Business Wire, Feb 28, 2007

BURBANK, Calif. -- Two action-packed Warner Home Video classics will explode in high definition on home theater systems April 17 with the Blu-ray Disc debuts of Enter the Dragon and The Dirty Dozen. Enter the Dragon stars Bruce Lee in his most popular film in America. The Dirty Dozen was nominated for four Academy Awards([R]) (winning one for Best Sound Effects) and the theatrical mega-hit remains a milestone among ensemble action flicks. Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, Ernest Borgnine, Telly Savalas and Donald Sutherland starred. All bonus materials on the Standard Definition version will be included on the high definition versions and will be available for $28.99 SRP. Both titles are also available on HD DVD for $28.99 SRP.

Bruce Lee, who starred in Enter the Dragon, was one of the greatest martial arts/action stars in the history of film. In this, his signature and most popular film, Lee plays an intelligence agency recruit who goes undercover as a Karate tournament contestant to infiltrate a drug trafficking ring.
