Enter the Dragon is the fourth major film (and final completed film) in the career of martial arts legend Bruce Lee. It premiered in August 1973, one month after Lee's untimely death. Enter the Dragon was the first of Lee's movies to premiere in America and the first to be recorded in English.The film's story centers around Lee, a Shaolin monk and martial arts master, who is approached by Braithwaite (Geoffrey Weeks), a member of an international intelligence organization that wants Lee to become an undercover agent. The organization has been investigating a man named Han (Shih Kien), a former student of Lee's master, who lives in an island fortress and oversees a criminal empire that has its hands in kidnappings, drugs, and prostitution. Braithwaite's organization "know[s] everything, but can prove nothing", so they recruit a reluctant Lee to infiltrate Han's island during a martial arts tournament held there once every three years and gather evidence that will uncover his crimes. Other central characters of the film include fellow martial artist Williams (Jim Kelly), martial artist and unlucky gambler Roper (John Saxon), and another undercover agent named Mei Ling (Betty Chung). Though the heroes don't often cooperate with each other directly, they each individually work to uncover the secrets of Han's underground operation, risking the deadly penalties imposed by Han and his Made of Iron bodyguard O'Hara (Robert Wall).Enter the Dragon is still considered one of the finest martial arts films in history. Critics have often praised it for its ethnic equality, as it features heroes of European, African, and Asian descent. It also features Lee as a philosophical warrior, allowing him to tie in his own personal philosophies of martial arts by virtue of his personally rewriting the script to add dialogue at the opening Shaolin Temple scenes. Of course, the real beauty of the film is in the exquisite fight sequences showcasing Lee in his absolute prime alongside with an excellent supporting cast and stunt crew (including future martial arts stars Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan). See for yourself.

comment
Artistic License – Martial Arts: Lee takes a pair of nunchaku from a clueless mook and demonstrates how to really use them. Which is not how one really uses the nunchaku; it was just used to either strangle an enemy or go upside their head with it, like a western flail. All the fancy spinning and twirling was popularized by none other than Bruce Lee himself, who did it so spectacularly that everyone just assumed that's how you were supposed to use nunchaku. Presumably what he's doing is an intimidation tactic just to show off his skill. Many of the extras in the courtyard fighting scenes are wearing wristwatches. They would be banned at an actual martial arts contest for obvious safety reasons.

Simple Solution Won't Work
 Enter the Dragon / int_16dda55f
comment
Simple Solution Won't Work: During the briefing concerning Han, his secret island lair and the possibility he's using it as a drug lab, and the martial arts tournament Han has organized which he's being asked to use to infiltrate the island and find evidence, Lee asks Braithwaite why he cannot bring along a gun and maybe shoot Han when he's offered any equipment he wishes. Braithwaite immediately shoots it down by mentioning that Han's island is located right in the China/Hong Kong border which would make any gunfire that is not performed by the police a legal nightmare, plus Han is paranoid of people bringing guns to said island because of a Noodle Incident. So fists it is.note Lee's ticked-off reaction at hearing that explanation is partially Bruce Lee being actually angry at the fact he was hired to play a lead in a James Bond-copycat film but not allowed to use a gun.

Genre Savvy: When Han orders Roper to fight Lee to the death, Roper immediately declines. Not only does he have no personal beef with Lee, he has seen what Lee's capable of, and even if he is an unlucky gambler, he's clearly aware that a fight with Lee isn't a profitable bet. Instead, he does the smart thing and immediately teams up with Lee.

Ambiguous Situation
 Enter the Dragon / int_1f6983f7
comment
Ambiguous Situation: A lot of emotions cross Lee's face after stomping O'Hara to death, going slowly from anger to anguish (even looking at the verge of tears for a moment) before finally composing himself and turning to Han. Is Lee simply very emotional about having finally avenged his sister, perhaps suddenly remembering everything he lost? Is he momentarily shaken upon realizing that, righteously or not, he has just killed a man, likely for the first time? Or is it all at once?

Chekhov's Gun
 Enter the Dragon / int_22cf536c
comment
Chekhov's Gun: In one scene, Roper is taken through Mr. Han's museum, which includes a glass display case with several replacement weapon-hands. One of them, a metal claw, is used during the big fight with Lee in the end. In addition, during the big fight (which takes place in said museum room, acting as another Chekhov's Gun), Mr. Han tries throwing a spear at Lee, which goes through a wall and into the Hall of Mirrors beyond. The climax of the movie involves Lee kicking Han right into the spear and Impaling Him With Extreme Prejudice. Also, the advice that Bruce takes about "smashing the image" in order to defeat Han was itself a Chekhov's Lecture given by Bruce's master near the very beginning of the film.

