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 💪🎥
What is there to say , its Enter the Dragon with bruce Lee !
Not a great movie. The writing is awkward. The pacing is jilted with many flashbacks to unnecessarily explain each person's motivations for going to Han's island. There's a kind of sexism with the women in the film either being a stand-in sex worker, or being a fridged revenge plot point. BUT despite its 70's, bell-bottoms "cool" style, the true triumph of the movie is that it introduced a real Asian American to America. He not only used his real voice, Chinese accent and all, but he was also this bad ass, take-no-crap, martial arts super-hero the likes no one had seen before. This wasn't Kato, the sidekick to a white guy, or Mickey Rooney projecting a stereotype like in Breakfast at Tiffany's. This was Bruce Lee portraying himself how he wanted to be portrayed. Unfortunately, it could be argued, taking on such a role (and becoming a role-model) is what eventually got him killed. He overtrained, went too high, flew too close to the sun. But for an impressionable young Asian American such as myself, seeing Bruce Lee send people flying with his kicks and punches was nothing short of a heroic feat, not just for himself but for all Asian Americans in this country.
This is where it happened before he passed away.
Image quality and sound are great, has two versions of the film and some nice extras.I wish it included a 1080 Blu Ray, but this is great.
