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

Clasic Bruce Lee.......2007-07-04

Probably the best known of Bruce Lee's films, this one has a great cast of supporting actors who were skilled martial artists in their own style.Lot's of great action and a great display of Bruce's unsurpassed skill. Excellent quality of video and audio. This is one of the best remastered films I've seen.

Enter the Dragon.......2007-07-03

"Dragon" breathes fire for purely one reason: the riveting presence of Lee, whose personal charisma and particularly ferocious brand of martial arts made him an international star. Part James Bond-style thriller, part Hong Kong chop-socky extravaganza, "Dragon" was Lee's last film, and quite justifiably his most popular. His battle with the gargantuan fighter Bolo (Sze) is a head-turning highlight, as is the scrappy brawl between real-life karate champions John Saxon and Jim Kelly, playing shady ex-pat Americans. But the film's climax, a harrowing confrontation between Lee and the deadly, claw-fisted Han in a hall of mirrors, turns this kung-fu classic into an extravagant Asian treat.

His 4th and last film.......2007-04-17

Well, this movie had a profound impact on me. I discovered Bruce Lee shortly after his death, and then he became my childhood hero. Yes, I had all the posters and all the books. I even studied Wing Chun as an adolescent, just like he did. Speaking of which, it is amazing to me that until his last breath he never really abandoned that style of fighting, despite all his experimentation and despite founding Jeet Kune Do. Leaving aside the opening scene in which he mostly adopts Mui Thai (Kickboxing), and with remarkable prescience, Ultimate Fighting type mixed martial arts, the rest of the film in terms of his hand fighting is strictly Wing Chun: all the trapping hands and short, precise, practical movements and techniques are virtually 100% Wing Chun.

Now, was this Bruce Lee's best film? Well, in some ways in terms of production value it was. But if you pay close attention to Fists of Fury (also known as The Chinese Connection), and Return of the Dragon, you'll find that the production value of those two weren't that far behind ETD, and in some cases was better. Production wise, nothing in ETD can compare with the battle with Chuck Norris in the Coliseum in the climactic scene from Return of the Dragon. Similarly, in Fists of Fury, the battle in the Japanese Karate dojo along with the fight against the big European towards the end are as good, if not better than anything in Enter the Dragon. The one poorly produced film made by Bruce Lee would be The Big Boss, his first on his return to Hong Kong. Although, that too had some scintillating and spectacular fight scenes.

In terms of Bruce Lee himself, I'm afraid to say he was past his prime at this juncture. Remarkable, powerful and masterful yes, but somewhat past the prime he demonstrated in his earlier films. Martial Arts, in the end, is an athletic endeavor, and athletes generally reach their prime in their mid to late 20s and pass it as they approach 30 and beyond. And, of course, Bruce Lee was under an extreme amount of pressure. This would be his make or break film. If it failed he would be finished in Hollywood, if it succeeded he would finally take his place among the Hollywood elite whom he alternately admired, envied and detested. In addition to that, there were guys coming out of the woodwork wanting to fight him and claim the singular distinction of being the one guy who kicked Bruce Lee's butt. When he couldn't avoid it, he actually had a couple of real fights on set during the making of this film, and he didn't dissapoint. There was no fancy stuff, his opponents were quickly and ruthlessly dispatched. Had he lost any of those fights his career would be over.

All in all this film is a classic. It has some of the most brutal and beautiful hand to hand fight sequences ever committed to film. The battles are at once fantastical and savagely realistic. There is a minimum of fakery here, which at the time was the hallmark of Kung fu movies. And while Bruce Lee would always add fancy kicking to his film repertoire, many of his techniques here are in fact practical and commonsensical, and would work on the street if executed by a decent fighter.

Enter the Dragon is the only Bruce Lee film in which we hear his real voice. And it was finally the big budget, relatively carefully made Kung-fu movie everyone was clamoring for. But the greatest compliment I can pay this film is that after having watched it dozens of times over the last 30+ years, I can still watch it over and over again.

The man the myth, the legend........2007-04-02

Bruce Lee was a cult figure/phenomenon that may never be explained, a martial artist, a philosopher, a movie star. This movie I have always thought was his finest effort and showed the more thoughtful introspective side. The original scene with the shaolin,priest was cut out but it really gives you some of his thoughts on Zen and Fighting. Its great that it was put back in. I have to agree with others that in this movie Bruce was beginning to look sick and may have been slowly dying, his face was drawn and he was carrying to little body fat. The speed and power was evident and this is a great movie with a great story.

i have a lot of bruce lee's work but this is his finest hour... the plot and the movie have the best script and the supporting actors are very good... it also had the best cinematology, great locations... excellent dvd with bruce lee at his best in all categories!!!

