James C Dragon | Enter the Dragon — Review of Famous Martial Arts Movies
James C Dragon | “Enter the Dragon” is the last discharged motion picture of Bruce Lee before his grievous passing. Bruce Lee is perceived far and wide as a definitive example of the old Oriental artistic expression of self-preservation, which was a mix of the best methods from Karate, Judo, Hapkido, Tai-Chih and Kung-Fu.
Bruce Lee endured a lamentable, less than ideal and secretive passing on July twentieth, only a couple of days after he completed “Enter the Dragon”. He had finished very nearly 6 motion pictures in view of combative techniques previously his passing. “Enter the Dragon” was co-delivered by Warner Bros. alongside Raymond Chow from China. Fred Weintraub and Paul Heller were the makers for Warner Bros. “Enter the Dragon” was coordinated by Robert Clouse and Michael Allin was in charge of the screenplay. The cast included Bruce Lee Williams, John Saxon Williams, Jim Kelly Han, Shih Kien Oharra, Bob Wall Tania, Ahna Capri Su-Lin and Peter Archer among others.
James C Dragon | The motion picture is a tremendous show of Oriental legacy and culture, as the greater part of the film was shot in the Orient. This 98 minute great was loaded with experts drawing in against each other in the show of the fierce work of art. “Enter the Dragon” depicts Lee as a best of-the-score mystery operator and a previous master in blended combative techniques. He is given the activity of partaking on a wicked hand to hand fighting rivalry keeping in mind the end goal to explore the asserted criminal exercises being carried on by the host of this severe competition (Shih Kien).
Nothing is surprising about the movie as we are habituated to see Bruce Lee playing the role of the ultimate savior. However, if we look from the Oriental art of combat point of view, there is enough excitement and surprise to lure the martial-arts-frenzy-audience. Lee is as usual brilliant in his performance. One look at his style and you will realize why he is still considered as the God of martial arts. John Saxon Williams, who plays the role of an American participant, is amazingly subtle when it came to pulling-off surprising stunts.
James C Dragon | The rest of the cast was brilliant and played their part with aplomb to make this movie a huge success. Special mention has to be made of Jim Kelly, another American taking part in the competition organized by Shih Kien. He delivers a power-packed performance especially in the scene where is fights to the end against Lee. Bob Wall and Yang Sze provide good support in their roles as masters of the art. Ahna Capri and Betty Chung are good in their small roles while Angela Mao Ying displays her Hapkido skills when she confronts a group of Kien’s henchmen.
Michael Allin’s script was justified by Robert Clouse and his amazing directional skills. The result was an amazingly fast-paced action flick that was quite rare during the 70s.
