Does anybody have either one of these? Can anybody comment on vid quality, extras, etc? Anything missing? Here are links to the movies in question:

I have the Bruce Lee Ultimate Collection box set from Fox and the pic quality is great, it's from the high definition remasters by Fortune Star. For the audio you have a choice of 5.1 DTS English, English 5.1 Dolby surround, or Cantonese and Mandarin stereo. They all have optional English subtitles as well. Game of Death only has the English audio options. Each disc has extras such as interviews and trailers. I think this is the best set available for Bruce's films but of course it's minus Enter the Dragon because Warner Brothers owns the rights to that. I also have HKL's versions of Bruce's films which I bought before Fox's Ultimate Collection came out.

The only drawback re. the Fox Ult. Coll is that the transfers are interlaced rather than progressive but regardless they're still the best on the market for both audio and visual rep.

Here's the thread about Shadow Warriors from the Japanese MA Film forum

Shadow Warriors First Season (http://p081.ezboard.com/fkungfufandomfrm25.showMessage?topicID=988.topic)

I personally was pleased with the set. It was way better than the bootleg I had from before. The only disappointment was that the video was slightly grainy, due to the source material being on film that wasn't really cleaned up. But it's nothing bad.

The Bruce Lee Ultimate Collection DVD set is pretty good... However, the Region 3 version has the five films plus ETD, Chinese version in DTS audio. and a disc dedicated to all the films theatrical trailers and a few celeb interviews...
All films are in original language, Mandarin/Cantonese, and no Eng. dubbs. I have the Fox 5 disc version also, but always seem to find myself watching the Region 3 films. (I never saw the original language versions before this...).
The Fox discs also seem a bit sharper in video quality, just a tad, and I hate the English title song for FOF, sung in English.
I had never heard THAT before purchasing these Fox Discs. Fortune Star/Joy Sales put out the R3 discs. I think it's cool to own both, if you are really into Lee.
