Yes, it did

Arrow announced they are going to be releasing these titles individually as limited editions.

Oh man, looks like The Final Game of Death isn't making it to the individual release. Not the biggest Lee fan, but the notices I've been seeing for that extra have been tipping me closer and closer to buying.

It is, it's just included in the Way of the Dragon release for some reason.

Woah, thanks for the heads up! You probably just saved me a lot of money...

It seems like the 10th disc (with the documentaries) and the Game of Death II's disc aren't included in those (plus Enter The Dragon of course).

The feature-length Tony Rayns appraisal of Bruce Lee’s career is on Fist of Fury. Is that worthwhile?

I thought it was quite good and thorough and full of interesting information, but wow is he ever not a fan of Enter the dragon’s direction!

Between Lo Wei and Robert Clouse, Bruce Lee couldn't have done much worse if he'd been directed by Ed Wood or Jess Franco!

Sure, as is everything Rayns does. The 80 minutes flew by. Fist of Fury also has a Jonathan Clements commetary making it the best disc in the set for scholarly material.

Clements' book on the history of martial arts is superb too.

Someone bought the individual blu for Way of the Dragon and confirmed that The Final Game of Death is not included in it. Included instead are the 2 older documentaries, Bruce Lee: The Man & The Legend (1973) and Bruce Lee: The Legend (1984). No word yet if this mistake appears on the 4K release.

Dammit, I bought Way for that very feature. Back to Arrow it goes.

That's precious LOL, not only I bought two sets, the Blu one and the UHD one, and one of them came completely crushed (the UHD of course), now I can not even get the singles exactly as advertised. WTF is going on at Arrow?

Not all is lost. Arrow have just got back to me, saying they’ll be sending out a replacement disc. But they seem to have withdrawn Way of the Dragon from sale at the moment.

I know this should normally go in a different thread, but given how exclusive this release was....Diabolik has one left in stock. I luckily grabbed one right before

Arrow finally came through, and I received my replacement disc of FINAL GAME OF DEATH today.
