The only real disappointment about Enter the Dragon is that it is Bruce Lee's last movie.
If kung fu is now the standard badass language, Enter the Dragon -- featuring Lee's great slow-burn stare -- is the first grammar lesson.
Rising popularity of the Chinese martial arts as screen entertainment climaxes in fine crescendo in this violence-drenched actioner.
Ripping entertainment overall, with just enough meat for amateur sociologists.
On an adventure level, the performances are quite good. The one by Mr. Lee, not only the picture's supermaster killer but a fine actor as well, is downright fascinating.
The opening drums in Lalo Schifrin's musical score can give you chills.
Legendary Bruce Lee actioner has some raw elements.
The chop-socky film to beat them all.
It's worth catching this schlock art film to see Lee play a 007-type super-agent, who is an expert in kung-fu.
Presents a powerful, kinetic ballet by a martial arts master at the peak of his form--just try looking away from him.
Nonstop action is what these films are about, and that's what you get here.
I'm not sure if the movie was originally meant to be as tongue-in-cheek as it comes off today, but it's certainly as much fun as ever. (HD-DVD Edition)
...it's still great entertainment and remains a first-class action thriller in first-class style.
High karate and low kitsch ... Forget the dopey James Bond plot and train your eyes, little grasshopper, on Lee as he takes on army of henchmen, demonstrating his revolutionary kung-fu moves and a fire-breathing squint.
Worth seeing for Lee, but still unforgivably wasteful of his talents.
The granddaddy of martial arts movies
For martial arts fans, this is THE one. (I'm not such a fan.)
