Enter the Dragon (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Great movie. Looks amazing in 4k!

Enter the Dragon(1973) is a classic, action-packed, kung fu movie produced by Warner Bros. and Golden Harvest in Hong Kong. This film made Bruce Lee an international movie star. Bruce Lee also died during the Summer of 1973 as he tried to complete Game of Death(1972). Enter the Dragon has been ripped off in "Bruceploitation Movies". This film has been spoofed in beverage TV spots, Kentucky Fried Movie, and Balls of Fury(2007) starring Christopher Walken and George Lopez. Lee(Bruce Lee), Roper(John Saxon), and Williams(Jim Kelly) infiltrate a martial arts tournament on an island run by the evil, corrupt Mr. Han(Shih Kien). Lee gets help from sexy, secret agent Mei Ling(Betty Chung). The late Ahna Capri plays a sexy villainess that Roper is attracted to. Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, and Yuen Wah play bad guys in the film. Yuen Wah doubled for Bruce Lee in some action scenes. Angela Mao makes a guest appearance as Lee's on screen sister. Lee's Jeet Kune Do student Bob Wall plays bad guy O'Hara. Lalo Schifrin's Enter the Dragon music score is lush, colorful, and energetic. Director Brett Ratner is a fan of Schifrin and he hired him to write music for the Rush Hour movies. Enter the Dragon gives us authentic Asian culture and stereotypes of it. There's Sumo wrestlers at Han's party. The late Robert Clouse did a decent job directing the film. Clouse went on to direct lesser martial arts films such as The Big Brawl, Black Belt Jones, Force Five, and Gymkata. Enter the Dragon borrows ideas from James Bond movies and 1940's pulp comic books, but the film works thanks to Bruce Lee's participation on the film. Michael Allin's script takes notice of the film's flaws. Williams tells Han that "he comes right out of a comic book". A British bureaucrat played by Geoffrey Weeks tells Lee why Han's island isn't stocked with firearms. The film has some brief, gratuitous nudity! There's two nude women in Williams' room! Bruce Lee shows some grace with the kung fu fights that he staged for Enter the Dragon. Enter the Dragon was spoofed in Kentucky Fried Movie(1977) as "A Fistful of Yen"! Bong Soo Han(the action director for Billy Jack) played a Han-like villain. After Bruce Lee died in 1973, the quality of action movies in Hong Kong went downhill. Some movie producers in the United States in the 1970's avoided making kung fu movies. Filmmakers such as Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Tsui Hark, Chor Yuen and Gordon Liu picked up the slack in the late 1970's. Enter the Dragon(1973) was one of the most enjoyable movie made in the 1970's.

Perfect!!! Thank you so much!!! =)

This movie is a classic of any genre. It has such a great dated feel to it like other classic sixties and seventies films such as Goldfinger, Deliverance or Dirty Harry. I love the cast and their interaction. A Chinese, African American and white guy all fighting together like there's nothing out of the ordinary about it, which is how it should be. These days you would have to have some joke where the Chinese guy makes some "innocent" crack about the 'hood or the black man calling the white guy cracker. In this film everyone is treated with equal respect. It seems to me this is something that was more common place in films in the early seventies or maybe it was the influence of Bruce Lee's own philosophies. Whatever the cause, it's nice to see three different races represented as equals. The plot is a cross between a James Bond movie and the standard Kung Fu pictures. Bruce Lee is recruited by a shadowy government organization to infiltrate a mysterious island as a participant in a Karate tournament. This is basically a character and action driven movie because there isn't much suspense. It's pretty much a given that Han is up to something. Where this movie shines is the martial arts action. I originally saw Enter The Dragon as a double feature at the drive in in the early eighties. I remember thinking as I watched the first feature (Kill Or Be Killed) that the fighters were fast. That is until Bruce Lee came on. I had never seen anyone move that fast before or since. The final fight in the house of mirrors holds up well and is every bit as thrilling as any fight scene of today. As for the bonus features, the trailers are interesting if for no other reason then it's amusing to see how far commercials have come. The interview with Bruce Lee is particularly poignant. It makes you wonder what would be next. He had a powerful personality and very definate views on fame and movie making. I think his films would have only gotten better and may have even brought equality and better roles for minorities to the movies decades sooner.

