Enter the Dragon - Limited Edition Collector's Set

Amazon.com

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

Greatest Martial Arts Film Ever Made.... Still.......2006-10-25

This movie started the martial arts film explosion in the US. Bruce Lee's skills were far above any other martial artist that followed him. It was various derivations from his original ideas for most things that happened later in the martial arts in America. Quoting Dana White of the UFC "Bruce started MMA (Mixed Martial Arts)." Years before it was figured out. First to teach non-chinese kung fu in the US. First to use real martial artist as villians in fight films. First to do a arm-bar to end a fight on film in the Shaolin Temple no less in this movie! (20 years before UFC.) It was his original idea later turned into the popular television show Kung-Fu.
Anyway, this movie was easily his best film and was his launching pad to post humorous super stardom in the US.

Great movie, awesome action.......2003-10-10

Lots of martial arts. Theres a tournament, so of course there's going to be alot. Basically though there is one thing that makes it so awesome. Bruce Lee. He is so cool. Tons of people get killed.

The plot is he is a secret agent, britain or something. He goes in to find out why people have been dieing, like girls have been getting killed or something. The real cool thing is that Bruce Lee isn't up against a huge dude who can beat him in one punch. Noone can even compare to Bruce Lee and his fighting.

The action is plentiful, some comedy too. Like, "Wheres your uniform?" Anyways, I love the movie, and the special eddition is cool.

The action rules! He kicked that one guy so hard, you had to be there! to like believe it.
Overall--->5 Stars

Plain and Simple.......2003-02-25

This is the best, hands down, martial arts flick ever. Phh, best movie ever. Bruce Lee is and was the man.

a good buy for the martial arts fan.......2002-12-04

The best movie that Bruce Lee every made, and even includes scenes that were cut from the original when the movie was first shown. Is still a classic in the martial arts realm, but is a good movie for anybody to watch.
Has a good plot, action, and good writing that would have made a hit in the movie theatres today.
With your purchase, you will receive a CD with music tracks from the movie, the DVD movie itself, with trailers and a short interview with Linda Lee Cadwell, his wife, some posters from the movie, and a movie still from the movie itself in a special frame.
Is a great gift for the martial arts fan.

Brilliant.......2001-09-12

After buying this collectors edition set i feel i have spent my money very wisely.The DVD itself has a great interview with Bruce Lee which I had only seen brief clips of before and it was very imformative.The film itself,again as you all know is one of Bruce Lee's best,only slight draw back is that it is a double sided DVD but this you can put up with.The extras inside the box are great,the book on Enter The Dragon was again very imformative also the pictures,postcards etc were all very done.
