- Superb Martial Arts Extravaganza
This, Bruce Lee's final feature film before his untimely death, is an extravaganze of martial arts, containing some of the most visually impressive and electrifying fight scenes in the martial arts genre. It was also the first 'Hollywood' film to really bring the martial arts genre and an oriental landscape into the mainstream.
The plot is weak, but this doesn't matter, as Lee's perfromance is strong, his acting charismatic and fascinating. Within the martial arts genre, he has his own very unique and distinctive style, comprising a vast array of weird noises and manic facial expressions.
On a mission to avenge his enemy 'Han' for the deaths of his Mother and Sister, Lee systematically fights a veritable army of fighters in a special martial arts training school, eventually coming face to face with Han in a dramatic showdown.
Indeed drama, striking visuals, superb sound effects and beautifully choreographed fight scenes are in plentiful supply in 'Enter The Dragon', so much so that this should be enjoyed even by people who are not fans of the genre. Naturally Bruce Lee enthusiasts will be delighted with this succinct, yet action-packed film.
Rating: - The Greatest Martial Arts Film Of All Time!
Enter The Dragon is one of my favourite films. It's one of those ones that you can always watch. You know it like the back of your hand but it's still extremely watchable. This is due to it's star. Bruce Lee just oozzes screen presence and his martial arts skills are just out of this world. The plot is a little thin but that doesn't really matter. All you want to see is Bruce kicking ass. Great fight scene after great fight scene. The music is cool as well.
Special Features include all 96 mins of Lee's intended cut of Game Of Death plus home footage of him practicing etc plus interviews. It's all great stuff and at around £5 this is a great buy.
I wonder what Bruce would have done after this had he lived!
Rating: - Great Extras ..... As good asthe film itself.
Growing up, this film not only introduced me into the world of Martial Arts, it also turned me into a big Bruce Lee fan. Enter the Dragon was a favourite film of mine and to this day its an enjoyable watch. However, the best thing about this DVD are the extras. On there is a documentary called 'Bruce Lee A warriors Journey' ..... this is the ultimate record of Bruce Lee's life, his philosophy on martial arts, and his brilliance as a fighter. The fight scene at the end of this documentary (taken from lost footage) is better than any you'll see on the main movie itself. This 'special edition' is all you need on Bruce Lee.

- Don't be foooled, this version is not totally uncut
Having seen the film in 1977 for the first time The film was completely uncut at that time. Now I have seen the so called uncut version on dvd and to my dismay the dvd version is still cut. Some of the fight scenes especially when Bruce Lee Kills O'hara(Bob Wall), in the fight between Bolo and one of the guards you actualy see Bolo break the guards back and hear it snap and when Roper kills Bolo, are heavily edited. Perhaps one day they might bring back the full uncut, unrated version to dvd. This is a big con the film distributors claim the film is uncut when it is not. They get away with it by putting in scenes that were left on the editing floor and say that the version is uncut. However having said all that, this is best version you can buy of the film at the moment.
Rating: - The only martial arts movie I will watch
I have only really scanned over a few other martial arts movies, and I've always had to turn them off. This one though I could sit through every time. Why? It is simply a class movie, that's why. It is so well structured and so well directed, it works nearly as well as a spy movie as it does a karate chopper, in fact it is almost an Oriental James Bond movie. It doesn't get too tied up in the sort of plot that would see it more as an espionage thriller, it sensiblly just flirts with the spirit of a Bond movie, keeping its focus on the martial arts it is keen to showcase in the way it had only been touched on in similar films. Lee really is powerfully magnetic here, and what a future he would have had, had he lived! The final fight scene in particular is breathtakingly good. A brilliant movie, thanks to a master.
