Product Description
From 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

ULTIMATE KUNG FU CLASSIC,
By
This review is from: Enter the Dragon (Two-Disc Special Edition) (DVD)
ENTER THE DRAGON Two-Disc Special Edition (Warner) is not only the best Bruce Lee movie but the best Kung Fu film (sorry, Quentin). It's been 30 years since Lee's untimely death andfor me, he's still the ultimate martial arts action guy in the movies.This double disc has several compelling documentaries that examine Lee's life and skills. A special treat is previously unseen footage of Lee in action. Disc Two includes John Little's feature length biography Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey with a meticulous reconstruction of Lee's intended cut of The Game of Death.

The Best of Bruce Lee,
By Danno (NY, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Enter the Dragon (Two-Disc Special Edition) (DVD)
Enter the Dragon, as any fan will tell you, is the definitive Bruce Lee film. It rightly deserves 5 stars both on its own merits and its influence on subsequent films. The audio and video quality have never been better. This deluxe 2-DVD set serves not just as a tribute to the film, but also to Bruce Lee's entire career. It includes documentaries on his life, as well as a reconstruction of several key scenes in Game of Death - the intended follow-up to Enter the Dragon. This is the DVD that Bruce Lee fans deserve, and newer fans will have no idea how spoiled they will be by the wealth of goodies Warners included in this set.

I bought this for my husband for Christmas, and it was amazing! He was so pleased. The storyline was super and the action was great. My husband is a fan of Bruce Lee, so he was very happy.
