A different way of telling a story

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

I understand that for many martial arts movie fans, this is a nostalgia trip. But that doesn't change the fact that this is a bad movie. The dialogue is laugh-out-loud terrible, and most of the performances aren't great. Also, almost all of the audio appears to be ADRed, and some of the Chinese actor's voices where clearly redone by a white guy with a southern American accent who didn't even try to match the flaps. There are long pauses in between most lines of dialogue where we just stare at someone's face, which is hilarious. Most of the dialogue is pure nonsense and does nothing to further the plot. Watching this really made me understand why Samurai Cop exists--the dialogue is exactly the same quality (but much less racist).In my opinion, most of the fighting scenes were boring. This might be because I'm used to watching BJJ fights, which involve much more grappling, and so are a bit more dynamic than most of the fights, which just involve punching and kicking. Bruce Lee's fights stand out as the best by far, you can really see his skill. In some of the shots of the morning ritual, you can really see some of the extras phoning it in and not keeping proper form, which is funny.A lot of the stuff that happens in this movie makes no sense. Why use a king cobra instead of an armed guard? Are king cobras even indigenous to China? Why do all of the competitors and the guards randomly start fighting each other right before Bruce Lee fights the bad guy? What's the bad guys motive? Why did the bad guy lock a bunch of people in his evil underground lair? Wouldn't it just be really expensive to have to feed them all? Why are the only conversations that actually get anywhere about prostitutes? How did the agency who contacted Lee know that bad stuff was happening on this island? What did the agency even want Lee to do? Why did the bad guy kill the only man who knew who was in the garden? Why doesn't the side plot about one character's gambling addiction never get resolved? Actually, why isn't there any character development (unless you consider death a development)? Why does the bad guy literally let people beat each other to death in his tournament? Wouldn't that just attract the police? The film doesn't have a great portrayal of women, and the way the African-American character is just downright offensive. "Funky" music plays anytime he is on screen, he dies first, he's clearly supposed to be the comic relief of this movie.Ultimately, this is a hilaribad movie. The only thing that's really good about it is Bruce Lee, and he deserved to be in a much better movie. Don't be fooled by the high ratings, this is just a nostalgia trip for fans of martial arts movies or fans of Bruce Lee. If you're looking for something funny to watch with your friends, do a couple shots and this is your movie. If you're looking for a decent film, look elsewhere.And please, for the love of god, read the quotes on this website. It's basically the entire script, and it tells everything you need to know about this movie.

In my opinion enter the dragon is a film that I recommend to see everyone who has not seen it since it is a classic that can not disappoint you. It is necessary to mention that it is a very old movie (1973) and the methods used in the film are a little outdated such as the quality of the camera, the sounds added at the time of the battles, fake blood, among other things. But in my opinion the film has aged well because once you start watching it you enjoy watching it and you do not realize all those details. I think Han killed William because he thought he killed his workers. A film that pays tribute to this movie is Kill Bill, because you can see how many actions are similar to the movie enter the dragon. Enter the Dragon copied many details of the James Bond movie.

In the early 1970s action movies haven't fully given the punch they wanted to give, until Enter the Dragon came out. Enter the Dragon is about a martial artist, Lee, who is sent to an isolated island as a tournament member to spy on a crime lord, Han. He meets Williams and Roper while he is there. This film is a great film to watch with your friends and popcorn and the action scenes have aged very well, although some of the sound effects are very cheesy but it fits with the tone of the movie. One thing I liked about this movie is that it killed off one of the main characters, Williams. He is killed because Han thought he was roaming around at night finding secrets, but it was actually Lee that was doing that. This movie has a notorious scene. The final battle between Han and Lee in the room filled with mirrors. Many films like John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017) and The Guest (2014) have taken that scene to use as a climactic fight scene. This movie also takes some stuff from James Bond, from the way it looks and the way it sounds. It has an isolated island with a secret lair deep inside it and the villain has some sort of dismemberment. The score of the movie is also very similar, with a lot of bass and very slow. Overall, this movie is worth your time. If you want to see a fun action movie, check out Enter the Dragon.

This film essentially shows why Bruce Lee is the best action star of all time and also the most charismatic martial artist of all time, despite the fact that he only starred in five feature-length movies. The fight sequences with the guards in the dark, and the final fight scenes with Han, are among the best action sequences choreographed in the history of movie, even seen from now, more than 50 years after the release of "Enter the Dragon".
