Enter the Dragon (DVD, 2004, 2-Disc Special Edition)

Bruce Lee was arguably the most important martial arts figure in the 20th century. You may debate his style, techniques, or personality, but there is no doubt that he, almost singlehandedly, raised the consciousness of the Western World to the Martial Arts in the late 1960s-early 1970s. That may be due to his extraordinary talent as an actor, which matched his extraordinary talent as a martial artist, and which was only fully realized once, in this classic film. In this 2004 2-DVD set, you get a crisply remastered version of the film itself, along with a sizeable batch of bonus features detailing his rise from a child actor up through what was to be his next great work, "The Game of Death". That flawed movie was assembled, after his death, using what footage already existed for it, dubs, doubles, and numerous other tricks to cobble something together that would sell and capitalize on the success of "Dragon". Disc 2 of this set traces the history of the original footage, includes all existing footage including, or directed by, Lee himself, and gives you a behind-the-scenes look at what Lee was really trying to accomplish with "Game", including the practice scenes and out-takes that he supervised. You can buy this 2-disc set and save yourself the price of the commercial release of "Game of Death" you won't need it anymore. This gives you the real deal, what you really need!
