Why wouldnt this set be the same as the already released R3 IVL HK set? For the R1s not to include the original Mandarin/Chinese audio (in the case of The Big Boss, Fist of Fury and Way of the Dragon) would surely be ludicrous.

Just got a copy of this; GoD and GoD2 do NOT have Chinese tracks; the other three films each have Mandarin and Cantonese 2.0 tracks in addition to the English tracks (DTS and 5.1)

The ones I care about thankfully have the original tracks. As far as I know, Game is supposed to be in English. Most of the cast is English and I think it was American produced. As for the sequel, I thought the old version that came out a year or so back had the original track?
Is Mandarin or Cantonese the original language?

I'm still waiting for full audio specs to see if this is worth a purchase. Doesn't seem promising though, Fox has a tendency to suck sometimes. Hopefully a review will surface soon.

P.S. Not that I doubted you, but you know how some people are, they'll want double or triple confirmation before they stop chewing their fingernails.

If you guys have a mult-regional DVD player, try ordering the Hong Kong Legends Bruce Lee 30th Anniversary Box Set that features Way of the Dragon, The Big Boss, Fist of Fury, and a 2 disc special edition of Game of Death. It costed me almost 80 bucks since I ordered it from England, but it has excellent special features. Bey Logan audio commentary on every movie. Lots of interviews, a bonus commerative DVD with more behind the scenes footage. Also, it comes with a free DVD of Bruce Lee: The Legend and The Man and the Legend. It's Region 2 PAL, so if you have a multi-region DVD player, this set is totally worth the money.

I wouldn't order that HKL boxset. The transfers are from the old Media Asia/HKL transfers and they don't hold a candle even to the new U.S. set according to a couple of reviews(sorry, not posted yet). I have all the old HKL discs and I'm waiting because HKL is releasing the Bruce Lee titles in double disc sets early next year using the new Fortune Star Hi-Def masters starting with Fist of Fury. This will have a new Bey Logan commentary to correct some mistakes and a ton of interviews including a VERY rare one with Angela Mao.

Wonder what year the Mao interview was done!
