Packaging aside, any difference between this and the Eureka disc?

Pretty much the same aside from packaging and being Region A

Better subtitles, inclusion of the Mandarin mono track (if that's your thing). Otherwise, identical to Eureka in terms of overall picture and audio quality.

I have mixed feelings about this Joe Kim artwork. Some of this stuff look ok but others look really bland and generic.

Just watched The Big Boss Grindhouse version and I got to say that the prostitute & cracker footage was epic made a huge difference to the final scenes.

i believe the grindhouse version is missing a few seconds of footage from the hybrid version

I'm going though my backlog and opened The Executioner Collection. Inside the box was a postcard for The Boxer's Omen.

Has this been released as a standalone version or just on the Shawscope boxsets?

I can't find it anywhere.

James Flower has confirmed that a Shawscope Vol. 3 set will be released next year.

I keep saying this, but I really want them to do a bells-and-whistles release of BRUCE LEE AND I.

I've never seen that before. I'm guessing it's good?

It's garbage imo. It`s been years since saw it only time but recall it was movie about Betty tei ping more than Bruce and just few action scenes and they were not good ones.  I sure would watch it again if in SS3 but hope it will not appear there.

I never got what Bruce saw in her. When you're surrounded by Nora Miao, Maria Yi, Angela Mao and Betty Chung, you're spoiled for choice!

Whether it's Arrow or anyone else, I'd love to see someone release that one. Imagine if Severin got it for that box set -- it'd really illustrate the range of Bruceploitation as a phenomenon.

Arrow will finally release the uncut version of the movie most people want. No more in-zoomed rape-scenes, and blurred titties like in Eureka's release. :coveredlaugh

Receive my copy today of Bruce Lee at Golden Harvest ( the one from Amazon UK). Real fast, ordered on Saturday came today to germany. Cardboard had no scratches or was bounced. What can i say this box is amazing in any way. The 4k Discs are stunning. Never thought i would see the movies again as i did as a teenager in the early 80's in the cinema. I only did checked the discs and will go one by one in the next days. But what i saw first complete was the 1 hour documentation with Wiliam Cheung about his frienship with Bruce science childhood. Very good one and there is much information about how it came that Bruce went into so much gangfights as a teenager. And most important for me how he came to Wing Chun. Think it needs two days nonstop watching alone to see all the extras on the discs.... Never expect such a good boxset !!!!  Best release of the year not only for lover of martial arts movies. This one is for any kind of movie collector !!! 10/10 ultra highly recommended !!!
