Enter the Dragon [Blu-ray]

even better in hd dvd. i have seen this movie many times in all formats, at the theater at least 10 times when i was young. this havs to be the best version i have seen

Blown away by the quality considering this was filmed about 30 some years ago.Good information about Bruce Lee and his life. Must have for Blue-ray collection. Lots of bonus material

this is the best movie of bruce lee, where he shows something about his philosophy about fighting, and the documentals are very interesting, its almost unreal the things he did,

This HD DVD looks so much better then the standard DVD version it's pretty impressive. Most of the movie is remastered in HD, but there are certain shots that look quite blurry. There are only a few blurry shots though. When the police drive up to hassle Jim Kelly I noticed a very blurry shot, but it was brief.

Most of the movie is outstanding. Some of the close ups showed the pores in the skin of the actors. The detail of the good shots is outstanding. More than half of this movie looks as good as HD cable. I gave it five stars because it's from the early 1970s and I didn't expect to get a cutting-edge image throughout the entire film.

Every so often a genius of kinesthetic flow arrives in the world; Enter the Dragon is an opportunity to witness first hand the phenominal ability of Li Jun Fan (Bruce Lee) at the very top of his craft. I feel safe in saying that there is no other martial artist put on film that has such dynamic presence and amazing focus as Lee; and Enter the Dragon captures this intensity like no other film.

This film is the first in many ways. Not only the first Chinese/American team up of a martial arts film, it is the very first true martial arts picture ever to be filmed in English. Martial arts star Sammo Hung is highlighted in the first five minutes of the film (first time I believe) and there is even a bit part for an extremely young Jackie Chan (watch closely) as the recipient of Lee's "fists of fury". Starring Bruce Lee, John Saxon and new-comer Jim Kelly, Lee plays a Shaolin monk that is convinced by British Authorities (at the time Governing Hong Kong) to infiltrate an island via a martial arts tournament run by a rogue Shaolin monk named Han (Played by Shih Kien). The government wants Lee to infiltrate the tournament and contact them with information of Han's activities.

The film is laced with Lee's Zen philosophy of life. He uses martial arts as a metaphor for all of life and a vehicle in which to understand all of life's big questions. This film is Lee's final masterpiece as the Little Dragon died 6 days before the US release of Enter the Dragon. This film is a testament to an amazing human being that managed to bridge the gap between East and West. A must see for anyone interested in Martial Arts or Eastern thought.
