Shout Select unleashes Collector's Edition Blu-rays of GAME OF DEATH and RETURN OF THE DRAGON!


SHOUT SELECT ADDS TWO MORE BRUCE LEE CLASSICS TO ITS GROWING CATALOG!

GAME OF DEATH and RETURN OF THE DRAGON are my least favorite Bruce Lee flicks, but there's still plenty to love in each. Bruce's life or death struggle against Chuck Norris in Rome's Colosseum, and his face-off against long-limbed NBA star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, are legendary! And now these sequences, and more, are all fully restored in 4K! Thanks Shout Select!

GAME OF DEATH Synopsis: Billy Lo (Bruce Lee) is a young kung fu star with a promising career. As the leader of a syndicate known for its exploitation of entertainers, Dr. Land (Dean Jagger) jumps at the chance to capitalize on Billy's status and that of his singer girlfriend (Coleen Camp).

Refusing to sign with Land, Billy's marital arts mastery is put to the test when he is brutally harassed by Land's men. In a stunning showdown, Billy must take on a group of martial arts masters in the final showdown. Tragically, Bruce Lee passed away during the production of the film. See this martial arts legend in his last role!
