The battle with the guards WAS magnificent. His skill IS extraordinary. Enjoyable 70s nonsense which is at its best when Lee is beating seven colours of shit out of people. Saxon and Kelly bring some fun to the party, and that Schifrin score is quality. Despite its reputation, there are probably better kung fu films, but this has a fairly unique appeal.

The movie's villain is an island-owning creep with his office next to a torture museum and an opium den where 70's hippie ladies are being high as fukkkk all day. Even though I'm already an old guy, I think this is what I want to be when I grow up. Enter the Dragon is not perfect by a long stretch, but I don't give a hoot. Lee is the goddamn MAN and a delight to watch, the cast is neat and I love the proto-Mortal-Kombatness of it all. Cool, campy fun.

Why is this movie so highly regarded? Sure, Lee is an impressive physical specimen and an amazing martial artist, but a lot of the fight scenes in this movie are really pretty boring, because his opponents suck, so there's no balance. Bullying isn't fun. There's usually not any impressive choreography, either. There are a few good ones towards the end, though. And the story is just completely laughable.

The fighting is top notch, I love the paltry story to set up as much fisticuffs as possible, but realistically, Bruce Lee was never going to be a great actor like Chuck Nor...Jean Claude Van...Steven Seag...Dolph Lund...Tony Ja...You know what? He's does juuuuuuust fine.

Bruce Lee moonlights as a surf guitar secret agent since being a warrior-poet doesn't pay bills. Sure, he beats up like a hundred guys at the end but the speech at the beginning is what gets me juiced - "A good martial artist does not become tense but ready, not thinking but not dreaming - ready for whatever may come. When the opponent expands I contract, when they contract I expand. When the opportunity comes I do not hit - it hits all by itself". Smash the mirror, destroy the self-image.

To be brutally honest this is the only Bruce Lee movie with a passable plot, even though nowadays that plot has been done to death and really becomes cliche. However, Bruce Lee's fighting more than makes up for those faults. I wouldn't consider it landmark cinema, in fact there are some really amateur mistakes in terms of cinematography, and apparently Robert Clouse is a jerk, but Bruce Lee kicking ass and taking names catapult this flick from "painfully mediocre" to "pretty damn awesome."

The greatest body auteur of cinema brings to the screen not only the class and beauty of a man who is a master of subtle, light and strong moves, but an entire pack of conventions for martial arts films. It deals with an institution struggling with honor and one of its dissidents. Enter the Dragon also is a story of vengeance within a clandestine tournament, filled with amazing close-ups and marvelous visual solutions -- the mirror room sequence is a masterpiece.

Overrated. Although this has some of the greatest (& beautifully shot) fight scenes ever filmed (esp. Bruce's battle w/ the guards underground), there's not enough of them, and the spaces in between aren't interesting enough. You basically wait for the fight scenes & it's the lack of action that makes me recommend almost all of Bruce's films (except Game of Death) over this one. Still... the fight scenes here score 100 plus.

Cool, flashy fun with the barest of minimums in plot & characterisation. Well shot but bluntly paced & just barely structured. Bruce Lee is always interesting to watch & there are a couple of great fights (Bruce vs. guards underground is just pure awesome). It mostly lacks the physical & mental intensity of some of the better Hong Kong productions of the time & goes for a sanitised lobotomised Hollywood style. A tad disappointing but solid stupid fun with nice visuals & very high camp potential.

Negatives first: It takes a while to get going, the flashbacks are awkward, and the low rent James Bond plot is a real letdown, even in the context of a kung fu flick, and especially because this film was more ambitious than the two bob films Lee made in Hong Kong. I rate this film for two major reasons: 1)Lee's intense physicality, and 2)its masterful 'update' of the mirror scene in The Lady Of Shanghai. It's one of the most inspired variations on a classic movie sequence I've ever seen.

Lots of fun. It really is just Dr. No with martial arts, but then again, it's Dr. No with martial arts. Lee is as great as legend says, and I honestly liked his performance -- he knows everyone in the movie sucks compared to him, and he plays his character just the same. I like the medium shots, too; a nice change of pace from the shitty quick-cutting of today. Seriously, who can hate a movie in which Bruce Lee teams up with Carl Sagan to take down an Asian Richard Nixon?

A classic of the genre and one of the few martial arts films to garner a significant mainstream following. Ultimately, there are better and more interesting martial arts films, but this one serves as a great primer for the uninitiated as it's exciting and has a sensible plot not prone to the goofy excesses much of the genre is know for.

The only draw here is watching the charismatic and surprisingly brotastic Lee break piles of human boards. The pacing is dreadful and the inanity of the plot had me shaking my head in disbelief. There's a few nicely composed shots here and there, but the only message I came away from this film with was that Bruce Lee was a fucking badass. Which for all I know makes this a success.

Lee is brought in by the Secret Service to compete in a martial arts tournament on an island ruled by a drug dealer. Lee is ordered to take him out, but there should be no weapons on the island. However, the kung fu expert Lee is a weapon in itself. What follows is a battle of life and death.

Han is decadent because he is opening up to the rest of the world and exporting stuff, just like the modernizing Hong Kong. Lee's fight is the good old Shaolin teaching's Stoicism fighting against decadent Westernization (traficcing girls and opium to the West). No surprise that help comes from a black panther! But beyond that fun and watchable.

