The Plot
A member of a Shaolin Temple Lee (Bruce Lee) is recruited by british intelligence to compete in a Martial Arts tournament that takes place on a private island owned by suspected drug dealer and all around bad egg, Han (Kien Shih). Lee is asked to find out as much information as he can about Han's empire. The added carrot for Lee is that his sisters death was at the hands of Hans henchmen who attempted to rape her, causing her to take her own life.
The fight scenes in this movie were nothing short of remarkable for the time. Powerhouse action from Lee who is superbly supported by other martial arts legends Bolo Yeung and Bob Wall amongst others. Lee's painstaking attention to detail is evident in each encounter and his on screen presence is still to be bettered in modern martial arts movies.
The American performances of Jim Kelly as Williams and John Saxon as roper manage to hold up despite sharing the screen with the magical Lee and don't look out of place.
Many western producers were still dubious about the box office potential of a Chinese actor in a lead role but luckily Warner Brothers took the risk in making the first American martial arts movie. .
The Verdict:
A classic that deserves a place in the highest order of action films. Bruce Lee and co provide a thoroughly entertained, superbly choreographed masterpiece. Brilliant martlial arts action and a great soundtrack to boot you really should see this film.

Review of Enter The Dragon (DVD)
Advantages: Bruce Lee's best and final film, tons of special features, sharp and detailed picture. Disadvantages: A poor audio track which only appears to use the front two speakers of a 5.1 surround system
