      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Filmed years after his real-life death, "Game Of Death II' stars (very obvious images of) Bruce Lee. Huh? Yep, you must be as confused as I am; this is movie magic at its (not so) best! (Tricia Spears)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.32:1 DVD exhibits varying image quality: sometimes nicely detailed and sometimes very blurry. The color scheme can be nicely rendered at times, albeit dated. There can be seriously distracting edge halos at times, and occasional pixelization. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    While some of the effects are well recorded and reproduced (suggesting they are not original elements), the Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround soundtracks can be difficult to listen to. Heavy amounts of background noise dominate the soundfield, and the difficult to hear dialogue does not make things much better. The LFE channel is not used very effectively, making the low end of the frequency spectrum seem underdeveloped. The DTS track really only increases the overall level and accentuates the inherent distortion. While the soundtrack is difficult to listen to, it is still better than most of the other DVDs in this collection. (Danny Richelieu)

    Reason #52 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    The DVD reviews are very informative. I especially like the detailed specification information available for both the DVD and the theatrical release of movies. The recent news features are often quite interesting to an amateur audiophile like myself.
