Bruce Lee Boxed Set

Rating:
UK Certificate: 18
What's it about? A six-disc boxed set to coincide with the 30th anniversary of Lee's death in 1973, featuring four of the great man's films - The Big Boss, Fist Of Fury, Way Of The Dragon and Game Of Death.
Any good? Best of the four movies is Way Of The Dragon, which Lee directed as well as starred in. It contains one of the finest martial arts battles ever staged on film as Lee and Chuck Norris slug it out in the ruins of Rome's colosseum. Game Of Death, meanwhile, is a real cinematic curiosity. Made five years after the star's death, it makes extensive use of old footage and a variety of Lee doubles, before the real Bruce shows up in the final 15 minutes to lay waste to a pagoda packed with baddies. Dressed in a yellow tracksuit.

Look out for: Five-foot-seven-and-a-half inch tall Lee battering 7ft 2in basketball colossus Kareem Abdul-Jabar, at the end of Game Of Death.

Extras: Over two discs, highlights include a documentary about Lee's life and death, recent interviews with family and friends, and a great screen test from the 1960s. Best of the bunch though is the breath-taking 40-minute edit of Lee's tracksuited rampage from Game Of Death, much of which wasn't available at the time the film was made.
