Longstreet
released on DVD!
The wait is finally over -- at least if you live in Japan or are
willing to order something from Japan and have a DVD player enabled for
Region 2 discs.
A Bruce Lee fan in Britain, Darren Keighren, bought a set and sent
these photos and screencaps to us. Thanks, Darren! It looks
like a high-quality set. There are Japanese subtitles, but you
can turn them off.
For many years we had no way to view these episodes other than the
occasional grainy VHS tape. A couple of years ago, Longstreet
finally aired on a satellite TV station in Canada, and since then
bootleg copies have appeared on eBay and elsewhere. But this is
the first authorized release we have seen! (And no, I don't
advertise bootlegs. Find 'em yourself if you don't want to buy
the official release from Japan. I'd rather that people encourage
Paramount to release a set here in the U.S.!)
You can order it from several different sources in Japan for about
US$175 plus shipping/handling. Here is
one vendor that ships internationally and has a website in English.
Again, you need a DVD player that can be enabled to play
Region 2 discs (U.S. is Region 1).
