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 withRunning Time: 102 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE UPC: 085392863327 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 Average Rating:
 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 ...

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 extradonaireBruce 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 ... Read More Rating:  - Only Certifiable Lunatics Could Possibly Think That "Enter the Dragon" Has Great Action ScenesIf there's one thing I personally hate with every ounce of my body, it's a mediocre film that gets propped up on an undeserving pedestal for nostalgic reasons. Why? Because frequently the film's proponents will mask their nostalgia by magically transforming mediocrity into greatness with their rose-colored glasses. Meanwhile, these fanatics will demean other movies that are objectively better than their beloved film for no valid reason. Yes, I know that the enjoyability of a movie is subjective to each ...
