About this deal
The Mandarin track is the strongest of the three and the best way to enjoy the film, as it delivers a cleaner, better-balanced dialogue reproduction and exhibits an excellent mid-range.
This really is one of the most comprehensive and beautifully put together sets of supplemental features I’ve seen in a box set. Moving more indoors, with most of the film taking place in dojo interiors and obvious stage sets, gives the film something of a stagey vibe, but with Lee’s star quality driving the film forward, it’s a much more satisfying watch, one that now starts to feel worthy of his presence and his star quality.It may not be the last word in complex fight choreography, but these two are worthy opponents and they make the finale utterly mesmeric thanks to Lee’s use of his changing fighting style as a narrative arc, only succeeding after changing his own style, something very much built into the DNA of Lee’s own Jeet Kune Do ethos.

Nevertheless, the presentation enjoys spot-on contrast and brilliant whites, and brightness levels provide the 2.
Game of Death, from what remains of the film, would probably have topped Enter the Dragon—but then Lee died under very mysterious circumstances.Its not much of a looker – certainly not against other 2K restorations of 35mm on the 1080p format – but other versions of this appear to have been taken from SD masters, meaning at least this offers a solid upgrade in terms of clarity and detail over previous versions released.
