Arrow Video - Bruce Lee at Golden Harvest Boxset - **UNBOXING** 

Nice!! we only managed Fist of Fury ( had to travel cities to see it and it made it an expensive trip all in all, but worth it!)

@@TheFanaticalDragon Enter the Dragon is next month. Cheers Dragon....next time you are in London, check The Prince Charles cinema out! Classics all the way.

Thank you mate, sorry again about the bad sound!

You are so welcome!

Thanks Brother! DM me! Not had a chance to chat for ages! Hoping you and your clan are all holding up ok! ❤️

Thank you mate! cheers for watching! I really love the repro lobby cards! They're a much easier to store size than the real McCoy and the real ones sell for such insane money. It's a really nice touch for an extra!

Thank you mate!

Thank you mate! Sorry for the bad audio on this one!

Hope yours arrives soon mate!

Thanks for watching! Hope you get your set soon!

Glad you liked it sorry for the bad audio on this one!

nice!! Hope you get it soon! Hello to you in Canada from sunny Scotland!

Thanks mate! I'll see what i can do! Hope you enjoy your BL marathon!! That's a splendid way to spend some time off work!!

I can’t find the set on Arrow website

It’s there, on the U.K. version of the website. If you’re looking on the US website you won’t find it there. It’s a U.K. only release.

Hope you get yours soon! and in better condition than mine arrived in! it is a beast of a set, but a good size for how much is in there!

Thanks mate! still a mountain to climb here ( hence the shocking audio quality for this video) but we're getting there slowly cheers!

It's a beautiful set, pretty blown away by what Arrow have put together for it.

A friend of mine got his exclusive edition today amd one corner was badly damaged. He is sending it back. I'm nervous for my set now. No excuses from Arrow to not pack it better.

@@gavnewton77 i couldn't agree with you more !!! Us Bruce Lee Memorabilia Collector's would gladly pay a little extra for adequate packaging Protection Domestically and internationally !!! Recieving DVD'S, especially Box Sets through the Mail is Really Nerve Racking !!! If the shippers or Warehouse gets cheap on the Protective Wrapping it's guaranteed to arrive with Damage !!! Besides Dents , if the Mail Delivery System Drops or Throws your package around it'll suffer from shock with can Tragically Break the Plastic Disc holders and the Discs can become loose, moving around getting severely scratched and Damaged, can be Disastrous !!! 😥😥. I'd definitely return for a Replacement or Refund as well.

The real trouble starts if they have no more sets in store to replace it😢

@waltrod688 exactly. I fear Arrow are about to receive some huge backlash from us collectors. They already have their infamous disc replacement programme !! I sincerely hope I'm wrong !!

It's because when you order directly from Arrow, you're really ordering from The Hut Group. These boxsets are coming from the same warehouses that are slinging protein powder into the same shoddy boxes as this came in. No, really. Protein powder, Arrow blurays and a million other different things that The Hut Group have subsumed are all just one operation. The people on the ground don't care and they have no reason to. They're not packaging a collector's item, they're just packaging another product. It's no different from Amazon. You wouldn't expect Amazon to bubble-wrap your expensive boxsets so you shouldn't expect The Hut Group to either. Plus they presumably save a bunch of money on outsourcing their customer services to a continent where they don't have to pay well. Evidenced by the fact that when you use Arrow's message system (unless you're lucky enough to get through to someone on the live chat) you will find yourself slowly and agonisingly corresponding with a conveyer belt of African customer service operators who work for The Hut Group. Any complaint you make to them regarding packaging etc will never be passed on to someone at Arrow because Arrow aren't the ones packaging and sending you these products. At best they will pass it on to someone in the UK at The Hut Group. And why would they care if they're getting a few complaints/returns regarding one small subsection of their product line? The only way it ever gets better is if Arrow cut ties with The Hut Group and go their own way ala Second Sight. Where you know that the people packaging your stuff aren't just underpaid line-workers in a warehouse rushing to hit targets, they're part of the team, they care about their customers and actually wrap their products with care and love. Where you can actually email them directly and talk to a real human who will accommodate you on the off-chance that something arrives damaged. The only way it changes is if people stop buying directly from The Hut Group.

Thanks for watching and sorry again about the bad audio! Will be back to normal on the next one!

Huh?

Hello Paul do you know what’s exact the difference between the yellow boxset and the red boxset because I see by both 4K I can not see the one is Blu Ray collection and the other one 4K collection?? And where can I order the Enter The Dragon 50Th Anniversary 4K Ultimate collector’s Edition?? I hope to hear from your Thx Gr Eddy

there are three boxsets in total. Two red versions ( one all Bluray, the other 4K UHD for the HK movies and blurays for enter the dragon, tower of death and the documentaries) and a Arrow website exclusive Yellow box which is identical to the Red 4K boxset except it has different cover art and slipcase art but all the on disc content is the same. I have made several videos explaining all of this several times now and Arrow’s website also explains it all clearly too. You can buy Enter The Dragon 4K from Amazon, HMV, Zavvi etc not sure where in the world you are based ?

