Enter the Dragon - Limited Edition Collector's Set
Editorial Review:
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

Greatest Martial Arts Film Ever Made.... Still.......2006-10-25
Great movie, awesome action.......2003-10-10
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