I was impressed with this transfer to Blu-Ray. Resolution was great, although colors and detail not as vivd (due to reproduction from old film). Still, better than some of the newer BRD releases such as Legend of Sleepy Hollow (stay away from that one).

Excellent.......2007-05-19

The definitive copy of Enter the Dragon for any Bruce Lee fan. The movie itself looks as good as it ever has. The single disc also includes something like 3-4 hours of Bruce Lee documentary including home video footage of Bruce training, and footage from him at martial arts expositions. The interviews are excellent throughout. Finally the real big plus is that it includes a new release of all available unedited footage from Game of Death.

It's basically Enter the Dragon, plus all the actual Bruce footage from Game of Death, and all the documentary you will ever want to watch.

everything and the kitchen sink.........2007-05-07

the picture quality and audio quality being remastered here is an absolute beauty....this is worth the price alone..

but then you have all of the extras and pretty much every..if not every documentary on Bruce Lee...

if you're a Bruce Lee fan and are wondering if this is worth the purchase.....

the anser is YES...

Matial Arts Fan - You Gotta See This.......2007-05-07

I have been a martial arts fan forever and have owned a variety of copies of this movie - including just about every special edition sold. I was skeptical of buying the HD version because some of the prior "special remastered" versions retained the grainy nature of the original videotape versions and to be honest - I assumed it was grainy on the master copy and so not something that could be fixed. I could not have been more wrong.

I don't care if you have seen this movie 1,000 times, watching it on HD is like seeing it for the first time. Some of the costumes that always looked black in other versions are proven to dark navy or dark brown - WOW.

The detail in this verion is amazing and none of the earlier recurring graininess is present. You can debate whether the film is outdated - but let's face it, the basic plot of this movie has been copied so many times that people coming to this for the first time will think it is just following the old martial arts movie format - NOT TRUE - this movie set the format and everyone else has been copying it ever sense.

If you enjoy martial arts movies, this version of Enter the Dragon is a must own.

" A Must Have" for the Bruce Lee fan.......2007-02-07

I was not disappointed at all with the transfer of this classic to hd-dvd. I was very impressed with the color and crispness and the audio surprised me as well! This is a must have for the die-hard Bruce Lee fan and a casual fan of the genre will not be disappointed as well. A huge Bruce Lee fan all my life i can't wait for the release of his other movies in hd-dvd or blu-ray.

Super Feature Packed, Must Have.......2007-01-05

There is not a single HD DVD on the market with as many comentaries and featurettes as this movie. It will take you several evenings to finish it all. If you are even slightly interested in documentaries or history, you will find much of the additional material interesting, especially the interview with Bruce's Wife.

The HD transfer is very good. Considerable time was spent removing film artifacts and making sure the colors were bright and rich. This is how HD DVD should be. Due to the very poor soundtrack from the original movie, the 5.1 mix is mediocre. However, it is to be expected, and does not take away from the HD film experience.

Overall, if you have found your way to this Movie's page on Amazon, then you are probably interested enough for this HD DVD movie to be a must buy.

Has 25th Anniversary scenes........2006-11-03

Most anyone looking at a review of this already knows what it is. That being the case I just wanted to add that this version has the scenes included with the 25th Anniversary Editions and that the picture quality is outstanding. I state that because I had doubts about how well restored the picture could be and what effort would be made into transferring it from optical.

The audio wasn't lacking, but I didn't find it particularly remarkable either. It was clear and crisp, but I didn't notice any remix work for surround or anything like that.

impressive transfer.......2006-09-04

I've watched the recent HD DVD version of this movie and found the picture quality excellent. The colors are richer and the overall quality appears to make the picture jump out at times when viewed with the Toshiba A x1 player.

I don't think it is fair to give the movie a low rating, as one reviewer did, based on the fact that it is an older movie. Comparing any older movie to modern day production values is misleading and inaccurate. Following this comparisson, one would have to give a low rating to all movies not done in the past few years.

Enter The Dragon was innovative for its time and utilized production methods that were top quality for its time.
The transfer itself is the citeria that the review should be judged on, which in this case is done quite well.