The final fight sequence was pretty dissapointing, but the film's kitshy, cheesy, cliched vibe gives it an entertaning camp value surpassed by probably no other action film. Also, watching Bruce Lee being the general all-around bad ass that Bruce Lee is, is one of the most rewarding experiences of all cinema.

Terrible overdubbing, but that's to be expected, minimal production values and at times even the action is cheesy, but this does retain a modicum of entertainment--all, of course, from Lee's ass kicking. If this were a non-stop thrill ride I'd have thought it definitely worthy of praise, but it just can't hold water compared with the martial arts stuff we've seen in recent years.

Quite disappointing. Nothing stood out, the fight scenes felt uninspired and somehow watching Bruce Lee beat up everyone just doesn't carry the movie. I mean the plot surely wouldn't.

Using this for my thesis as well. Lee showed that Asian men could be action heroes too, not just sidekicks. However, this movie is still problematic (desexaulization of Lee). Still, it does interesting things with race (friendship between Roper and Williams). Overall, not bad.

Probably the most tolerable---on anything more than a superficial level, anyway---martial arts film I've seen. It embodies many of the clichés of 70s Asian martial arts films: bad dubbing, even worse plot, virtually non-existent direction. However, the plot is just tight enough to keep you interested throughout what the film is really about: the thoroughly entertaining action sequences. Definitely worth a watch, but not something to turn many heads from a technical perspective.

There is only one reason to watch this film and that's to see Bruce Lee in form. There's some really iconic images in this film such as the hall with mirrors and the legendary tournament fight. Overall though it's marred by a silly 70's plot, bad pacing, and terrible dialog. The choreography isn't all that great either and pales in comparison with some of the fantastic stuff Shaw Bros was putting out in Hong Kong during this era.

Mostly americanized and probably most famous Bruce Lee film. Story is very simple, and doesn't always make sense. But it's the movie that spawned the whole illegal-martial-arts-tournaments subgenre. Fighting isn't the best you can see in the film with Bruce Lee, but it is the most colorful and very entertaining. Mirror effects in the end are great, and very innovative.

A great premise for a martial arts film, and Lee is always a pleasure to watch, especially when he's fighting angry. My only complaint is that the film spends too much time on Kelly and Saxon - they're ok, but compared to Lee's their fighting scenes feel slow and hokey (esp. Saxon's).

A case of the title being better than the film itself. The main problem for me is that there is not enough of Bruce as the dragon, rather for most of the film he is a sort of James Bond figure that does not do justice to Bruce's intense physicality. Having said that, he does pull some incredible poses. Also, it takes far too long for the characters to actually get to the island fortress and commence the tournament (the time dedicated to their backstories is wasted).

Viewed September 27, 2021. Like all of Bruce Lee’s movies, the pacing is uneven and it spends an oddly large amount of time on people that aren’t Bruce Lee. But its hybrid of American crime movie, Hong Kong action and James Bond rip-off is a lot of fun, and Bruce’s showmanship reaches new levels of greatness here in a fighting tournament plot that Jean-Claude Van Damme would later borrow for most of his movies.

Enter the Dragon did not drag on much at all. I thought it really had a nice James Bond type of feel to it. It even had bad guys with fluffy white cats. Bruce Lee was in perfect form as usual and just amazes you with his martial arts prowess. I really liked the rest of the supporting cast too. Jim Kelly as Williams was my favorite and I loved his hair. Also like a James Bond film, this movie had a bevvy of babes. What can I say, this movie had it all... action and a good production design...

Enter the Dragon by mainstream standards is regarded as one of, if not the most iconic martial arts film of all time. Featuring Bruce Lee at the peak of his stardom, of all his films this is arguably the best production of them all. The plot is serviceable, but the showcase of martial arts alone make this one of the most important & enjoyable action films ever. Bruce Lee brings such charisma, as does the great supporting cast of Jim Kelly, Bolo Yeung, John Saxon, Robert Wall & Kien Shih.

Overrated in terms of it being the highest acclaimed and well known of Lee's films but I suppose it does deserve its popularity, even if it's nowhere near his best.

The story's a lame Bond knock-off, the baddie is indeed 'right out of a comic book' but Lees' astonishing skill and charisma here are unforgettable.

Lee: "A good fight should be like a small play, but played seriously. A good martial artist does not become tense, but ready. Not thinking, yet not dreaming. Ready for whatever may come. When the opponent expands, I contract. When he contracts, I expand. And when there is an opportunity, I do not hit. It hits all by itself."

My first Bruce Lee movie. Very stereotypical, bad acting, obviously fake fighting scenes, but that groovy music and 70's look make this movie a fun watch. Quite of a James Bond plot, but set in the Mortal Kombat universe.

not a big fan of the genre, but you have to respect Bruce Lee. Bonus points for the John Saxon factor.

Only seeing this movie after having watched THE KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE led to a strange case of déjà vu. The only film I have seen with this star.

This just made me laugh a lot. It's pretty entertaining- maybe not for the intended reasons, but that doesn't really matter in the end.

OK, so this is the seminal martial-arts movie. I am not impressed. Bruce Lee is just not that charismatic a hero, the visual style is dull, the fight scenes are obviously choreographed, and too much of everything is stolen from better movies

Lee's fight against Oharra is probably the best thing about this entire movie. I mean, not that the rest of is no good, either!

Ok, it's a classic, but the only person in the cast with any skill (by current movie standards) in martial arts is Bruce himself, and the plot? Bwahahaha!
