I have been a hearty follower of yours since Arrow announced their box set of Bruce Lee at Golden Harvest. You have such passion and have enjoyed the warmth of your content. Your custom design for the cover is wonderful. Always admire your arty talents! I hope you gain some interest and it was a nice thought for the fans. Simple usually works as you'd say. As a die hard Bruce Lee fan, it is always a joy to see your videos and we hope you're doing well too. I hope your Wife recovers soon also. 😊

Thank you, mate. I really do appreciate it. 👍

Hi Stripey, hope your wife is feeling better 😊 I bought the individual Blu-rays I ordered before Christmas, they never turned up, this was through Amazon, called them, they cancelled the order because they were sold out, anyway re-ordered and 6 weeks later they turned up. I'm checking mine now to make sure the correct discs are in the boxes!! Thanks for the video 👍✌️

Hi Stripey - I hope your wife is feeling much better now. I ordered the four Bruce Lee individual films before they were released, and later got an email from Arrow pointing out they'd not sent the G.O.D. Final Cut disc that supposed to be with 'Way' - they were going to send it - but never did. You're right about their customer service - it sucks the big one. I'm reading John Little's book at the moment and I'm impressed by the effort he put in to find the truth about Bruce's real fights. Some interesting titbits there too like Bruce's idea of having Wong Shun Leong representing Wing Chun in Game of Death - what a film that could have been if it had been completed.

I ordered a replacement 2-disc empty bluray case from Arrow, took the swing tray from that and put it into the standalone Fist of Fury case, and put the documentaries disc in that.

Thank you for the heads up, my friend. 🙏🏻

What an awesome thing to do with the cover. Thanks Stripey..

Wow. That’s superb. Thanks Stripey 😃🐉

Hello Stripey, I too was one of the first to order the stand alone Way of, and got The Man the Legend, I immediately emailed them ,they asked for photographic proof of the botched item, I sent it and to be fair they immediately refunded my money, let me keep Way of, then sent the correct disc in January. I bought this so as to save my Yellow box set,as my most watched disc is The Final GOD. So win win as I have what I need FOC. Take care. Regards Roger Egerton

I'm a new sub because of all m your Bruce Lee content fantastic content you bring a lot of knowledge to the body of work and the man himself. As a childhood fan obssessed with Bruce lee it's a trip back to my childhood when the pre certs were the only thing we could rent cheers mate 👍

Hope your wife is back on the mend soon buddy, I had the same issue when I bought the individual releases, had to wait a few weeks after chasing Arrow's customer service around. The replacement disc arrived in the same casing as yours. I'm a completist and it really bugged me to have a spare disc I couldn't really put in my collection. Thanks Stripey for the cover, I'm a big fan of your posters and art work your a scholar and a gentleman! Enjoy the rest of your weekend, looking forward to the next video -Mark-

I was lucky. I have the BL set of course but ordered the singles as an addition. Actually ordered WOTD from Amazon so it didn’t come because of the issues with Arrow. Few months went by - when Arrow announced a restock I cancelled the Amazon order - got the product from Arrow and the correct disc was in it

Cool info as always & total dedication to the little dragon respect 🤛🏻 I think with any customer service these days depends who reply’s to you but my experience with Arrow CS was above & beyond as I ordered the yellow exclusive and when it was delivered it had a small dent in it, I kicked off and with no hesitation they just sent another yellow set out 🤗 but I know what you mean , there all part of the zavvi Group & they are shocking but a firm hand from the start & they are all over it. Keep up the great content & forget the haters as you likes outweighs the trolls Cheers buddy Regards

Thanks for the cover Stripey! I always wanted to make a Enter the Dragon cover in the style of the old rank video ones to match the previous blu rays with booklets but my art skills arnt good enough.

Fuck the haters I been in countless arguments with wanna be tough guys on instagram saying that too. Love your channel sir keep up the good work.

Appreciate the cover i had same issue

I agree about your comment in respect to the BBFC. They love slapping their logo on everything. On a separate topic I have the Wonder Woman series on DVD from the U.S. looking at the UK version it has the censorship logo which somewhat spoils the artwork. So I agree with your wanting to customise those Bruce Lee covers to have the logo NOT appear and malign the art aesthetics. Just my 2 pence on the matter.

Bruce Lee was one of the greatest fighter s to ever live . I think that people cannot handle that a little Chinese guy could have been any boxer or UFC fighter who ever lived that's what they don't like . That this little Chinese is so tough that he can beat almost anybody

Stripey love your dedication to your bruce lee collection lovely dvd cover pal Hope your misses is feelings better mine was a but under the weather this week too Take care mate

Hello Stripey. I’ve wanted so badly to have this box set from arrow since it came out, because of the vivid colours the movies are printed. But I emailed arrow and they do not ship to North Macedonia. So you guys are really lucky to have them. I have the previous releases but this one from arrow is really 🔥.

3:59 Hey stripey hope you are well my friend, i got the way of the dragon with the Final Game of death, i preordered it from rare waves, had to wait a while but i have it, it's absolutely amazing mate 💯🙏🇮🇪🙏 3:59 👍👍👍👏👏unfortunately i dont have the 2 documentaries 🤦

Get well soon to the Wife and this was another great video.