Mine just shipped yesterday, i was amazed it arrived this fast tbh

Cool, fingers crossed mine comes this weekend or Monday is gonna be a loooooong day 😁

I was right nothing new just a money grab.

I had hoped they would release Game of Death 2 as a standalone release. I remember they always lumped in together with the other Bruce Lee films when it was out on VHS, but on DVD they treated it as a film in it's own right (which is as it should be as it works so much better as a standalone Hong Kong movie than a Bruce Lee movie). But now they've gone back to treating it as a Bruce movie and making it ONLY available through a big boxset. It's a shame as it's such a good film i wish more people had access to it rather than it being just a bonus feature on a Bruce Lee set.

I don't understand why they didn't include Enter the Dragon in 4k, as it has a standalone release soon. So it's ot as if there isn't a 4k version out there!

@@papa_sloth_gaming547 The movie belongs to Warner Bros. They’ve decided to release the 4K themselves. Arrow only has the rights to the standard Bluray.

Thank you @bigmoviefreak, I'm struggling to keep answering the same questions over and over and over again. Cheers for helping out!!

@@bigmoviefreak Thanks. Now I understand 👍

Lossless Mono.

That’s definitely the plan mate 👍

yes indeed, you mean the Yellow Criterion BOxset yes? The Arrow restorations are much nicer. better colour balancing and more complete in terms of extra footage

Yes, the Criterion boxset. I chose not to get it as I would have had to pay over £200 including a multi region 4k disc player. Not worth it in my eyes.

All 4K discs are region free mate.

@@dane17864k discs are region free

The 4K Enter the Dragon has all the same extras ( and the theatrical cut as well, remastered) could do a straight swap over?

@@TheFanaticalDragon is this true? From my understanding the 4k only has 2 new extra features but the legacy features remain exclusive to the old disc.

not sure what you mean by Legacy features?

@@TheFanaticalDragon the original bonus features that are on the old disc.

They're all on the 4K Warner's release to my understanding, and with the exception of the Theatrical cut, the exact same extras are on the standard Bluray disc Arrow have included. I'm not aware of any new extra features on the 4K Warner's disc at all. Maybe I missed them in the list of specs?

😂 I cannot. That’s a great way of getting my channel taken down.

I can. Game of Death has both the Cantonese and Mandarin dubs.. Only English dub for Enter The Dragon.

@@TheFanaticalDragon Thank you so much :)

I hope you get it sorted mate!!

Longer Mandarin Cut, no saw scene. It’s lost to time

It does.

no it does not.. in the 4K set, the 4 HK movies are on 4K discs ONLY, the extras and documentaries, Game of Death2 and Enter the Dragon are all on regular Region B locked Blurays.

It's a chunk of change to be sure, I had built up a wedge of Arrow reward points which softened the blow quite a bit, but it's an absolutely stunning set, hopefully this will be the last time I buy these movies on physical media though lol

Very different, longer cut of the Big Boss, hours and hours of new extras including a 3.5 hour documentary which showcases all eleven reels ( about 2.2 hours) of footage that Lee shot for game of death. Every take, and several fights ( most notably the log fight) which have never been used in any of the assembly edits before. Not to mention an option for 4K uhd discs for the four HK movies. In truth there are Far too many differences to list here in full.

@@TheFanaticalDragon Thank you! I'm ordering it. Appreciate the post and response.

Thanks Carman! Hope yours arrives soon!!

You would have to ask her, I have no idea. Though she did record video introduction for several of the Bruce Lee movies that Arrow screened at U.K. cinemas recently. So I’m assume they approve.

I noticed a few slip of the tongues. And it’s clear that Tony isn’t a huge Bruce fan. But that’s cool. Some of my favourite lecturers at film school hated most of the movies I loved the most. I like Tony, even when he’s being a bit cranky ( or making the odd gaff)

@@TheFanaticalDragon understandable. How far have you gotten thru the set? I've watched all of them with the new commentaries. Had to take a break though when I got to the documentaries. Also, thanks for the unboxing on Brotherhood of the Wolf. I just bought a copy of the studio canal 4k online. Looking forward to watching the directors cut in 4k. (I decided on the studio canal set instead of the Shout Factory set because I think Studio Canal puts out better sets than Shout Factory. Another reason why I own a region free blu-ray player.)

nope, plays fine for me, both the review disc and the final released version, its a region B Bluray just as Arrow advertised it would be. All the BLurays in the boxset ( 4K and standard) are UK region B locked.

