Yet, I've never forgotten about the subplot revealing that Han's bodyguard O'Hara (Bob Wall) is the man responsible for the death of Lee's sister, so I keep expecting this story to be a straightforward revenge tale, only to be pleasantly reminded that the script is bit more complicated than that. Black levels fair a bit better and look darker with strong shadow details, even during those intentional moments where shadows obscure the "Lee-alike" actors. Lee's third movie arrives with a strong and generally satisfying 4K transfer, but compared to the others in the set, this is sadly the weakest of the bunch, falling on the softer side and occasionally looking out of focus with only a few pockets of sharp clarity, most of which come from close-ups or some exterior shots.

So he was then advised by a producer friend to go back to Hong Kong, where he could make a feature film that would showcase his obvious talents. The funk-influenced music during the opening credits gets the subwoofer thumping and an airplane can be heard moving from front to the back speakers. My favorite part of Fist of Fury is the park scene where Lee's angry but still grieving Chen Zhen is refused entry and confronted by a rude Japanese man who publicly humiliates our would-be hero.Japanese Cut (4K Dolby Vision HDR, 110 min) is a version with a unique intro and outro that features Mike Remedios's song "The Way of Life" and a slightly modified English mono soundtrack. Even though he doesn't do much for the first half of the story except gripe about how he can't break his "no-fighting" promise to his mother, Lee, nonetheless, steals the show as the silent, strong type while giving audiences a few glimpses of his fighting talents, which I feel is intentional so that his explosive moment during the factory riot is all the more dramatic and poignant. Alternate Cantonese Version (HD, 93 min) is the reportedly original Hong Kong release placing the Ji Han-jae fight earlier in the movie and the happier ferry ending, but some of the material was taken from standard definition sources, as they are the best available. They are: Blood Money: Four Classic Westerns (1967-1970), Hugo (2011), Fighting Back (1982), and Bruce Lee at Golden Harvest (1971-1981).

In only a handful of films, Lee high-kicked his way into audiences’ imaginations forever, thanks to his blistering screen presence and his masterful ‘Jeet Kune Do’ fighting technique. This is evident in the incredible package Arrow Video have just released, Bruce Lee at Golden Harvest, which is being released in ten-disc UHD/Blu-ray and ten-disc Blu-ray sets. Updated daily and in real-time, we track all high-def disc news and release dates, and review the latest disc titles.These incidents all seem to be connected to the factory’s boss, Hsiao Mi (Han Ying-Chieh), so Hsiu steps in.

The story is a simple one but it’s effectively told and gives the appropriate weight to the fight scenes. No other person has left such an indelible mark on popular culture in just two short years as Lee and as such, its difficult to know where to separate the myth from any sense of reality…so let’s start where Lee would want us to, with the things that he drove his own incredible standards of perfection to deliver…his films. This included Golden Harvest, who took Lee’s Game of Death footage and crowbarred it into a film of the same name that shared little else with the filmmaker’s original intentions. Sure, there’s still a lot of stuff out there on Lee – some of which is notably on Criterion’s recent boxset – which again, likely rights issues preclude their being here, but the combination of the archive supplementals that have been sourced and the staggeringly good new features included here really should satisfy all but the most ravenous of Lee fans. This really is one of the most comprehensive and beautifully put together sets of supplemental features I’ve seen in a box set.Its not much of a looker – certainly not against other 2K restorations of 35mm on the 1080p format – but other versions of this appear to have been taken from SD masters, meaning at least this offers a solid upgrade in terms of clarity and detail over previous versions released. So while Fist of Fury looks slightly cooler thanks to its more muted colour palette and the fact its shot all indoors on soundstages as opposed to the wonderful backdrop of the forests of Thailand for The Big Boss, both look utterly fantastic (despite a faint vertical stripe of lighter colour patches on the film on The Big Boss at the 11 min that lasts for about 10 seconds), the restoration work undertaken yielding stunning results on both films. image with rich, deep blacks while shadows have excellent visibility of the finer details within the darkest, murkiest corners. The colour palette is significantly darker than previous entries, for those obvious reasons, and it does lead to some instances of incredibly dense blacks.
