Enter The Dragon (DVD)

...and my father pressed 'Play'. Enter the Dragon started, and it was to teach me about Kung Fu. Enter the Dragon was my first introduction to Bruce Lee, who is arguably the greatest Martial Artist of all time, and it was one I was never going to forget. I became a fan of Bruce instantly; his competence in acting was secondary to the magnificent Kung Fu he used to cripple his enemies. My interest and love for Martial Arts began in the wake of this ...
...Background ================== Enter the Dragon is perceived as the ultimate film of the Martial Arts genre. It significantly happened to be Bruce Lee's first and last Hollywood production. He had at this point starred in three Chinese blockbusters and was in the process of directing and producing Game of Death - which looked set to be another giant hit. However when the offer for Enter the Dragon arose, it was one Bruce could not refuse. It would ...

Review of Enter The Dragon (DVD)

...year. Bruce Lee starred in Enter the Dragon, a film that has made over $200 million worldwide to date and therefore is undoubtedly the most successful martial arts film to date, and a screening which helped propel the fighting style to fame. The charismatic Bruce Lee plays a martial arts teacher called Lee who travels and competes in tournaments around the world. An upcoming tournament is being ran by a man known as "Mr Han" who the British Government ...
...martial arts popular again. Enter the Dragon features some of the best and most intense fighting scenes ever shot on film. The film includes a scene where Lee takes on and defeats no less than 50 enemies by himself, and also shows his skills with the deadly Nunchucks weapon. The speed at which Lee rotates and duels with this rare weapon is a pure joy to behold. The Nunchuck scene being included in the Blu-ray version is a huge plus aswell; the scene ...

...powerful. Lee isnt going to enter the tournament but it approced by a government agent who tells Lee they are investigating Han for crimes linked to drugs and prostitution. They have no proof however and need Bruce to investigate whilst he is there. Bruce goes to the island and as you can expect there are many fights and Han ends up being a bad guy. The plot then may not be the most complex but it provides easy watching. The main reason to watch ...
...despite being is quite a lot of pain due to a recuring back problem. Bruce was very proud however and still did all his own stunts and many difficult fight scenes. Bruce was also challenged by the extras on the set, many of whom were actual chinese gang members. Im sure if Bruce had his way he would have fought them all but most of the time fights were dissolved quickly. Bruce also loved being involved in the camera work and the direction in general. ...

Review of Enter The Dragon (DVD)

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 ...
...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 ...

Review of Enter The Dragon (DVD)

...When you watch Enter the Dragon these days, it becomes pretty obvious, almost immediately, where films like Mortal Kombat and Conan the Destroyer got their inspiration from. This, the first kung film to be produced by a major Hollywood studio, and the last completed Bruce Lee film before his death "by misadventure", is credited with popularizing the martial art in America and establishing Lee as a cultural icon. And the reason that the film is considered ...
...action. The fight choreography in Enter the Dragon is so good that we needn't bother dwelling on what's bad here. So ignore the paper-thin, James Bond-type plot, and the piss-poor attempts at emotional expressiveness, and enjoy Enter the Dragon for what it is: Jaw-breaking kicks, high- pitched squeals, and incredibly-ripped male bodies. Indeed, Lee's phenomenal fitness has to be witnessed to be believed. [Visit me at: http://www.andycarrington.co.uk] ...

...in camp,they recruit Lee to enter the competition,and alert them to Hans full potential. A bit slow to get going,but all is worth while, as it does, Where as most martial art films, are in my opinion over the top with there computer graphics and impossible moves,This film shows them all the way,As a true master, puts on a superb display of human agility and mind over matter,His skill using martial art weaponry,such as the knunchukers is unsurpassed. ...
...do tend to lose the plot easily, but well worth watching, as not many chances come in a life time to see a true master ply is art at his best. My two children who were both born after the death of Bruce Lee,saw this film and have since become Bruce Lee fans,who both encouraged by the skill of Lee, took up martial arts, both of which I'm proud to say went on to earn there Balck belt. ...
