Bruceploitation DVD thread

[bolofan]

So I thought it would be good to make a thread relating to Bruce Lee clone films and the best versions available, as the releases for these films seem like a bit of a mixed bag.

I'll begin to compile a list and anyone who has any info on the discs, movies etc should comment below, then I can update the list.

Also, if I make any mistakes, then correct me.

[chen lung]

Crash Cinema DVD of 'Enter The Fat Dragon' is Cantonese (no English dub) with English/Chinese subtitles. Not sure if it's 2:35:1, a little less from memory.

[Guest Markgway]

Good idea for a thread.

[chen lung]

And that crash cinema release of Enter The Fat Dragon is not uncut.

Really?

What's it missing?

[Kaal]

"Bruce's Deadly Fingers

DVD (R1, VCI, US)"

Just checked my version of this, it's not LBX, it's anamorphic ws great picture quality.

Also, Platinium has a good release of Return Of The Tiger, LB (checked the disc now, so it's LB) Should be uncut.

Also you can add Ninja Strikes Back to the list, Bruce Le flick. Remastered anamorphic widescreen and uncut, from Film2000

[bolofan]

Made adjustments to "enter the fat dragon" and added "ninja strikes back".

I have the DVD of NSB and it is definitely LBX not anamorphic. Its uncut though, which is good.

[Chen Kuan Tai]

original title of Ninja Strikes Back is Bruce Strikes Back

Bruce Le's Greatest Revenge

best version:

DVD (R2, CMV, Germany)

Pal, WS 2.20:1, German & English dub, uncut version

Edge Of Fury

best version:

DVD (R2, F.I.P., France)

Pal, WS 1.85:1, French dub only, uncut version

Odd, my UK DVD of Ninja Strikes Back is anamorphic

[bolofan]

Odd, my UK DVD of Ninja Strikes Back is anamorphic

The one with just the top half of a ninja on the front?

I brought it on the week of its release, so maybe the print was good enough that later issues were anamorphic? I'll change it to anamorphic then.

[Kaal]

for what three versions? german dvd is the best version and you should only quote the best version if there's no competition, what have the other versions what the german dvd doesn't have? ntsc or? we don't want to be funny !!!

ps: there're some other movies where you have quoted a few versions too, that's nonsense, look therefore at BL we miss you and FoF3

Because someone might see one of those DVD's in a shop and think, I wonder what that version is like etc? Is it worth buying?

Basically I'm listing most versions of each movie, its not the end of the world.

You can see which one is best from looking.

Plus, if I run out of space then I'll get rid of shit versions etc.

[Guest Markgway]

Bolofan is right... it's worth mentioning versions to avoid.

Ok, thought cause your first posting "Bruce Lee clone films and the best versions available" but it's ok to see what's good and what's crap.

It's not the end of the world. LOL, still time to watch crap.

[moska]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't VCI's Bruce's Deadly Fingers missing Bruce's last fatal strike in the last scene?

[bolofan]

If you're sure then I'll update the thread. Anyone confirm this?

[Killer Meteor]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't VCI's Bruce's Deadly Fingers missing Bruce's last fatal strike in the last scene?

Yes, a new The End title card was inserted (not by VCI but whoever handled the original theatrical distribution in the US) and this took out the original, which was on the final strike.
