I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Very good, I've watched this movie about twenty times and I'll watch even more. People do not understand how much Bruce Lee is important, there is no other Bruce Lee and there probably never was another Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan could not get even close. This movie changed the world is a must for all movie lovers.
This kind of feels like a porno. A porno has a thin storyline designed to justify all the sex scenes. Likewise, this film has a moronic and nonsensical plot designed as an excuse to shove in fight scenes. You know, I won't even go into the stupidity of this film, and I will just say that maybe a person with a gun could kill all these idiots who fight using nothing but their fists. But hey, for some reason no one in these films ever uses guns, so they have to fight for an eternity. I was not impressed by the action at all. It is pretty dull and often involuntarily funny. I guess low-IQ teenagers might find this enjoyable. Most others won't.
I think that this film was definitely worth time watching even though it was an older film. Even though some of the sounds for the fighting scenes were pretty generic the action in the movie was great. It's story line was good but pretty stereotypical of a kung fu action movie but it would seem less stereotypical seeing the movie at the time when it came out. I think they killed Williams instead of roper because there was still prejudice against black people at that time and it would most likely settle better with the audience of that time having the black guy die rather than the white one. Even in many modern day movies and TV shows the black guy ends up getting killed off, such as in the walking dead. I think the film has aged pretty well since it has a good story line and the action although dated still is exciting. Although the picture and sound quality isn't up to par with most of today's movies there are some scenes in the movie that i very much liked such as the mirror room fight scene. Most kung fu films takes after many aspects of this film since it was the first of it's kind such as Kill Bill and many films featuring Jackie Chan. This movie steals a lot from James Bond even with the music that sounds extremely similar to that which is from the James Bond movie series. They also stole the much of the basic story line of James Bond films with the one bad guy and the good guy has to take him down in a spy like manner.
In my opinion this movie is worth watching. It is very interesting to watch old movies. They are filmed and produced differently than the movies that are coming out today. Williams was killed instead of Roper because Williams was involved in things that he had no reason to worry about. It added to the movie to kill him off. John Wick 2 and Kill Bill pay homage to Enter the Dragon. A film that steal from Enter the Dragon. This movie stole from the James Bond movies. It stole the sound effects and the action. Overall, I think this movie was interesting but I don't think I would have watched it on my own.
