They're having a laugh? Right?. Without Enter The Dragon what is the point? That's like releasing season 1 of the classic Star Trek and leaving out "City on the Edge of Forever". April 1st was 14 days ago... Yes I know it's on the set as a blu-ray but it's not 4k

I previously already told you Warner are doing 4K UHD release of Enter the Dragon

Arrow cant include Enter with the Dragon on 4K UHD as Warner are releasing that themselves


This box set includes Enter the Dragon on Blu-ray
It has the 40th Anniversary Special Edition Blu-ray of Enter the Dragon, with archive extras including The Curse of the Dragon, In His Own Words, Backyard Workout and more

Yes but it's the word 4k that is of interest to fans....
 
Nice back art! Good to know ETD is actually included in some form as well... I mean, it's better than nothing.

Warner themselves are doing 4K UHD release of Enter the Dragon in 2023 as they own the rights to the film
Just purchase the Warner 4K UHD when released there will be various editions including a SteelBook

Arrow do not have the rights to do Enter the Dragon on UHD do you not understand this

Warner gave arrow special permission to include their existing 2013 40th Anniversary Blu-ray so the film would not be missing from the Box Set
They did not have to do this



Bruce Lee he only done one film with Warner the rest of his films was with other film studios

I can't see why Warner couldn't have given them permission to have the 4k version of Enter the Dragon only as part of the box set and Warner only do the stand alone release. Everyone wins.

Well personally I'd just buy the set and not bother with the single release if that were the case... unless it's a really, really, really nice looking release lol

The shear cost of the box set would put 99.9% of fans of Enter the Dragon off and the pure Bruce Lee Fans would get all in one box. Everyone wins....
