Bruce Lee Master Collection transfers?

I tried to run a search, but 'Lee' doesn't meet the four digit minimum so . . .

I've read on Amazon that the transfers in this box set are poor. Anyone own this set themselves?

Thanks

If I were you I would wait for the remastered versions that will be similar to these minus ETD:

FOX will release them sooner or later. I had the one your asking about and their average at best. No Cantonese/Mandarin dubs, cut (Way of the Dragon/Return of the Dragon) and not much in the way of extras. They were all basically ports of the old LD releases they did back in the early 90's. I got rid of mine when I got the HKL R2 versions.

exactly. not always having the best looking video quality is good for certain movies. could you imagine if someone decided to clean up the original texas chainsaw massacre?

I forgot to add that their not anamorphic; if that is important to you. They look terrible on a 16x9 display. Trust me---avoid them at all cost. Get a region free player if you have to and just get the R3 versions I have linked above if you can't wait.

I don't know if these guys have seen the HKL or the new HK release but with all due respect the films look better cleaned up; unless you like scratches, pinholes and uncorrected color.