True Fan💚✔️🇮🇪

fantastic thanks for the cover ! I was lucky to get the right version in the singular release .. or unlucky ! ? cos i could of bagged both discs like you did lol

I had no idea about this Stripey. I didn’t buy mine until January and I was lucky enough to get the final game of death. The reason you had issues with Arrow customer services is because they are the same people who run. Zavvi AKA The worst customer Services known to mankind. Everything they send is damaged and I mean everything. 👍🏼

Wow,quite surprised to hear that about Arrow. I bought the HORRIBLE DR HICHCOCK release on Radiance a few months back and both discs were marked and scratched quite noticeably.I sent an email to Radiance/Lime Wood Media and within 24 hours had a reply and then received the replacements days later from the amazing Sophie.

I still waiting for my disc Stripey. Been 3 months now. Arrow customer service is shambolic. I’m praying I get it next week. Don’t want to have to contact them ever again. Love the cover will definitely download it later. I think the haters would be better off with the audiobook of ‘Wrath Of The adragon’ Don’t think half of the them can read 😂 Have a great Sunday fella - Antony

I can't believe you're still waiting for the replacement disc, mate. That's shocking. Hopefully, they'll sort something out soon 🙏 I'm glad you like the cover. It's better than keeping the spare in a jewel cd case, I think. You're always going to get "those" comments bud, it comes with the territory, I guess. Cheers pal 👍

@@StripeyRafter two months I sadly had to give up and pass the burden to the person who bought me the films as a gift. I was trying to save them the grief. They have had two messages this week one saying it will be here in a few days. The other message might be another month. You can’t make it up mate. Hope your Mrs is feeling better. Downloads the cover looks fantastic. Have a great week 💪 - Antony P.S. the latest KFG podcast is well worth a listen / watch

@@30plusfitnesstv Hey bud. I'm shocked at Arrow's customer service. We really hassled them to get the replacement disc. sorted. Sorry you are getting all this crap. The wife's feeling much better thanks. The cover was a little big once I put in in the case, had to trim in down a little (poxy internet templates), it still looks better tho. I watched KFG with Bey Logan last night, it was awesome!! take it easy Pal, don't let Arrow get you down 👍

Thank you! I JUST opened my WOTD 4K and sure enough - it has the wrong disc in the disc 2 tray. I never would have known if not for this video. Do you think I will still be able to get a replacement disc? 😥 Thanks again for the heads up!

I have pointed many to the John Little book - Wrath of the dragon. Highly doubt half the haters can read anyway. I bought both boxsets. I know what you mean about the hassle of opening it every time you want to view something. To be honest I don't watch them much as seen them so many times.👍😁🙏 I hope the Misses gets well soon brother Stripey.

I’ve said the same thing, think they would be better with the audiobook 😂 I’ve been having a back and forth with some guy who claims Bruce called his art Kung Fu. He won’t even do a one minute search on google to find Bruce’s first book ‘Chinese Gung Fu’ or that he called his art Jun Fan Gung Fu 🤡

Hope you're doing well, & hope you're wife gets well. As for telling the haters to buy the John Little's book is like trying to convince flat earthers to by a science book.

Thanks again Stripey, Downloaded the link Now where did I put the disc? Found it Thanks again Best wishes to your wife Ian

Thanks bud, she's doing a lot better 👍

I gotta say, for those that never got the box set, this would be a dream getting those docs right? Like they did it on purpose. For me, my OCD has to take a back seat. I just used the old Shout Factory artwork and beefed up the sets with more disc capacity holders. I think the aspect ratio is better on the old Man the Legend/Legend DVD's (though quality on the Legend is better), so I just used that case and the same with separating Game of Death II. However, this leaves Game of Death in a 6 disc case if you are also housing the Criterion disc (along with Double Shout with Triple Arrow)!! Anymore I am just packing away extra stuff so I just get standard versions for the shelf. Disc take priority for me. Hope wife gets well soon!

I still haven't received mine..I'm close to giving up with the emails back and forth and getting nowhere.

Only won cha cha championship 😂 Good video. Thanks.

@tasken_lander_redux4775 I got it about a month ago and purchased as a pre order. I kept emailing them, they probably sent to shut me up. :)

Just been told…. Get ready for this one ‘The attachment of your proof of purchase expired. This will need to be raised again. Please can you send this over again?’ 🤦‍♂️ I’m speak less. I’ve messaged James Flower… I hope he can help or put me in touch with someone you can. It just gets worse.

I just tried to get a replacement from arrow for my missing game disc. All I can say is after nearly three hours talking to their shambles of a live chat . And then giving them all the details cut off three times I wanted but a film from them again worst company ever 🤬🤬🤬img useless

Hey, Stripey. I can't believe some of these modern Bruce Lee nay-sayers actually make their comments on a channel like your own. I mean, you're just commenting on Lee's films and enjoying the various releases; it's not like the focus of your channel is Lee's real-life fighting ability. So much of social media is just toxic and uninformed. You encouraged them to read Little's book. They don't even need to do that much - maybe just seek out one or two of the professional fighters that actually knew Lee _personally_ . They had plenty to say regarding Lee's fighting skills. Here, I'll make it easy for them (and this is just ONE example of _many_ ): Jim Kelly was one of the most highly decorated worldwide pro karate champions in the 70s. He knew Bruce personally, trained under him, and more to the point, saw Bruce spar with the top fighters and competitors of their day: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZHeNqtyiZ82qd5s.html ...and... kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZHeNqtyiZ82qd5s.html Additionally, Kelly comments on the idea Bruce had no real fighting ability because he had no professional ring experience: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZHeNqtyiZ82qd5s.html
