Enter the Dragon (1973)

It’s ironic that Bruce’s masterpiece is an English language film. It was also his last ever film because he tragically died less than a week before it was released. Honour his memory by watching the restored version that reinserts the more spiritual moments the studio cut.
The film is iconic in every way. The combat is superb. Lee’s composure is majestic. The finale is mind-blowing. Lalo Schifrin’s funky score oozes 70’s charm from every brass parp and perfectly timed woodblock tap.
