Sinewy, sleek, and oozing charisma, Bruce Lee brought sex appeal to the martial arts genre, dominating even the most cliché-riddled adventures with his mix of good-humored geniality and focused intensity. His first film, the low-budget Hong Kong adventure Fists of Fury (as it was titled in the U.S.), is exactly that: a raw, rough-edged revenge drama of a country boy who uncovers a heroin-smuggling ring. Yet the film comes alive when Lee pounces into action, his wiry, well-muscled frame erupting in lightning moves. His follow-up, The Chinese Connection, keeps the revenge theme going for a tale of a kung fu student who avenges his teacher's death at the hands of a Japanese rival. The international success of both films enabled the increasingly ambitious Lee to write and direct his own feature, Return of the Dragon, a more-comic tale of a Chinese country boy who travels to Rome to help out cousins under the thumb of local mobsters. Though filled with excellent martial arts bouts, all choreographed by Lee, the highlight is a death match between Lee and karate champion Chuck Norris in the Roman Colosseum. Lee died before completing his last feature, Game of Death, and a rather unconvincing double runs around much of the film between footage of the real Lee, but the climax features an impressive bout with basketball star and Lee student Kareem Abdul-Jabar. Though a cut above most martial arts movies of the period, these are no masterpieces, but then who watches a Bruce Lee film for the story? In these films, plot is simply there for the scenes between Lee's amazing fight sequences. The documentary Bruce Lee: The Legend completes the collection. --Sean Axmaker

THE MASTER COLLECTION OF BRUCE LEE.......2006-05-16
i bought this set at a used dvd store for $15.00 and was very happy to find it. watching it i was struck by how much talent and energy this man had! had he lived he would have one of the most bankable stars in the world.to be sure these are low buget action movies, but mr. lee brought a style to them that no other actor could have brought, his every move was a graceful and well thought out move,even just walking down the street. these are all the films he made(except for enter the dragon which he made for warner bros.) and he shines in them all,(game of death the movie he was making when he died is very weak and only comes alive when they use the footage of him that was shot) and if you love lee or good kung-fu movies this is one to own
I GOT THIS AT BESTBUY FOR 19.99, GO CHECK IT OUT........2006-03-16
This is easily one of the best investments to my collection, I mean 4/5 of bruce lee's movies, and a documentary.
Now fisrt of all, all of these movies are the original dub and very watchable picture.
Fist of fury(Big Boss)----- very fun movie with bruce beating up a lot of people. The end fight is prettygood because it was so authentic. Pai ying is the man, he is also the action coordinator on this.
Chinese Connection(Fist Of Fury)------ One of the best movies of all time. Great fight scenes(check it out when he takes on the whole gym), great score, great acting, hell, even Lo wei is an actor in this movie, and he is pretty freaking good.
Return of the dragon(enter the dragon) directed by bruce lee, action directed by bruce lee, and starrign bruce lee. Come on bruce, you could have put your name as composer too. This movie kicks ass, better than big boss, but not as good as chinese connection. Everyone knows this is the one where bruce fights chuck norris at the end. And it is everythign it is made out to be, certainly not the best though.
Game of death---this is your classic case of fastforwarding kungfu cinema. The fight scenes are pretty good, but a VERY FORGETTABLE story.
Documentary-------very good doc. that talks a lot about what bruce was planning for game of death(sounds sweet), and what other characters he wa experimenting with for hsi future movies. Can you believe he had a blind swordsman idea in mind for himself. There is a lot of other important info also. 5/5 for the documentary, good for any bruce fan.
So I have seen this at cd tradepost for 14.99, and 19.99 at Best buy, so I don't know where the hell that $38 price comes from.

Great Kung Fu Fare on a "Saturn" Budget .......2005-08-23
This is great old school action. The transfer, even though in 4:3, is pretty good--better than your apt to see with budget DVDs. It's the Chinese vs. the Japanese, with lots of fighting, including some hard-hitting females, even Lo Lieh and Delon Tam lend their capable arms and legs to this fun-filled flick!
AKA : "Scorching Sun, Fierce Winds, Wild Fire".......2004-01-21
"Dragon Connection"? Where'd they come up with
that title? Oh well, lets give Saturn props for
releasing this old little gem. [I wish some other
savvy kung-fu know-it-alls would write some of these
reviews - there are a lot of worthwhile flicks not
getting reviewed on Amazon's site and I've done my
share, lol!]
This is a fun movie: it's got TONS of characters,
lots of fisticuffs, and several of my favorite
stars of the jade screen. Angela Mao stars the
martial bandit, Violet, a female robin-hood who is
actually the daughter of evil Warlord Tung.
Her male counterpart is played by Tien Peng, a
mysterious martial-type who is himself a rebel leader.
The villain, a deputy of Warlord Tung, is played
by the very capable Chang Yi. Now, topping off this
enticing platter of more-or-less mediocre fare, are
Tan Tao Liang and Lo Lieh!!! These guys are just
hysterical to watch together (sheesh, these two
have never been much in the humor department!)
These guys join the rebels of course and keep things
moving (once they show up, which is about 40 minutes
into the flick). This movie is more the mystery and
intrigue type than the more standard revenge plot.
For more info. on the story itself, do a search for
the original (and more colorful) title listed above.
Now, buy this flick! I rate it so highly because its
fun and quite cheap:), the way these old-skoolers
were meant to be.
