I just received the box set. I have only looked at Fists of Fury, Chinese Connection, Return of the Dragon, & Game of Death.

Columbia pictures must have bought the rights to Chinese Connection & Fists, because the Golden Harvest Symbol & name are missing at the beginning.

The five discs are not in individual snapper cases (slimmer cases). They are in a book that folds out.

I must admit seeing the full credits at the beginning of Fists of Fury was neat.

The picture quality is ok, alot of scratches, better then the other widescreen version of Chinese Connection that is out there.

Absolutely no extras!

Only English mono.

English subtitles is only option.

If Criterion would take these, remaster them more, add the original Cantonese sound tracks & a few extras, we could all sleep at night.

But for me seeing these movies in Widescreen is awesome. But I might track down copies with the Cantonese tracks.

try the media asia versions. decent transfers and original cantonese soundtracks with english subtitles. fist of fury (aka the chinese connection) is a special edition. you can pick them up at hivizone.com for about $21 each.

Or has anybody else heard of it?

This set is by 20th Century Fox, not Columbia Pictures.
