I was actually inspired to watch this again when I was listening to a whole load of Lalo Schifrin soundtracks recently. It's been a good number of years since I'd seen it but I was surprised that I remembered as much of it as I did.

I found myself remembering the action scenes, as you would expect, and some of the dialogue ("FEEEEEEEL!") but I even found myself remembering facial expressions as well. I know I saw it a few times when I was a kid but not so much that I would remember it as well as this. Hmm.

It was great to see, though, that Enter The Dragon really is actually a cracking film, isn't it? When you're…

Probably the most quotable martial arts movie. Serously, I've said it before but I wish this was like 30 minutes to an hour longer. I would've loved more time of the 3 leads hanging out, competing in the tournament. Figuring out what's going on, getting to know one another better, etc. Some of the best moments are just them in this interesting environment. I've always loved the "Martial Arts Tournament" storyline and always get a little sad that the tournaments inevitably end quickly because of all the other plot going on. (see also: Ed Brubaker and Matt Fraction's Immortal Iron Fist).

As always, I am consistently amazed by Lee's supreme confidence. Even just sitting on a couch with his legs…

Look, it’s important that I make this clear - at no point in this film does anyone ‘enter’ a dragon. In fact, there aren’t even any dragons in it, and certainly none getting sexed up by a shirtless John Saxon. While I’m not slating the film, if, like me, you picked this one up hoping to see some man on dragon loving, you’re going to be left disappointed by Enter the Dragon.

Still, what Enter the Dragon lacks in beast-humping it makes up for in elaborate violence. Bruce Lee plays against type, starring as a masterful martial artist who enters a fighting tournament to avenge the sort-of murder of his super-dead sister. He sets about beating everyone up, except for…

'Enter the Dragon'

The kick ass title of this 1973 breakthrough movie has just thing in mind; to introduce you to the Phenomenon that was Bruce Lee. Unfortunately before the film's release, Lee was dead aged just 32.

The little dragon from Hong Kong never got to experience the full impact his kinetic lead performance in Enter the Dragon would have; arguably becoming the World's most iconic action movie star of all time and the immediate and continuous explosion in martial arts used in cinema. Lee also became the catalyst for the evolution of pressure testing martial arts; his combative philosophy of Jeet Kune Do still influences the best martial artists, boxers, and UFC fighters around the World.

Essentially a…

This film feels very much like a Kung-Fu version of a James Bond minus the gadgets. I think that this is the most famous film out there when it comes to Kung-Fu and sadly it is the last Bruce Lee made that I know of. Out of all the Bruce Lee films, this one is my favorite and I am not sure if it is because it is the first one that I had seen of the kind or it is the first Bruce Lee film, but it has everything that a film should have and I think that is the reason why so many films since then have borrowed ideas from it or tried to spoof it because it…
