just be sure to check the quality of the video and audio transfer, as well as the packaging first before you buy. medyo mahirap maghanap ng reviews for these rare DVDs kse nga, localized ang release.

The New Cinema Paradiso 2-discs edition (NOW OUT OF PRINT)

[Y_meeh]

Big Fish Special Limited Edition (out this july)

[Y_meeh]

as for the reviews... ill try to collate reviews of these titles within the month

one korean release review i have found is the comparison of the r3 2-discs malena with the r1 malena... re video quality, r1 was better sound - i can't remember pero content wise r3 contains more special features although the r2 version has more special features (spread acros 3 discs) yun nga lang hindi kasi subtitled.

hay... obvious... wala akong ginagawa!

[aikigrappler]

nice thread y_meeh.Just saw this now. Galing talaga pala ang korean release.I wasn't aware that they had these editions, thought only R1s carry these.

[T-850]

hero is one of my fav. film.

wala ba yung 120mins release?

whats posted is only 98 minutes

Big Fish Special Limited Edition (out this july)

ymeeh,

thanks again for the update. i think there generally would be no difference between the r1 and r3 releases, except from the dvd carton sleeve/package and the extended booklet. korean or asian studios always make it  a standard for their releases. pretty cool though and worth collecting.

some cool asian releases include chicago and ed wood, with the dvd package/sleeve (brown thing in Big Fish photo) and really extended booklet.

sana may bilingual text parang sa Canadian special releases. got a bilingual sleeping beauty and E.T. dvds where all french text are translated in english. 2 languages in one cover. Cool!! parang shampoo.. daming languages for different regional consumers..

 

[Y_meeh]

no need to thank me. btw, musta yung bruce lee mo?

[hemisphere]

no need to thank me. btw, musta yung bruce lee mo?

nyaiks.. pressure..

anyhow.. my simple opinion regarding the bruce lee collection (by spectrum studio):

packaging
- never seen anything like this before...
- very elegent thick silver leather-like (paper ala LOTR extended) cover for the case with chinese characters inscription
- collectible case has a magnetic lock to fasten/close the large wallet-like boxset
- sturdy binding, tin ends in every page, foil to cover sides of page, big bruce lee commemorative photos opposite each disc holder
- gold inscription on top of every disc holder
- elegant felt-like black cloth in case interior
- comprehensive booklet (in chinese) detailing the life of bruce lee. many collectible pictures premiered in the book. 


transfers and soundtracks
- superb cantonese dts audio soundtrack for all 4 films
- superb transfers except for the way of the dragon (kinda out of focus in some parts) not sure if they have found the original negative of this film
- subtitles in english
- unedited anamorphic 2:35:1 presentation of all 4 films (with some mild nudity and violence)


features
- menus are easy to navigate and elegantly designed
- interviews with celebrities (US and Chinese stars/fillm makers/influencers) regarding bruce lee
- trailers (old and new) of each film
- archives of bruce lee's photos
- Star Movies documentary about bruce lee


overall, this is a collectible and (i must say with no strings attached) a show off dvd set tribute for one of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People of the 20th century. this collection, though not complete, is particularly better than its r1 release.  it is evident that much effort and labor have been given to produce this collection. 
price though is slightly higher than an average boxset.. near LOTR gift set price.. but it's worth it..

hope our producers/studios here in manila would be inspired to produce something with this caliber of craftsmanship.. this dvd boxset proves that it is indeed possible..

more similar asian dvd boxsets please...

cheers.

[aikigrappler]

hemisphere,
How much did you get your bruce lee for?

just remembrd something i've read from another forum "why do asians go gaga over packaging." sabi nila part of the asian culture daw. me thinks? di ba tayo asian coz with most of the dvd releases we have hir, it seems like those distributors don't care less about packaging.

btw, here's an almost similiar packaging to bruce lee's boxset

a better tomorrow- 3 discs limited ed

[hemisphere]

hemisphere,

I tried dvdheaven too kaso i have to sign up pa with paypal so cancel ko siya since wala pa ako paypal account.

Saw another site which sells it for $20.00 ( http://dvdshop.mym.net/ ) kaso nga lang in Korean siya so I couldn't understand anything ... grrrr ... I think they are telling us na magtiyaga nalang tayo with the R1 na walang booklet 

[Y_meeh]

i emailed heaven last night and got a reply this morning. the mock order was deleted from my account. the reply was quite fast, this is a good sign right?
