The last film completed by Bruce Lee before his untimely death, Enter the Dragon was his entrée into Hollywood. The American-Hong Kong coproduction, shot in Asia by American director Robert Clouse, stars Lee as a British agent sent to infiltrate the criminal empire of bloodthirsty Asian crime lord Han (Shih Kien) through his annual international martial arts tournament. Lee spends his days taking on tournament combatants and nights breaking into the heavily guarded underground fortress, kicking the living tar out of anyone who stands in his way. The mix of kung fu fighting (choreographed by Lee himself) and James Bond intrigue (the plot has more than a passing resemblance to Dr. No) is pulpy by any standard, but the generous budget and talented cast of world-class martial artists puts this film in a category well above Lee's primitive Hong Kong productions. Unfortunately he's off the screen for large chunks of time as American maverick competitors (and champion martial artists) John Saxon and Jim Kelly take center stage, but once the fighting starts Lee takes over. The tournament setting provides an ample display of martial arts mastery of many styles and climaxes with a huge free-for-all, but the highlight is Lee's brutal one-on-one with the claw-fisted Han in the dynamic hall-of-mirrors battle. Lee narrows his eyes and tenses into a wiry force of sinew, speed, and ruthless determination. --Sean Axmaker

Summary: Martial Arts Classic Remastered (for the most part)
Comment: This HD DVD looks so much better then the standard DVD version it's pretty impressive. Most of the movie is remastered in HD, but there are certain shots that look quite blurry. There are only a few blurry shots though. When the police drive up to hassle Jim Kelly I noticed a very blurry shot, but it was brief.
Most of the movie is outstanding. Some of the close ups showed the pores in the skin of the actors. The detail of the good shots is outstanding. More than half of this movie looks as good as HD cable. I gave it five stars because it's from the early 1970s and I didn't expect to get a cutting-edge image throughout the entire film.

Summary: Betta Bruce
Comment: What can I say when it comes to Bruce Lee! Any chance to see him more clearly should be taken and HD does it nicely; I could catch blemished on is skin and all those somewhat blurred close ups come to life. Still can't quite catch the path of his blows on slow mo, but somehow HD really makes a difference.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Awesome action flick, Great HD Treatment
Comment: Bruce Lee would have been proud of this HD treatment. Buy it and enjoy the single greatist martial artist in history.
