Doesn't that take forever? Why bother btw? Most of it is small talk.

Yeah they said the same to me...
For the price I paid I'm prepared to wait.

Hey,

Heres the latest from HKL in the 26th May update:

LATEST NEWS
Fist of Fury Extras
We are currently working on our Fist of Fury Platinum Edition due for release 15th August. we are happy to tell you that you can expect the following great extras:

Hi-Definition DVD Transfer
Animated photo gallery featuring never-before-seen photographs from the Lee Family Private Collection
Exclusive interactive tour of the real-life Jing Woo-mun School in Shanghai
An exclusive series of revealing interviews with Bruce Lee confidantes and friends, including personal photographer Linda Palmer, and hairdresser, Joe Torreneuva
'Behind the art of Jeet Kune Do' with Sifu Dan Inosanto and top Hollywood Stunt coordinator, Jeff Imada
An exclusive interview with leading-lady and close personal friend, Nora Miao (who has spoken about Bruce Lee since 1978)
*All correct at time of going to press

HD Transfer? Cool.

Surely there'll be more extras than that? Bey Logan comm (probably the same one)? Trailers etc? I also liked the cool menus on the original release.
Don't forget MANDARIN!

MANDARIN!

Then I'll definitely upgrade.
Mark (and others) did you e-mail them?
I did but no reply.

LOL I'm sure they mean "hasn't"

Grim I suspect those are just the new extras and we have no idea how long they are.

I'll be getting this purely for the HD tranfer BUT will the Cantonese DD5.1 be messed up??? I'll keep my current DVD to do a side by side comparison.

Just in case.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 26 May 2005, 22:38

I await the new Bruce Lee Box set from HKL

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 27 May 2005, 12:40

Hmm. I'll keep my current dvd for now too, youre right Brad it'll be interesting to see what audio tracks they have. The original DVD had Cantonese Stereo (I think).

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 27 May 2005, 13:14

Nope - Cantonese DD5.1.

Only TBB has DD2.0!

It would be sweet if TBB got a PE and they did a new box set. Not that I'd buy it

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 27 May 2005, 13:43

I'm sure Fist had 2.0! Basically souped up Mono. If it was 5.1 they downplayed the foley effects greatly (they did that with many Media Asia 5.1 tracks).
Ask Mark, he knows

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 27 May 2005, 16:30

NOPE definitely DD5.1. I have it! Like I said only TBB has DD2.0. NOT all 5.1 remixes have new foley effects!

I don't need to ask Mark thanks.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 27 May 2005, 16:59

I have it as well and I'm sure its 2.0!

Killer Meteor · Post by **Killer Meteor** » 27 May 2005, 20:23

I have it and it's 5.1 for both tracks

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 27 May 2005, 20:45

Grim gets his coat

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 27 May 2005, 20:50

Grim you are such a doofus sometimes.

Instead of arguing (in the nicest possible) why didn't you just pick the DVD up and have a look? or better yet believe me?

Did it need someone backing me up? :x

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 27 May 2005, 20:58

All right, it said 5.1 audio yes, I thought perhaps that was only for the english dub.

Kronik · Post by **Kronik** » 29 May 2005, 14:39

I wonder if this edition of FoF will have a special carboard cover like GoD or just plain like WoTD.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 29 May 2005, 15:02

Anyone got a reply about the Mandarin yet?

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 29 May 2005, 15:35

Who actually asked? Bar you of course and Mark.

I believe they no longer produce slip-cases

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 29 May 2005, 17:26

Nope,. which is a shame for once as it did make some of the platimun editions feel more quality than the average dvd.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 29 May 2005, 18:21

Yeah, slip cases are obviously far too expensive to maintain....

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 29 May 2005, 18:33

I guess they lowered the prices, so t=maybe that why

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 29 May 2005, 19:13

Not as far as I can tell!

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 29 May 2005, 19:24

They have, all them lowered, 25 before now 20 for Platinum editions

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 29 May 2005, 20:28

That's the RRP right? Who pays that. I don't even look at it.