As for the comparrison to the 60's James Bond movies, the HD version of You Only Live Twice is superb. Yes, the fashion, music, dialogue,... are not modern day; how can a film escape it's own time period. However, the Connery Bond movie screenplays far outweigh the childish, comic book portrayals in the curent Bond films with only protracted stunt sequences to amuse a child like mentality.

It is interesting that for an "outdated" film like Enter the Dragon, it's character depictions, plot and fight choreography are most often duplicated by today's style of martial art movies.
Have today's "highly evolved" movies no original ideas other than replacing Lee's actual fighting skill, speed, gracefulness and charasmatic screen presence with acrobatic clowns whose abilities are enhanced with wire work.

The picture and sound quality of the HD Enter the Dragon is most striking when viewed on the Toshiba player. It is certainly more entertaining then watch a highly detailed HD version of the inane Pitch Black or recent Jackie Chan, Jet Li films whose silly plot lines and poor acting are to be ingnored just to impress friends coming over to view how amazingly life like the picture quality is!

Once the novelty of watching films on the superior HD DVD passes, classic movies will always stand on their own merit.

Greatest Martial Arts Film Ever Made.... Still.......2006-10-25

This movie started the martial arts film explosion in the US. Bruce Lee's skills were far above any other martial artist that followed him. It was various derivations from his original ideas for most things that happened later in the martial arts in America. Quoting Dana White of the UFC "Bruce started MMA (Mixed Martial Arts)." Years before it was figured out. First to teach non-chinese kung fu in the US. First to use real martial artist as villians in fight films. First to do a arm-bar to end a fight on film in the Shaolin Temple no less in this movie! (20 years before UFC.) It was his original idea later turned into the popular television show Kung-Fu.
Anyway, this movie was easily his best film and was his launching pad to post humorous super stardom in the US.

Great movie, awesome action.......2003-10-10

Lots of martial arts. Theres a tournament, so of course there's going to be alot. Basically though there is one thing that makes it so awesome. Bruce Lee. He is so cool. Tons of people get killed.

The plot is he is a secret agent, britain or something. He goes in to find out why people have been dieing, like girls have been getting killed or something. The real cool thing is that Bruce Lee isn't up against a huge dude who can beat him in one punch. Noone can even compare to Bruce Lee and his fighting.

The action is plentiful, some comedy too. Like, "Wheres your uniform?" Anyways, I love the movie, and the special eddition is cool.

The action rules! He kicked that one guy so hard, you had to be there! to like believe it.
Overall--->5 Stars

This is the best, hands down, martial arts flick ever. Phh, best movie ever. Bruce Lee is and was the man.

The best movie that Bruce Lee every made, and even includes scenes that were cut from the original when the movie was first shown. Is still a classic in the martial arts realm, but is a good movie for anybody to watch.
Has a good plot, action, and good writing that would have made a hit in the movie theatres today.
With your purchase, you will receive a CD with music tracks from the movie, the DVD movie itself, with trailers and a short interview with Linda Lee Cadwell, his wife, some posters from the movie, and a movie still from the movie itself in a special frame.
Is a great gift for the martial arts fan.

Brilliant.......2001-09-12

After buying this collectors edition set i feel i have spent my money very wisely.The DVD itself has a great interview with Bruce Lee which I had only seen brief clips of before and it was very imformative.The film itself,again as you all know is one of Bruce Lee's best,only slight draw back is that it is a double sided DVD but this you can put up with.The extras inside the box are great,the book on Enter The Dragon was again very imformative also the pictures,postcards etc were all very done.

This is a must buy for Bruce Lee fans .