Great martial Arts movie. The 25th Anniversary in DVD is nice to have in my collection of movies for my home theater 🎥 I have Star Wars, The Godfather Trilogy, Terminators, Scarface are just among my collection. A must have if you're a movie buff 💪🎥

A great movie by martial arts star Bruce Lee. Believe it or not, I’ve never seen this film before, so upon reading the reviews and hearing how good it was, I decided to order it on Amazon. I bought the September, 2009 edition. Like many others who have commented, I found the movie interesting and action-packed. It has a big “Hollywood” production feel to it. The storyline is kind of cheesy and the acting is B-grade, but the fighting in it is phenomenal. Despite his relatively small size and stature, Bruce Lee is a great fighter. He’s fast, powerful, and very skilled. This movie highlights his incredible martial arts skills to a tee. The fighting displayed by the other actors is okay. Of note is the tragic character of Su Lin in the movie, played by Angela Mao. The woman fights off a whole bunch of men who try to rape her. Instead of being raped, she defends herself with skills likened to a female Bruce Lee! As a man, I didn’t expect this at all. I thought she would give in, and the men would take advantage of her. For that time (the movie was made in 1973, so just barely out of the 1960s), it was nonexistent to see a woman in a “fighting-back role”. The way Lee’s sister handles the situation proves otherwise, and she defiantly avoids being raped. The outcome is just one example of the many twists and turns in “Enter The Dragon”. Overall, it’s a thrilling action-packed movie. Definitely not a movie for children because of the violence and sex, but many adults, especially guys who are into martial arts, will go wild for this movie for sure!

I am one of these people who likes old things, I still use a Video recorder and still have many old VHS tapes. I have all the Bruce Lee films on Video. The picture and sound quality in my opinion is fantastic, although I admit whilst it is a good movie, again in my opinion the mouth dubbing sometimes is not quite right but I bought it for the karate scenes, in my opinion Bruce was the true master

BRUCE LEE ENTER THE DRAGON 4 K ULTRA HIGH DEFINITION PLUS BLUE RAY 💿 2 DISC SET IS AN ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT RELEASE OF BRUCE LEE'S FINAL MOVIE LAVISHLY FILMED BY WARNER BROTHER'S ON LOCATION IN HONG KONG AND THE SOUTH CHINA SEA IN 1973 I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.

