CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
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.
paulamenezes It was worth to watch this movie because it's very interesting how the movies were produced in the last few years and to see how the movie industry evolved in 44 years. I think that this movie aged well because it still inspire a lot of others action movies, even that you can see that some actions and blood re fake. I think because Roger was outside and the man thought that Roger killed the guys that worked for him. A movie that pay homage for Enter the Dragon is Kill Bill, produced by Tarantino, because you can see that the way that the actions were made are very similar to the movie Enter the Dragon. Enter the Dragon stole a lot of recognizable details from popular 007 film franchise.
liamsroberts In the early 1970s action movies haven't fully given the punch they wanted to give, until Enter the Dragon came out. Enter the Dragon is about a martial artist, Lee, who is sent to an isolated island as a tournament member to spy on a crime lord, Han. He meets Williams and Roper while he is there. This film is a great film to watch with your friends and popcorn and the action scenes have aged very well, although some of the sound effects are very cheesy but it fits with the tone of the movie. One thing I liked about this movie is that it killed off one of the main characters, Williams. He is killed because Han thought he was roaming around at night finding secrets, but it was actually Lee that was doing that. This movie has a notorious scene. The final battle between Han and Lee in the room filled with mirrors. Many films like John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017) and The Guest (2014) have taken that scene to use as a climactic fight scene. This movie also takes some stuff from James Bond, from the way it looks and the way it sounds. It has an isolated island with a secret lair deep inside it and the villain has some sort of dismemberment. The score of the movie is also very similar, with a lot of bass and very slow. Overall, this movie is worth your time. If you want to see a fun action movie, check out Enter the Dragon.
mattjseed I haven't seen a lot of kung-fu movies but I think that's part of the beauty in Enter the Dragon. You don't need a deep understanding of the genre to appreciate it. I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes action movies. I think it was certainly worth my time mainly because of the acting and the not paper-thin plot that a lot of movies like this seem to have. Williams died instead of roper, in my personal opinion because he was the more disrespectful of the two and the fact that Han saw him less as a business partner like roper but as someone who flaunts the rules. This is because Williams is seen outside during the curfew and refuses to "rat" out Lee after seeing him outside. While Roper is a betting business man. Later movies like Karate kid pay homage with the tournament setting for the movie with the evil martial artist who disgraced the main character's martial art establishment or the art itself. This movie does almost shameless homage to earlier spy movies like James Bond with the music in some segments and the evil villain vibe Han gives off. In addition there is the master he has and underground lair that is very much like an old bond movie.