Dreadful DVD Quality.......2004-12-22

First things first: this quadruple feature does not, I repeat NOT star Bruce Lee. The films included star a host of amusingly sub-par Lee imitators that sprung up after his death (Bruce Li, Bruce Le, Bruce Leung, Dragon Lee).
"The Dragon Lives Again" is an unforgettable movie that was the reason I ordered this disc. The premise: Bruce Lee (Leung) is in hell, where he becomes the enemy of a group of famous characters (James Bond, Zatoichi, Dracula, The Exorcist, The Godfather, Emmanuelle) that want to overthrow the emperor of the underworld. Along the way, he befriends the One Armed Swordsman and...Popeye the sailor! A veritable cornucopia of copyright infringements, this is just about the most enjoyably bad Bruceploitation movie you'll ever see.
"Bruce Lee: The Star of All Stars" ("Exit the Dragon, Enter the Tiger") tells the story of one of Bruce Lee's pupils (Li) who wants to unveil the truth about Lee's death. His quest sees him meeting Bruce's mistress, getting tangled with the mob, and even engaging in some Bruce Lee-inspired comedy relief moments.
"Enter the Game of Death" is the best movie on the set. A shameless ripoff of Bruce Lee's uncompleted "Game of Death," it's packed to the gills with surreal and exciting fight scenes. Though Bruce Le is no Lee in charisma, his fighting skills are decent and the action scenes are among the best in a bruceploitation movie. Also starring Bolo Yeung.
I didn't watch Dragon Lee's "Mission for the Dragon." Sue me.
These two double-sided DVDs from VideoAsia are absolutely horrible. "Enter the Game of Death" is widescreen, but it has a jittery picture that makes it nearly unwatchable. "Dragon Lives Again" is in severely cropped and faded full screen that makes the already lacklustre fight scenes that much worse. "Bruce Lee: Star of Stars" is actually in its original Chinese language track...but the subtitles are faded and constantly run off the screen, making the action sometimes impossible to follow! Argh!
The only special feature is something called "InstaAction," which allows you to watch the movies' action scenes skipping past all that pesky plot.

BRUCEploitation...PERIOD........2004-09-23

What can I say...? The only plus signs about this particular 2-pack are the fact that it features one of my childhood fav's, Enter the Game of Death(which, in my opinion, outshined many of the other attempts to present Bruce Lee's true vision for Game of Death) and the Bruce Li film is HOTTT because for the most part he's being HIMSELF and the subtitles and original language give it a certain authenticity that an english dubbed version wouldn't have. What left me P.O.'d was the quality(ie, Enter the Game of Death looked like it filmed during an earthquake and the plot structure wasn't there until Bruce Le got to the Tower of Death...before that, Bruce fights Bolo Yeung in the forest, then they're in the ring and Bruce breaks the guy's neck, then they "fight to the death" by the tower? Gimme a break.) The other films were BRUCE ploitation at worst and not worth mentioning.My advice...save your money and get a hold of Chinese Connection 2, the Fist of Fury Legacy, Exit the Dragon...Enter the Tiger, & Game of Death II.

This is not even Bruce Lee!!.......2004-07-19

Take a look, it is a Chinese fake. That is NOT Bruce Lee. It is Bruce Le. A pathetic scamming of a great Chinese-American!

Hopefully, this will be a good DVD.......2004-05-04

Operative word is "HOPE" as I doubt they will release Bruce Lee's films in 5.1 or clean up the picture, even though it is good on other Regions. Let's just hope this DVD has a better picture cleared of all defects, Dolby Digital 5.1, the FULL movie, and some extras. Bruce Lee deserves a hell of a lot more than he gets with these cheap Region 1 DVDs.

Rambo and the Force of Freedom fights against the S.A.V.A.G.E. evil forces led by General Warhawk and his hechmen who tries to impose their will and control different countries in the world.

The Pentagon has Colonel Samuel Trautman and the Force of Freedom in charge of dealing with all situations that compromizes the world's peace.

Expert mechanic Turbo,master of disguise Kat and ninja White Dragon helps Rambo on his tasks against Sgt. Havoc and an all sort of villanins and mercenaries.

I used to watch this when I was a kid and I like it.Graphic violence is show but noone is hurt(audiencies are 5 and up).

Overall a great entertainment.

in reply to the previous guy about two episodes.......2005-09-16

This series reminds me of G.I. Joe with explosions and no deaths. It is great to have 11 episodes on one disc. There are two problems I have with this disc.
1. two episodes are messed up with interference.
2. episodes are out of order, especially when you only get two episodes (1 on each disc) of the five part "Tierra Libre" story. Also, the last title on the back of this DVD is not the title on the disc.
To the person who only got two episodes, I feel badly for you since my DVD has eleven. Try again, and see if they can send you a complete one.

What a Rip Off - Only 2 episodes per disc.
I am not only a big fan of the Rambo animated series, I also had the chasnce to work on it. So, when I found out the episodes were coming out on dvd, I pre-ordered them without researching more info on the discs set for release. The discs list about 11 episodes, but only have 2. I thought this must be a mistake somehow. I then played the disc in a few players and still only episodes appeared. A friend asked me did I really belive that 11 episodes would be fit on one disc if not double-sided? Which this is not. I have returned both volumes 1 - 2 for refunds. What a Rip Off!

