Yuen Wah was closest in build to Bruce and an expert acrobat.

He also doubled for the back flip kick in Enter the Dragon, as well as the backspring kippup during the opening fight against Sammo and post-fight sommersault.

Wow, just ran into this post after some random searching... just about two years later, and the chances of this being released by DD are now slim to none. It's a fact that (sadly) the classics we love so much haven't sold as well as, say, the re-released (and still cut) Jet Li films. This being said, we may never get to see a proper R1 One Armed Boxer anytime soon :?

I used to have the German DVD, wish I still had it. Anamorphic, Mandarin and English mono, no subs though. Suffers from too much DVNR but I guess it'll do. Shouldn't have traded it because I thought we'd see a US release

From what I've read, it seems like both the German and Japanese DVDs use the Fortune Star transfer... and both are a bit of a pain to find.

Damn Dragon Dynasty for teasing us with clips from this transfer AND the US TV spot!

The German DVD was the old Star TV master, not the HD one but it does have genuine in-sync Mandarin mono
