Enter the Dragon is the most action packed of all of the Bruce Lee films. The film is based around Han's martial arts tornament that brings together many fighters of different styles into a story of new friendship, love and betrayal.
Unlike many martial arts films there is a considerably original plot which consists of three individual fighters all seeking out Han, the leader of a dangerous fighting tornament for revenge.
The roles that each of the main characters are given within the film are quite predictable in films of the martial arts genre e.g. Roper - John Saxon is the carefree fighter, Williams - Jim Kelly, the prejudised black fighter and Bruce Lee the quiet and unknown fighter.
The character flashbacks used within the film gives a great idea of the unique fighting qualities that they have and also the personal reasons why they are at the tornament.
The climactic scene containing hundreds of Han's students versus hundreds of martial artists that were imprisoned by Han is one of the best mass martial arts scenes that i have ever seen.
The fact that there isnt as many fight scenes containing Bruce Lee does not matter because the other characters within the film live up to the extremely high standard that has been set by Lee throughout the martial arts genre.
If you are a lover of martial arts films and have seen previous Bruce Lee films but have not been too impressed by his quality of acting you needn't be worried because Lee does himself justice in this film and his acting skills are considerably better than that of for instance The Big Boss, one of his earliest films.
For fans of Bruce Lee, this film, alondside The Game of Death, is one of the best of his films that were made and is highly recommended.
