I don't know what's the point of his channel ? at first he was visiting the original locations from the Bruce Lee movies… then and now.

but the last couple of videos is just some random bullshit to me… I just don't get it.

I unsubscribed.
