DVD Movie Rating for: Bruce Lee the Master Collection

5 out of 5 Stars

Movie Plot of: Bruce Lee the Master Collection

I give this DVD set 3 stars soley because of "The Game of Death." The rest of the DVD set gets 5 stars or maybe 6. For those of you who have seen the wonderful documentry "Bruce Lee: A Warriors Journey" you will be sorely disappointed in this cheap studio rip off of what Bruce Lee intended "The Game of Death" to be. They cut out a good 30 minutes of quality Bruce Lee footage, and totally changed the story. The 5 level pagoto becomes a restraunt! What a load of crap. Bruce Lee's movies always have a underlying message of truth, and "The Game of Death" was supposed to have one also (see the above mentioned documentry for details), but because the intesely greedy and stupid movie studio decided to change the entire plot and theme of the movie after Bruce Lee's untimely death, that underlying message is missing... in short, "The Game of Death" is a disgrace to Bruce Lee.

Well, now that I have that off my chest, the rest of the DVD is unbelievable. Some don't like the cheesy dubbing (the movies were made in China for a Chinese audience), but I think that is all part of the charm of the classic Bruce Lee movies. I watched the other 4 DVDs with a huge smile on my face the entire time. In the end, I do recommend this DVD set wholeheartly. Bruce Lee, the greatest ever.

A five disc set that includes: "Fists of Fury," "The Chinese Connection," "Return of the Dragon," "Game of Death," and "Bruce Lee: The Legend." Who cares about "Game of Death" because a stand-in who looks nothing like the god takes up a lot of screen time. Terrible. Bruce Lee kicks major ... in the other movies. He beats up guys on a rich guy's yard, smacks bad guys in the face with nunchuks and a fat Italian guy who looks like somebody I know. "You know what Chinese spare ribs are?" Comicality. Bruce Lee is an ultimate god after defeating hairy beast Norris and jolly black giant Jabbar! Too much to handle for those mortals. A good set for any immortal to own.
