Advantages: Action packed, One of a kind

Disadvantages: Poor Dubbing

Enter Dragon is, arguably, the finest martial arts film ever written. A rarity amongst this genre, Enter the Dragon has a very good plot indeed (recently copied by the abysmal Hollywood 'effort' Mortal Kombat in a vain attempt to cash in).

The plot revolves around Bruce Lee (Shaolin Monk and Juet Kune Do master) who enters a shadowy and insidious martial arts tournament to wreck revenge against the people responsible for murdering his sister. The plot has a number of twists and turns, revolving around a impressively afro'd beatnik and a failed gambler, who must also enter the tournament for their own dubious reasons.

Despite some poor dubbing, this is such a colourful and action packed film, it's frankly, quite stunning. The martial arts sequences are ~incredible~, I cannot emphasise this enough. The setting of the film, Han's island, is glorious, and the amount of effort gone into staging the intense fighting sequences are staggering. I have never before seen a martial arts film of this magnitude, and with the untimely death of Bruce Lee, it is unlikely I ever will again. Unmissable.