素晴らしいブルースリーの最高傑作であるこれにはあのウォリアーズジャー二ーが入っているので必見である

DENN.....dank der Recherche eines liebgewonnenen Freundes, thank you Alex:)*, ist meine Brilli- Sammlung jetzt vollständig. Vollständig uncut! Und natürlich in perfekter und brillanter Bild- und Tonqualität.(Siehe auch meine Rezension zu " The Bruce Lee Collection "):-) DER MANN MIT DER TODESKRALLE: Phantastisch, Spektakulär, Spannend... Einzigartig - wie eben alle echten Bruce Lee- Perlen. " Entschuldigung,....ein neuer Schüler..."......" Was hast du empfunden dabei? " - " Da muss ich mal nachdenken. " - " Nicht denken! Fühlen sollst du! Das ist genau wie bei einem Finger....ein Finger, der in Richtung Mond zeigt. Du darfst dich nicht nur auf den Finger konzentrieren- denn, wenn du das tust, siehst du ja nichts von der himmlischen Pracht und Herrlichkeit.....die entgeht dir dann vollkommen. Hast du mich jetzt verstanden?" - Hmm..ja. " ( Der Schüler verbeugt sich vor Lee....mit gesenkten Augen)... " Lass deinen Gegner niemals auch nur für eine Sekunde aus den Augen- nicht mal, wenn du dich verbeugst! " ENTER THE DRAGON- Gott, wie sehr liebe ich diese(n) Film(e). Diese Juwelen mit dem größten Kämpfer aller Zeiten. Dieser Mann, der mich mit seinem unverwechselbaren Charme, seinem Sinn für die Gerechtigkeit- und seinem trockenen Humor- immer wieder aufs Neue in Verzückung geraten lässt. Nichts Böses überlebt die Wut von Bruce Lee. " He, das ist nicht komisch! " -. " Soll ja auch nicht komisch sein! " ************************************************************************************************** Story: Gangsterboss Han, der als Tarnung eine Martial- Arts- Schule für seinen Opium- Schmuggel sowie Prostitution auf einer Inselfestung betreibt, hat scheinbar auch den Tod von Lee`s Schwester zu verantworten. Um diesen Mord zu rächen, schleust Lee sich unerkannt in diese Hochburg ein und nimmt an Hans brutalem Martial- Arts- Turnier teil................................................... *************************************************************************************************** Fazit: Herzlich willkommen! Auf der Insel der Mega- Kämpfe(r) !! Hier gibt es leckeren Reis und andere Spezialitäten. Hübsche Mädchen, schöne Damen, starke Männer, totel fiese Machenschaften, falsche Schlangen und echte- und das Turnier des edelsten und gigantischsten Wettstreits der besten Kämpfer. " Mr. Lee, Mr. O`Hara? Sind sie soweit? " Dieser Zweikampf ist besonders, sticht direkt am Anfang hervor- erinnert er doch härtemäßig an das Duell zwischen Lee und Norris im Klassiker " Die Todeskralle schlägt wieder zu ". Und Lee`s Auseinandersetzungen im Labyrinth der Verschleppten und Gestrandeten- streng bewacht von einer Armee Kung- Fu- Fighter. Und wieder sind zehn bis fünfundzwanzig Angreifer in geballter Formation ein sogenannter Pappenstiel für meinen Held. Kinderspiel. Zwei Original- Kino- Plakate nenne ich mein eigen- Glück musste man damals eben haben. Lee inmitten der Meute- nur bewaffnet mit einer langen Holzstange. Bis dann sein Freund und Helfer, genannt Nunchaku, zum Einsatz kommt. It`s fantastico. Logo. Ganz großes Kino...und heute noch ein Hingucker. Absolut. DER MANN MIT DER TODESKRALLE- sowas gibt es nie wieder. Und auch hier herrscht klar Regel Nr. 1: Lächerliches Nachahm- Getue strengstens unerwünscht und echt verzichtbar! Sonst hole ich die plüschbesetzte Stahlkralle aus dem Tresor! Harhar. DER MANN MIT DER TODESKRALLE- und der Kinosaal bebte. Damals. (Selbstverständlich und auch bei JEDEM seiner Filme. Ich war dabei. Immer.) Das Spiegelkabinett auf riesiger Leinwand. Bombastisch! *****Lauflänge: 98.15 Minuten! Exakt! Disc 1= SPECIALS: - Original- Kommentar von Paul Heller( Producer)! - Blut und Stahl: Das Making of " Der Mann mit der Todeskralle "= 30 Minuten! - Bruce Lee: Mit seinen eigenen Worten= 20 Minuten! - Linda Lee Cadwell Interviewgalerie= 16 Minuten! - Die Höhle des Drachen= 8.50 Minuten! ***** Disc 2: SPECIALS: - Der Fluch des Drachen= 87 ergreifende Minuten!! - Bruce Lee: Der Weg eines Kämpfers= 100 Minuten!!!(Mit Szenen aus " Mein letzter Kampf", die NICHT in der Kinoversion gezeigt wurden!!************************************** Und unfassbar vielen Filmsequenzen, die bisher noch nirgendwo zu sehen waren!!) - USA- Kinotrailer, TV- Spots! *****Bruce ist ein Idol. Seine Filme laufen noch in Paris, Athen und Mexiko Stadt. Die Shaolin- Mönche verehren ihn. Ein malaysischer Stamm betet ihn an und glaubt, er ist noch am leben. Sämtliche Specials sind wunderbar- einige waren mir bis dato völlig unbekannt. Freu. Das besondere an Bruce Lee- Filmen war er selbst! BEAUTIFUL! VERY BEAUTIFUL!
