Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review:
One of the most successful martial arts movies of all time, if not the best, Enter the Dragon (filmed in 1973) was Bruce Lee's last completed film and the first significant meeting of Hollywood and Hong Kong cinema. But it wasn't an entirely harmonious marriage, with on-set communication breakdowns and rows resulting in some poor scripting, editing and overdubbing. Lee plays a Shaolin fighter recruited by British intelligence to spy on renegade Shaolin master and crime overlord Han (Shih Kien) by entering the martial arts tournament held on Han's fortress island. If the plot sounds a touch contrived, it is. Han's fluffy white cat, clawed hand and ruthless megalomania suggest nothing so much as a classic Bond villain, and the plot has holes you could pilot a large Junk through (Lee's discovery that his sister committed suicide rather than submit herself to Han's men is particularly weak). Nonetheless, Lee is utterly compelling. At the height of his skills, he choreographed, directed and performed fight scenes which are among the most gripping ever filmed, including the classic underground scene which, in this uncut version, contains Lee's incredible (and previously deleted) nun-chuck display. John Saxon and karate champion Jim Kelly ably support him as fellow contestants, with the massive Yang Sze playing Bolo, Han's lieutenant. Despite being cheesy and overblown, Enter the Dragon is a highly entertaining and accessible Kung Fu film and a showcase for Bruce Lee's considerable skills. --Duncan Thomson

- Superb Martial Arts ExtravaganzaThis, 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 ... Read More

- 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.

- 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 ... Read More

- Don't be foooled, this version is not totally uncutHaving 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 ... Read More

- The only martial arts movie I will watchI 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 ... Read More
