Very disappointing...

Absolutely Fantastic

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

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.

Enter the Dragon, a pioneer of modern kung-fu films, mixes Asian culture with tradition North American tropes to create an exciting blend of action and culture. I love kung-fu movies, and knowing that this film was the forefather of many made it that much more enjoyable to watch. The action is still crisp and snappy, although the audio is outdated and out of sync with the video at many parts. It was fascinating to watch kung-fu legend, Bruce Lee, mix with funky basslines and American characters. I think Williams was killed as Han did not consider him valuable enough to spare, like he did for Roper. I think his death also served to be a "look how bad the bad guy is". Many newer films adapt Enter the Dragon's mirror room fight scene, a notable example being John Wick 2. The movie incorporates elements from James Bond, such as the suave music and infiltration plot. Enter the Dragon is a fun action movie with a diverse cast, and certainly worth your time.

1/2.This was worth watching because of the potential it shows in adr. It also inspired me to not have an excuse when having a low budget on a film because this film did have a very low budget and strived for excellence ! 3. Being honest I believe it hasn't aged very well but considering it was made in the 70s and is still being watched today is very impressive. 4. I believe roper was killed instead of Williams because roper was very suspicious of Han and Han knew that Williams was kind of digging his nose in his business. So when Han found out that someone was out late snooping around he accused roper and that's when everything went down hill. 5. John Wick chapter 2 did, as it was a similar assassin aspect. 6. Action films these days steal this type of audience making the audience just want to watch eye candy rather than watching an action film for the story.

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.
