Customer Reviews of Enter the Dragon
Not Just A Great Martial Arts Film! This movie is a classic of any genre. It has such a great dated fill to it like other classic sixties and seventies films such as Goldfinger, Deliverance or Dirty Harry. I love the cast and their interaction. A Chinese, African American and white guy all fighting together like there's nothing out of the ordinary about it, which is how it should be. These days you would have to have some joke where the Chinese guy makes some "innocent" crack about the 'hood or the black man calling the white guy cracker. In this film everyone is treated with equal respect. It seems to me this is something that was more common place in films in the early seventies or maybe it was the influence of Bruce Lee's own philosophies. Whatever the cause, it's nice to see three different races represented as equals.
The plot is a cross between a James Bond movie and the standard Kung Fu pictures. Bruce Lee is recruited by a shadowy government organization to infiltrate a mysterious island as a participant in a Karate tournament. This is basically a character and action driven movie because there isn't much suspense. It's pretty much a given that Han is up to something.
Where this movie shines is the martial arts action. I originally saw Enter The Dragon as a double feature at the drive in in the early eighties. I remember thinking as I watched the first feature (Kill Or Be Killed) that the fighters were fast. That is until Bruce Lee came on. I had never seen anyone move that fast before or since. The final fight in the house of mirrors holds up well and is every bit as thrilling as any fight scene of today.
As for the bonus features, the trailers are interesting if for no other reason then it's amusing to see how far commercials have come. The interview with Bruce Lee is particularly poignant. It makes you wonder what would be next. He had a powerful personality and very definate views on fame and movie making. I think his films would have only gotten better and may have even brought equality and better roles for minorities to the movies decades sooner.
Enter The Dragon DVD
This film was the first collaboration between an American studio and a Chinese one. It suffered alot of troubles on set because of language problems and some of the extras were rival gang members. Bruce Lee spent many hours dedicated to the films smooth running production not just superbly choregraphed fight scenes and script rewrites. Watch out for Jackie Chan he's in the underground cavern scene and Sammo Hung is the wrestler at the start of the film. This version includes more of Bruce's philiosphy (which had previously been omitted by the studios.) The DVD has some classic extras including footage of Bruce training in his back garden and excerpts from the only surviving interview of Bruce. The films features Bruce as a British Agent who must use his skills in a Martial Arts Tournament on an Island Fortress. He must break an opium ring and stop the Crime Lord Han. Cue great performances by Bruce Lee, Jim Kelly (who said he modelled his character on Mohammed Ali),John Saxon and Shih Kien (whose lines were dubbed for this film.) It is a great film and the dvd extras are worth the cost of the DVD alone!
ULTIMATE KUNG FU CLASSIC
ENTER THE DRAGON Two-Disc Special Edition (Warner) is not only the best Bruce Lee movie but the best Kung Fu film (sorry, Quentin). It's been 30 years since Lee's untimely death andfor me, he's still the ultimate martial arts action guy in the movies.
This double disc has several compelling documentaries that examine Lee's life and skills. A special treat is previously unseen footage of Lee in action.
Disc Two includes John Little's feature length biography Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey with a meticulous reconstruction of Lee's intended cut of The Game of Death.
