Enter the Dragon (1973)
This was Bruce Lee's final screen appearance which he contributed both to the screenplay and the fight sequences. A Shaolin martial artist goes to a fight contest to infiltrate the bad guys operation and avenge the death of his sister.
When it comes to a film like this it is clear the main draw is Lee's unique fighting ability and athleticism but the problem here is that none of the other characters can keep up so the fight sequences are unimpressive, especially compared to say the face off between Lee and Chuck Norris in Way of the Dragon (1972). When it comes to the plot what you have is essentially a James Bond lite plot that audiences are over familiar with by this point. If you keep your eyes peeled you can spot an early screen appearance as a henchman from Jackie Chan.
3/5
