Description:
Recruited by an intelligence agency, outstanding martial arts student Bruce Lee participates in a brutal karate tournament hosted by the evil Han. Along with champions Roper and Williams, he uncovers Han's white slavery and drug trafficking ring located on a secret island fortress. In the exciting climax, hundreds of freed prisoners fight in an epic battle with Lee and Han locked in a deadly duel.
Amazon.com:
The last film completed by Bruce Lee before his untimely death, Enter the Dragon was his entrée into Hollywood. The American-Hong Kong coproduction, shot in Asia by American director Robert Clouse, stars Lee as a British agent sent to infiltrate the criminal empire of bloodthirsty Asian crime lord Han (Shih Kien) through his annual international martial arts tournament. Lee spends his days taking on tournament combatants and nights breaking into the heavily guarded underground fortress, kicking the living tar out of anyone who stands in his way. The mix of kung fu fighting (choreographed by Lee himself) and James Bond intrigue (the plot has more than a passing resemblance to Dr. No) is pulpy by any standard, but the generous budget and talented cast of world-class martial artists puts this film in a category well above Lee's primitive Hong Kong productions. Unfortunately he's off the screen for large chunks of time as American maverick competitors (and champion martial artists) John Saxon and Jim Kelly take center stage, but once the fighting starts Lee takes over. The tournament setting provides an ample display of martial arts mastery of many styles and climaxes with a huge free-for-all, but the highlight is Lee's brutal one-on-one with the claw-fisted Han in the dynamic hall-of-mirrors battle. Lee narrows his eyes and tenses into a wiry force of sinew, speed, and ruthless determination. --Sean Axmaker

Rating:  - Enter-tainment By the Best Martial Artist of All Time! Too Bad About the Picture Quality Though!
I really enjoyed this film because it was a lot more than just a martial arts flick in which the plot was just an afterthought to surround the fighting scenes like most martial arts films then and even now. In fact, as has been pointed out by many reviewers here the action scenes are certainly not the best fight scenes ever but that's okay as it's clear that that was never Bruce Lee's intention in the first place. This film was more of a vehicle for Bruce to try and pass along his philosophy which is why the previously deleted scenes from the original screening which has been added here are so important.
That's not to say that all the fight scenes were poor because that's just not true. The scenes were pretty brief because as Bruce himself has mentioned, the real-life fights are never drawn out and lengthy as the fastest one who strikes first is almost always the winner and Bruce shows just how fast he is in his fight scenes. His fight with Bob Wall was quick, efficient and deadly and is realistic. Those who were expecting a Wong Fei Hong type one man against an entire village kinda flick won't get it here as that is simply not realistic as far as fight scenes go.
The final scene with the mirrors is so apt as it reminds us of the beginning of the film where Lee's teacher explains to him how the enemy uses images to deceive and to destroy the enemy you need to destroy the images which is what we get. So we get a better balance here of philosophy, storyline and action ... Read More
Rating: - Classic movie!!!
To reviewer anticlamagus: YOu think wire-fu is better. Thats all you have to say, theres no need to write an entire page to express that,and call people who doesnt share the same view lunatics.
Bruce written,directed,and choreagraph most of his movies. Which means
all his movies are will be influenced by his own personal beliefs and philosophy.One would probally be his ideal of the ultimate
warrior(very obvious in the game of death, when he had to overcome various and very different styles to reach the top) and most importantly
JKD, which literally translates to method of the straight fist( because the straight line is the most direct and quickest route from point a to point b). So his movies does not really contain longish types of choeagraph action. If thats what you want, you need to look elsewhere.
Rating:  - Bruce Lee's enter the Dragon
My Dad is going to love this when he comes back to visit in Dec. 2008. He took us to the movies to see this film in 1973 or 1974 can't pin point it I was about 7 or 8yrs old. My kids say whose better Bruce Lee or Jet Lee? My son said Bruce of course, so I said lets have a history lesson. Classic good digital color and sound. Must have in your library.
Rating: - Superb!!!!!!!!
I finally saw Bruce Lee's acting!!!
That's what impressed me the most with this movie. Bruce Lee was not just the martial arts pro in this one. I saw a quality ACTOR. Kudos!!!
Rating: - Legendary extradonaire
Bruce lee's creative and outstanding performance is highlighted in this extraordinary movie. This is his finest quality performance exhibiting his Legendary skills which were ahead of his time and even to this day still inspiring and engaging. The beginning of the film where he spars Sammo Hung is an awesome setting for what is to come in the movie. What sets Bruce a part from all of the rest is his character energy and his extraordinary power and speed from such a small framed man. Now that Enter the Dragon is in Blueray, it is sheer pleasure and excitement as on the big screen! What a legendary Martial Artist, actor and human being!!!
