Advantages: THE ORIGINAL AND THE BEST OF ALL LEE MOVIES
Disadvantages: WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER ON 1 DISC ONLY.

...The original and best of all Bruce Lee's movies this one is timeless. Enter the Dragon was the one that put Lee on the map and sent him to superstar cult status. A classic this one has everything and has set the standard for many a martial art epic for many years since. The fight scenes are still fresh and awesome with Lee showing his genuine martial art ability and unmatched speed and agility. Despite knowing the storyline and format I quickly found myself willing Lee on towards the fight scenes as they truly are tremendous. The background music and bizzare fashions of the early 1970's only add to the cult that Lee championed and brings you back to the kung-fu boom of the era. Enter the Dragon special edition is the one to own to sum up Bruce Lee's dynamic and stand alone career. Whether a martial art fan or not this special edition... Read review

Chen Chen later realises that his master was poisoned, fueling his fire to avenge the death of his master by killing the Japanese responsible. Unlike the Big Boss and Way of the Dragon, Fist of Fury has a very powerful story, giving reason for the astounding fight sequences. This film contains fight sequences where... Read review
