Diagonaldi Very well executed
Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
blrnani A truly great action film that provides us with a worthy legacy from the master, Bruce Lee. It also kindles the inevitable 'what if' nostalgia, wondering where his career might have gone if blessed with Jackie Chan longevity. Tho' I do worry about Jackie's well-being, still doing so many stunts himself, even today. Bruce Lee always seemed to be the physical ideal - strong but quick and light; a contrast to the muscle-bound Schwarzeneggers - so it is still hard to accept that his body betrayed him in the end, if we are to believe the official story. But celebrity does have its temptations and pitfalls and it was a period when drug taking was considered normal in certain spheres. Moreover cocaine, especially, feeds the notion of of immortality, of being untouchable and capable of anything (while simultaneously wreaking its internal damage). Who knows what really happened, but I shall always treasure my copy of this film.
linneachute This movie was not exactly worth my watching because I am not one to watch Kung Fu movies. I like how to movie has an old feel to it. How it was filmed with ADR and there was no sounds recorded while filming. The sound and actions were spot of off and that made the movie hard to watch. It's punches were not in time with the sound of a punch.*SPOILER* I think they killed Williams because he was really nosy in other peoples lives and he was really annoying to watch in the movie. This movie stole music and sound effects from spy movies like James Bond. Overall this movie was not for someone who doesn't like Kung Fu but if you did then it is an entertaining movie.
slbossman Enter The Dragon is a movie from the 1970's that ultimately changed peoples perspective on action movies. The fighting scenes were extremely memorable and still leaves me amazed about how the movies was only filmed with 2 cameras. Although it was an incredible film, some aspects to the movie did not age well. The way the women in this film are shown, portrays them to be some sort of object given out to praise others. If a film had a scene like this in 2017, there would be a lot of controversy. The sound effects, specifically with the hitting, in this film were quite distracting and countered the whole theme of the movie. Other then these points, I feel that the film managed to age well and continue to entertain its' audience. There is one character who does not make out alive in the end, and that is William. He is suspected of lurking around after dark and deems himself untrustworthy to Han. I believe he is killed off in an epic fight scene due to these reasons, and Roper is left untouched. A new film that actually pays homage to Enter The Dragon would be John Wick 2. There is a scene in the film where the villains are walking through a hall of mirrors, which is a tribute to the battle between Han and Lee in the room of mirrors. Although Enter The Dragon inspired many movies, it also took inspiration from some as well. The whole theme of infiltrating an unreachable island was stolen from all the James Bond movies. The whole mood of the movie really reminded me of the James Bond movie which makes it such a great film. Overall, I feel Enter The Dragon is Bruce Lee's best movie and was definitely worth my time watching.
groberts-218-710539 Enter the Dragon, starring Bruce Lee and directed by Robert Clouse. This movie came out in the early 1970s, back when action movies haven't fully attracted audiences around the world. But along came Enter the Dragon. This movie really launched the action genre to be one of the most common genres. The action scenes all really hold up, although some of the sound effects didn't age that well but it doesn't take itself seriously so most of it holds up well. One thing that doesn't hold up is the use of female characters. They are mostly used as sex symbols, because nowadays females have much bigger roles in movies, they impact the plot. During the film one of the main characters is killed, Williams, and it took me a while to figure out why he was killed. I think he was killed because Han though that he was the one roaming around at night. Newer films like John Wick Chapter 2 (2017) and The Guest (2014) have taken one scene in particular. The scene where Lee fights Han in the room filled with mirrors. No one had seen a scene like that back then. But what this movies takes from other movies is the look of the movie looks like and sounds like a James Bond movie. The isolated island with a secret lair deep inside it. The music score has a lot of bass and very slow. This movie is a lot of fun to watch. It is a perfect movie to have friends over and watch it with popcorn.