@@TheFanaticalDragon thanks , very frustrating , it's the one I was gagging for ! Tried everything !

Lots. Different ( longer) cut if The Big Boss. All eleven reels ( 2nours +) of footage Lee shot for Game of Death assembled into a 3.5 hour documentary. Different remasters, new audio commentaries, much better printed extras, 4K uhd discs for the four HK movies and on and on.

@TheFanaticalDragon sweet thank you now all they have to do is make it available for the U.S.

Criterion still hold the US rights so that’s unlikely, but if you have a multi region machine you can import the U.K. set easily and a number of US retailers will be selling it stateside.

It sold out pretty fast, now only via ebay or any second hand physical media retailer where someone has traded in a copy.

Non

​@@TheFanaticalDragonyou know why ?

Why would they? It’s a U.K. release not an international one. Any French releases I get don’t have English audio or subtitles. As soon as any label starts to add international language options the licensing costs skyrocket. Arrow secured the rights to release the set in the U.K. only.

Ok thanks but i guess it won't be released in other countries

The boxset is called Bruce lee at Golden Harvest for good reason, it's focused on Bruce's HK movies primarily. Enter the Dragon is only being included as a bonus extra ( which is why the disc is identical to the old Warner's Anniversary release from 10 years ago) Warner Brothers own Enter The Dragon, not Golden Harvest/Fortune Star ( who supplied the elements for all the 4K discs in this set) Warner's are putting out their own 4K release soon, pre-orders are up already.

Fair enough mate, everyone has different taste, I much prefer the Red set to the Yellow, but i've been a huge fan of Tony Stella ( the artist who did the red set) for ages. it's true that Arrow didn't showcase the rear of the box themselves, but it was out there, Tony had shared it a while ago and i showed it in one of my earlier videos about the set.

the re-released the individual films as standalones and they were quite a lot cheaper. The Boxsets sold out pretty fast so the prices went insane

my apologies, this was the only space i could use today, I'm doing the best i can to still make content at the moment whilst living in a building site. there is a dialogue free shorter version of the video on instagram if you prefer. Or I'm sure many others will post unboxings on other channels soon too.

​​ No Worries Mate, i. did wish you spoke very loud to compensate for the low audio sound !!! LOL. Simple Solution was to turn on the RU-vid closed Captions !!! LOL 😂😂. It would really worry me now if i Ordered the Set , due to the distance it would have to Travel from the UK to the USA !!! Maybe Ordering the Two Box Sets would be safer ? More Bubble Wrap please !!! LOL 😂😂

I order both sets I will watch orange set and yellow set will be unopened for my collection

@@ericlabanowski55 sounds good my friend !!! I think Both Sets look fantastic, especially the Beautiful Artwork and extras !!! I'll probably Order Two Of the 4K Ultra DVD Box Sets even though my Television & Blue Ray DVD player aren't 4k Ultra or all Region DVD player !!! I'm planning on purchasing a 4K Ultra Wide Screen flatscreen Television 46" or a 50" and I'll Order a Multi Region/ all Region 4k Ultra/ Blue Ray DVD player to upgrade to today's Technology !!! LOL. It'll look & sound fantastic !!! 🐇🐉🐉🙏🙏🏽🙏🏿💕💕

🤘🤘🤘🤘

lol, It sounds like you just should buy some posters, not a Bluray boxset.

Sorry to hear that mate, I’ve been shouting out the region B element in every video I made about the set for the last few months! You’re gonna need to get a cheap multi region Bluray player my friend. It was Criterion putting out their Bruce Lee set a few years ago that made me bite the bullet and get a multi region player so I could import it from the US to the U.K. best decision I ever made. Having a region free player opens up the world and let’s you import and play anything from anywhere!

@TheFanaticalDragon Thank You! I just ordered one. It will be here tomorrow. It's the LG BP175 region free blu ray player.

Raymond Chow died in 2018, so no. Fortune Star own the rights to all Bruce Lee’s movies now.

Fair enough man, I’m guessing you didn’t buy this one then?

冇所謂

4k edition is multi region. Compatible with every 4k disc player

not quite, the 4K discs are yes, but half the boxset ( the 4K one as well) is region B locked Blurays

@@TheFanaticalDragonI’m here in Los Angeles and ordered the blu ray version. I also ordered a region free blu ray player just for this set. I have the Criterion blu ray set but had to get this one as well. Can’t wait to binge the whole damn thing.🕺

​@TheFanaticalDragon half the 4k boxset is region B blu rays? I have a multi region player so I should be good just didn't know that many discs were region B

​@@jonathanaldecoa1099why did you not order the 4k boxset? You could have taken the "Region free player" money and bought a 4k Player!

😂
