entrée into Hollywood. The American-Hong Kong
co-production, shot in Asia by American director
Robert Clouse, stars Lee as a British agent sent
to infiltrate the criminal empire of bloodthirsty
Asian crime lord Han (Shih Kien) through his
annual international martial arts tournament. Lee
spends his days taking on tournament combatants
and nights breaking into the heavily guarded
underground fortress, kicking the living tar out
of anyone who stands in his way. The mix of kung
fu fighting (choreographed by Lee himself) and
James Bond intrigue (the plot has more than a
passing resemblance toDr. No) is pulpy by any
standard, but the generous budget and talented
cast of world-class martial artists puts this film
in a category well above Lee's primitive Hong Kong
productions. Unfortunately he's off the screen for
large chunks of time as American maverick
competitors (and champion martial artists) John
Saxon and Jim Kelly take centre stage, but once
the fighting starts Lee takes over. The tournament
setting provides an ample display of martial arts
mastery of many styles and climaxes with a huge
free-for-all, but the highlight is Lee's brutal
one-on-one with the claw-fisted Han in the dynamic
hall-of-mirrors battle. Lee narrows his eyes and
tenses into a wiry force of sinew, speed and
ruthless determination. --Sean Axmaker, Amazon.com

In light of the 1990s' new-found appreciation of Schifrin'sMission: ImpossibleandBullitt, ... more
this CD transfer of the original vinyl album is no
surprise. But just shy of 30 minutes, and with
plenty more that could be included, it's a bit
ungenerous. After 20 films that pronounced him
master of his art,Enter the Dragonwas Bruce Lee's
Hollywood break. The tragedy, of course, is that
he died in Hong Kong three weeks before the film's
premiere in 1973. So, perhaps fittingly, the
score's infamous theme was a perfect portrait of
Lee Jun Fan--fast, funky and fun. And who cannot
help smirking with glee at the catchy vocal
"Hyogah!"? Mixing jazzy offbeat percussive rhythms
with oriental instrumentation, guitar and a heroic
brass section, this is genre-defining stuff. Some
25 years later, the score served to revitalise
Schifrin's career by inspiring the music for
Jackie Chan'sRush Hour. Its success meant numerous
re-recordings from the composer on his own label.
If only this were one of them. --Paul Tonks

Legend thy name be Lee
Review of Enter The Dragon (Box Set) (DVD) by TheNeil

Advantages: Combination of Bruce Lee and Hollywood is dynamite
Disadvantages: Lack of action?

...(and a Bruce Lee promo), Enter The Dragon is actually a pretty good film in it's own right. The story has merit, the pacing is good, and the visual aspects are well realised. Obviously the martial arts play a big role in the proceedings but the action is well integrated and avoids falling into the 'hey, look at this' trap. Lee is the big draw here and he doesn't disappoint, appearing to be at his physical best and performing some still breathtaking ...
...than his ability to break legs but he actually turns in a very good performance and his English is excellent (only the use of the name 'Braithwaite' causes him any problems and this was due to director Clause deliberately trying to trip him up). The rest of the cast are excellent and Kelly and Saxon acquit themselves well in their fight scenes as well as turning in credible performances outside of them. The rest of the cast do a good job despite ... Read review

Enter the Dragon
Review of Enter The Dragon (Box Set) (DVD) by Skyth

Advantages: haiiiiiayyyyyyyyyyyyyyiiiiiiiiiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Disadvantages: plot holes...brotha can't act...blonde d00d doesn't know karate

Plot Details: This opinion reveals major details about the movie's plot How new is the product...how many people have written for it already...how many times the people that wrote for it got read...how popular is the product. Ugh...I am going nuts. It has been too long since I reviewed something for the sheer joy of it. I need to get the math out of my head. So here is a tribute to one of the few movies I ever bothered to buy. I don't buy movies; ...
...because they will be on TV anyway. So why do I have this movie? Despite the fact that its older than me, 'Enter the Dragon' is the best martial arts movie ever made, and possibly it will not be topped during our lifetimes unless there is a major change in Hollywood’s attitude. The kung-fu mania has came and gone, and we only have B-rated martial arts movies made by American companies. Surely, Honk Kong is still coming up with some excellent kung-fu ... Read review

What If He Had Lived Longer
Review of Enter The Dragon (Box Set) (DVD) by EnglishPatient

Advantages: The final Bruce Lee film, an opportunity to see the man at his peak
Disadvantages: The final Bruce Lee film, and a sense of what might have been had he lived, some pretty brutal violence

...had upon mainstream worldwide culture, Enter The Dragon was the last film made before his death at the age of 32. This 25th Anniversary edition of his most famous film features an excellent letterbox presentation along with a range of added material equal in depth to many DVDs. It also restores 3 minutes of footage not included in the original US theatrical release. Enter The Dragon is what they would now call an action thriller, and it stands ...
...little of the genre, but Enter The Dragon looks tremendously authentic (save for the sound effects) and has a superbly orchestrated, visceral quality. Lee exudes an aurra befitting his iconic status, despite the occasional facial expression that evokes mirth rather than awe. Judging from the additional footage contained on the tape, Bruce Lee wanted to be seen as an artist and human being above all, moreso than a star (or merely an oriental one). ... Read review

The ultimate kung-fu film?
Review of Enter The Dragon (Box Set) (DVD) by redcockney

Advantages: You can see Bruce Lee at his best....
Disadvantages: ....non-kung-fu fans will of course disapprove.

Bruce Lee will have had fewer films that have touched upon the western psyche as this one did. With it’s inimitable style (much copied since including the recent Mortal Kombat), there is some logic in the plot. Many kuhg-fu films suffer from having a barely comprehensible plot and how and why it’s characters do what they do. With this film, the plot is simple, Bruce is recruited to be an undercover operative for the police who cannot infiltrate the ... Read review

Enter The Dragon DVD
Review of Enter The Dragon (Box Set) (DVD) by Trev1000

Advantages: Great action throughout
Disadvantages: Being governed by British laws, we have to make do with a cut version.

"Arguably the most entertaining, colourful and spectacular kung-fu movie ever made." Well that's what it says on the packaging, but unfortunately although it's most likely true, the film is destroyed yet again by the industries video guardians, well at least it is for region 2 viewers. Why is it that these ignorant people have to continually cut out the most memorable scenes? They say it's too violent and teaches the kids to be violent. What a ...
...with any martial arts based kiddie films they fully include the use of just about every weapon. Watch the Turtles with their nanchaku, or samurai, I suppose they think because it's a kids film it's not realistic. I think they should label all films like this as 18, just like they do with the softened adult films, at least then the kids would be treated as such, "LIKE ADULTS". Anyway now I've had my whinge I can tell you about the film itself. ... Read review
