Longstreet | DVD (Visual Entertainment)
RELEASE DATE: December 1, 2017
On December 1, 2017, North American distributers, Visual Entertainment, will release the DVD for the complete Longstreet series (including TV movie), a semi-obscure ABC TV show that aired in 1971-72.
Longstreet follows the adventures of Mike Longstreet (James Franciscus), a blind insurance investigator who’s on a mission to capture the people responsible for killing both his wife and his ability to see.
For kung fu cinema fans, Longstreet is perhaps best known for showcasing Bruce Lee (Enter the Dragon) in 4 episodes: “The Way of the Intercepting Fist”, “Spell Legacy Like Death”, “Wednesday’s Child” and “‘I See’, Said the Blind Man” – all of which will be included in the set.
Bruce Lee historians consider his appearance in the Longstreet series the truest representation of not only his personality, but also his philosophy and art. It’s also one of the very few times we get to hear his actual voice speaking an ample amount of English dialogue.
This will be the first time Longstreet will be officially available in any format in the United States. Until Visual Entertainment’s set goes on sale, the series has only been available through VHS-quality bootlegs.

I just rewatched the first two episodes with Bruce in them a couple of months ago….can’t wait to add this to the collection.
It’s been over 2 yrs and still no release???? Go f*ck yourself Longstreet.
Later this year. 🙂
The Bruce Lee ‘Longstreet” series is excellent, I just love this series, Bruce Lee is so amazing with his acting skills and martial arts ability, no wonder he continues to live on as a legend of the martial arts. It was a pity that Australia never bought this tv series? Bruce Lee is the best, from ICTF-Australia (TaeKwon-Do) Sabum Nim Edward Brian Scott 6th Dan Black Belt, TaeKwon.
