The specs for the HKL releases say 2.45:1 aspect ratio, but they should be 2.35:1

For the Cuts section, it should be noted that there are 2 versions of the film: International version and Hong Kong version.

International versions:
R0 China - Zoke Culture
R1 America - Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment
R1 America - Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment
R2 United Kingdom - Hong Kong Legends
R2 United Kingdom - Hong Kong Legends - Platinum Edition
R2 United Kingdom - Cine Asia - Ultimate Edition
R3 Hong Kong - IVL/Fortune Star Bruce Lee Ultimate DVD Collection
R4 Australia - Universal / Dreamworks - Platinum Edition

Hong Kong versions:
R0 Hong Kong - Mega Star
R0 Hong Kong - Universe Laser and Video Co. Ltd.

Currently the Hong Kong version is only mentioned in the Notes section of the R0 Universe specs, but that should be deleted and the Cuts section should state which releases had which version of the film.

Added the Cine Asia and updated about the cuts.
It's good to know that Mediumrare UK will be releasing the Hong Kong Bruce Lee movies on Blu-ray. Wondering if they are going to use the Shout extras, HKL extras, or what.

[Frank_Chan]

About the Hong Kong cut, this line:

- but the opening credits still use the English John Barry theme instead of the Cantonese song sung by Roman Tam.

...only applies to the R0 Hong Kong Universe release. The Megastar release has the proper Cantonese opening song.

There are also some extended or extra scenes. These are featured in the HKL/Cine Asia dvds as "deleted scenes".

[James-Masaki_Ryan]

OK, moved the song bit to the Universe DVD notes.

[Frank_Chan]

For the HK version, Mega Star is the one to get for the correct opening theme.

Noted and fixed.
