ENTER THE DRAGON UHD

I am one of these people who likes old things, I still use a Video recorder and still have many old VHS tapes. I have all the Bruce Lee films on Video. The picture and sound quality in my opinion is fantastic, although I admit whilst it is a good movie, again in my opinion the mouth dubbing sometimes is not quite right but I bought it for the karate scenes, in my opinion Bruce was the true master

I was familiar with Bruce Lee as an icon and had heard that he had made a significant impact in martial arts but I never really knew much about him. I purchased this film to become acquainted with the legend and it's brilliant value for money. The film itself is good but I actually enjoyed the special features more. There are numerous documentaries on the two discs which cover the making of 'enter the dragon', Bruce Lee in his own words and footage of Bruce working out alongside commentary from family and friends. As you will discover for yourself, the guy was absolutely amazing and it's a tragedy that he died at such a young age. Not only did he have incredible physical strength and martial arts ability, he was also very intelligent and read widely. His personal library consists of hundreds of books and he went to university, which I was completely unaware of. The talent that the man possessed is awe-inspiring and he has definitely inspired me to try and live a more productive life. It's very rare that I take the time to watch the special features on dvds as I prefer to just watch the films but the knowledge and inspiration you will garner from the features on this dvd, is priceless. The first thought that came to my mind after watching both discs was 'I cannot believe this only cost me about £4.'

What a wonderful edition to celebrate the 50 year anniversary of this film ! As a teenager in the seventies and like many others I was able to witness the impact this film had on the world and marvel at the display of skill, finesse, talent, grace and the sheer power of Bruce Lee. The very first thing we see is the old Warner's logo hurtling towards us the audience.Then the picture zoomd towards Lee wearing virtually nothing bar a pair of briefs. We are all used to it now but back then it was like nothing any of us in the west bar Hong kong plus Chinese Cinema had ever seen.seen This blu/ray highlights all the action beautifully and is packed with extras some of which I have already seen and one or two I havn't. So, I started with a basic video in the eighties, moved to dvds and now have blu ray. In each case, what has stayed the same and remains amazing are the fight scenes choreographed by Lee himself and, in addition, the immense contribution made by the supporting cast to say nothing of the way it was all skillfully directed by Robert Clouse. It has been said that the storyline resembles that of Dr No and I would agree with that. However, as the film progresses the attention moves away from the basic storyline because the visuals take over. That is not to say that we are fed meaningless action but rather dazzling displays of all sorts of martial arts that are truly stunning ! On a personal level it has been a massive favourite in my family with my brothers becoming faithful admirers from the seventies onwards; now, their children are also enjoying it and becoming fans themselves. The word classic when describing a film is often misused but in this case it is fully justified and for me is all about the spirit that is Bruce Lee !

A fantastic transfer to 4k of a classic film. The visual and audio have been restored to perfection. It's hard to believe that this film is 50 years old It's still stands the test of time. I have watched this film numerous times over the years but never with such glorious visuals and sound. I don't really bother doing reviews but this release was worthy of my time. This 4k restoration will reinvent the legend of Bruce Lee to a new generation.

This 2023 4K release of Bruce Lee’s 1973 classic movie is a lazy effort by Warner Bros. The Good: 1. This is Bruce Lee at the peak of his powers so everyone needs this movie in their collection in some form. 2. This version includes the original theatrical cut as well as the common extended cut; 3. It is uncensored; 4. The 4K restoration provides an uptick in picture quality. I noticed things watching this version that I never had before, such as the cut to Bruce’s finger in some shots (caused by an accident on set); 5. Strong audio options: this version rocks in surround sound! The Bad: 1. The 4k upgrade is uneven. Outdoor scenes (particularly as the junk sets sail from the harbour) are noticeably improved whilst other scenes show negligible improvement over previous releases; 2. The extras are exactly the same as the ones Warner Bros have been churning out on previous DVD and blu-ray releases for the last 20 years. Bottom Line: If you don’t have this movie in your collection, buy this 4k release. If you’ve already got it, this version will provide a slight but noticeable upgrade in picture quality. Overall, as a big Bruce Lee fan, this release is a disappointment. It is common knowledge that there are deleted scenes for Enter the Dragon (some appearing in other movies) and also outtakes (just check out youtube), yet Warner Bros have made no effort whatsoever to dip into their vaults and make this release worthwhile. Just last month, Arrow Films released a 4k boxset of Bruce’s other films. It is absolutely terrific, with better 4k restorations and some jaw-dropping extras including footage from Big Boss and Game of Death that has been lost for the last 50 years. My recommendation: Buy the Arrow boxset “Bruce Lee at Golden Harvest”. (it includes Enter the Dragon, albeit not in 4k) and hope that Arrow get the rights in future to give Enter the Dragon the release it deserves.

Excellent film picture & sound quality. Bruce Lee unsurpassable, a legend, never will be forgotten🥋

Bruce Lee, at his finest!

I am not much in to doing this kind of a review thing, people have different tastes in films and everything else so my taste may differ from others but in relation to this film I feel it is the best martial arts film ever made and that I feel is solely due to Bruce Lee. There is more to this film than it just being a brilliant film, Bruce Lee was more than just an actor, in many films before Bruce Lee came along Chinese people and many others were not portrayed as equal in films be it due to ability or anything else so outside of China you never really saw any Chinese classed as stars, I am not going to go in to any long speech about race and equality or anything else but I feel Bruce Lee was not prepared to accept how some were portrayed in many films and he showed that ability and greatness had nothing to do with race or where you came from and that people should be judged solely on there ability and the way they are. Sadly Bruce did not survive to truly see what he had achieved but hopefully the film world can continue to get closer to making great films with great actors who are judged on there ability.
