The notorious renegade monk and under world figure Mr. Han,
Shek Kin, holds every ten years a tournament of martial arts on his island. This time Mr. Lee, Bruce Lee, is requested to enter the tournament and operate for an elite syndicate who wants to know more about Han's drug running operation. Lee accepts the assignment, but has in fact his own secret reason for doing this. His sister, Angela Mao, was killed by Han's right hand man O`Hara, played by Bob Wall. When Lee arrives to the island, he soon discovers the horrors that the island holds and wages a one man war upon Han and his huge army of martial arts experts.
Enter The Dragon became Bruce Lee's final film. He died the same year the film was distributed, 1973. He never saw the final cut of the film.
Being certainly the most widely seen martial art movie, and according
to some, the best martial art movie ever, it sure makes the most of
Lee's charismatic presence.
It has all the great stuff a good Kung Fu movie should have. Superb music (by Lalo Schifrin), cinematography, acting and of course great Kung Fu Action.
A true classic.