"An honorable man does what he must.".......2005-08-29

Gather `round the ol' DVD player and get ready for a second batch of random Rambo episodes from our friends at Lions Gate. Everybody loves ninjas, and this collection is chock-full of ninja action...along with a few pirates, a magician, and a voodoo priestess thrown in for good measure. What's more, Transformers fans will enjoy hearing the voice of legendary Autobot leader Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen) during several of these Rambo adventures. This thrill-packed potpourri includes episodes 20, 41, 19, 35, 49, 57, 24, 28, 44, 23, and 5 from the classic animated series. It does NOT include episode 4, `Raise the Yamato', as the back of the case incorrectly states. Unfortunately, Volume 2 suffers from some much more noticeable video abnormalities than Volume 1, the worst of which being the persistent flickering of some nasty horizontal lines across the screen during the first half of `Mephisto's Magic.' It's enough to make you exclaim (as Turbo does in episode 23), "My stomach feels like it just crossed the Atlantic with Columbus!" Well, at least the background music (from composer Jerry Goldsmith) is always present, which is more than I can say for `Thundercats Season One Volume One'...but I digress. Will you enjoy Rambo Volume 2 in spite of its flaws?--Count on it! `Cause any disc featuring a scene in which twin ninjas do battle on top of a moving van is a must have; and any cartoon featuring a heavily-armed character named Mad Dog who zooms around on a motorcycle shouting things like, "Let's hit `em with lead `til they're good and dead," has GOT to be cool! But Rambo is educational too, and I'll prove it by closing this review with what I like to call...RAMBO's Words of Wisdom:
"Civilization has its advantages, but if it weren't for the wilderness what good would it be?"
"A brother's love is a precious and sacred trust."
"Doing my job well is its own reward."
"Parents are a lot more forgiving than most kids think."
"Just because somebody tells you something doesn't mean it's true. You always have to check the facts for yourself."
"Smoke isn't as dense near the floor."
"Voodoo is nothing but a lot of hocus-pocus."

Classic 80's Cartoon on DVD.......2005-06-23

This cartoon is a lot of fun - it's a more gentle, talkative Rambo than the movies, but the theme music and death-defying stunts are still there. There's three main problems with these discs (this and Volume 1):

1. No special features (unless you count "Full Screen Version" and "2.0 Dolby Digital Audio" as they do on the package)
2. There's an error on the episode listing on the Vol 2 package: "Raise the Yamato" should be "The Taking of Tierra Libre"
3. The episodes are in semi-alphabetic order on the disks, rather than the much more logical order that they aired. This is especially problematic since the first 5 episodes of the series were a 5-parter, and only parts 3 and 5 are on these sets.

Bruceploitation At It's Finest!.......2007-02-08

I actually own both versions of this movie. This film was originally released as "Bruce Lee Star of Stars" in Cantonese(which can be found on the Return of the Dragon Pack with 3 other such Bruceploitation flicks), but for the purpose of marketing and promoting Ho Chuong Tao(Bruce Li) in the U.S., it was re-cut, dubbed over and released as "Exit the Dragon, Enter the Tiger." Predictably, in either case...the film begins with Tiger(Bruce Li) meeting up with Bruce Lee(Bruce Li) and Betty Ting Pei during a movie shoot about 3 days before his passing. On the set he's having multiple headaches, tells Tiger about mysterious phone calls, and deems Tiger as his successor in the event of his death. In either version, Bruce's death leads to Tiger's own investigation into what turns out to be Bruce's murder and his findings lead him into a mafia-like conspiracy that ends with Tiger battling the Baron, who lures him into a duel of the death by kidnapping Betty Ting Pei and his(Tiger's) girlfriend and holding them hostage.

Honestly, the only thing that cheese up the film as that they're exploiting the mysterious circumstances surrounding Bruce Lee's death and incorporate the use of actual, real-life personalities into the plot, meaning we see the fictionalized torturing of Betty Ting Pei my syndicate thugs, meetings between Tiger and Betty Ting Pei, pictures in her apartment with love notes from Bruce Lee, a mysterious recording of a supposed phone conversation about Bruce's murder,etc. However, the action is there, and I was particularly impressed with the quality of product. This one's a keeper not just because of the action, but because it's a 2006 re-issue and the best, remastered Bruce Li flick since Anchor Bay re-released Goodbye Bruce Lee:His Last Game of Death(Bruce Li). Only thing is that you can't fast fwd and there are no chapter selections, but overall, good movie, good quality, just falls short of a 5 in my book for being Bruceploitation as opposed to an authentic Ho Chuong Tao production.
