Despite having starred in only five movies before his untimely and mysterious death, at age 32, Lee revolutionized the action genre with his unique martial-arts style. His comedic grace would later influence Jackie Chan, and the brutal Sonny Chiba almost certainly picked up his bloodthirsty glare from Lee.
Bruce Lee is recruited by the British to aid in bringing down the opium empire of the vil Han, ruler of an island empire located outside of the government's normal jurisdictions. As it turns out, Han is also a renegade Shaolin monk from Lee's temple and Lee's sister's suicide was caused by one of Han's aides. With all this motivation Lee agrees to enter the annual martial arts tournament held on Han's island. There he teams up with two americans (yes you guessed it, John and Jim) to bring down the Han man.
Enter the dragon is draped in pure 1970s kitsch, complete with leisure suits and an incredible soundtrack by lalo Schifrin who always seem to deliver the good stuff. A definitive all-time crowd pleaser.
