I love martial arts movies and have many of Jackie Chan`s films, but had never really seen anything starring Bruce Lee. But after buying the excellent R2 version of "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story", I suddenly became a massive fan of the man himself and had to get myself a Special Edition R1 copy of this awesome disc. Not only do you get action, but also an insight into Lee`s psyche. "Don`t think, feeeel."

This really is a quality disc (whereas the R2 version is cut and has no extras) and is a must-have purchase for any fan of the genre. It`s also interesting to note that this film was released 4 years before Star Wars and there are some close similarities between Lee`s philosophising and Obi-Wan and Yoda`s teachings. Hmmm. George would never borrow ideas from another film, would he?