Unknown Rival: Oddly enough, Han notices and confronts Williams and Roper before he ever meets the protagonist of the movie. This is in spite of the fact that Lee was sent there for the specific purpose of bringing the villain down while the two minor characters were at the tournament for unrelated reasons. Also O'Hara is killed by Lee without knowing that he is fighting the brother of Su Lin.

Guile Hero: Roper is a gambler who begins to purposefully lose a fight in order to swindle a spectator out of money and is upfront about the fact that he plans to trick Lee into losing money. Despite this, he is still seen as charming to both the audience and the other characters, in part because while he may want Lee's cash, he's nothing but respectful of Lee's talents and recognizes how much of a martial arts master Lee is. Lee codified this as part of his fighting style, "The Art of Fighting Without Fighting".

Curb-Stomp Battle
 Enter the Dragon / int_3d699462

Curb-Stomp Battle: Lee vs O'Hara. We're led to believe that O'Hara will put up a reasonable fight, being The Dragon and all. Instead, he doesn't even get the courtesy of getting a punch in (well, he gets a kick, but Lee is just too quick for him), being absolutely trashed in a variety of ways. Lee's fight with Han's minions in the drug factory counts as well. By the time Lee's captured, he's already mowed down at least a couple dozen of them. From the time the fight starts to the moment it ends, Lee takes down 50 people, most of them with one or two blows each. Williams beats Parsons in combat with little to no difficulty. Sadly, he gets pulverised by Han later.

Dropped a Bridge on Him
 Enter the Dragon / int_43a045de
comment
Dropped a Bridge on Him: O'Hara's death should be expected, as he is a villain and Lee wants revenge for his sister's death, but instead of dying in the climax as is usually the case in revenge plots, he kicks it midway through the movie in a pretty one-sided battle against Lee. Tania is killed offscreen and abruptly.

Tranquil Fury: Lee is chock full of this trope. When facing O'Hara, he doesn't break out the Funny Bruce Lee Noises until after O'Hara attacks with anger on the brain, and even then, he keeps his cool...until he kills him. Even when facing Han, Lee states his intentions in an eerily calm tone before proceeding with the fight:

Trope Codifier: Since this movie, almost every other work of martial arts tournament fiction has borrowed from Enter The Dragon, particularly its usage of the main hero seeking revenge against the Big Bad in a fighting tournament in a faraway exotic location full of colorful villains and other supporting heroes with their own personal motives for entering.

comment
Everybody Was Kung-Fu Fighting: The film ends with a massive kung fu battle. On one side you have Han's army of martial arts students, trained to kill mercilessly with their bare hands. On the other side you have... a bunch of vagrants and runaways, kidnapped from the streets of Hong Kong and freshly released from Han's dungeons. And Bruce Lee. The two sides appear to be about evenly matched, and somehow some of the men in vagrant uniform show kung fu moves too.

Shirtless Scene: Williams goes shirtless when he sneaks out of his room to exercise in the palace yard. Taking things to the next level, Lee forgoes a shirt for the rest of the movie after his first real brawl with Han's guards. But the grand prize goes to Bolo, who never puts on a shirt at all, lest anyone lose an opportunity to be intimidated by his physique.

Combat Pragmatist: When Roper is caught in an armbar, instead of using a martial arts technique to get out of it, he opts to simply bite his opponent's leg. (Humorously, any grappler knows that in real life this would only land you a broken arm rather than a hold escape.) Lee vs Han isn't a remotely fair fight going on physical prowess alone. Han has to use weapons and dirty tricks to keep up with Lee.

Trapped by Gambling Debts: Subverted. Roper has built up some sizable gambling debts, which Han tries to use to persuade him to become his agent in America. Roper, however, refuses to join him when Han tries to get him to fight Lee to the death. (The fact that Han had just killed Roper's friend Williams may have something to do with that, as well as the fact that while he's a degenerate gambler who isn't afraid to take some cash from a dumb mark, he has lines he won't cross.)

Yellow Peril: With the film having a large number of Asian characters, including the hero, one might see an Asian villain as to be expected and thus, an aversion. However, Mr. Han nonetheless draws on stereotypes from such Yellow Peril characters as Fu Manchu and Dr. No, including living on his own private island, having an underground lair, keeping harems of women, smuggling opium, kidnapping innocents, being fascinated with weaponry and martial arts, and possibly dabbling in black magic.

Pragmatic Villainy: Han being dead serious about the tournament rules and his admonishing of O'Hara's use of dirty tricks agains Lee during their fight may appear to be an example of Even Evil Has Standards at first, but on closer inspection, it's just a front for Han to make it a legitimate tournament for martial artists in order to lure them in there in the first place and, in his hopes, later recruit them, which he readily admits to Roper later on. It's especially noticeable when Han is no better than O'Hara when it comes to resorting to cheap tricks during his fight with Lee at the climax.

Grievous Bottley Harm: O'Hara is getting destroyed by Lee, and in frustration grabs a bottle from an on-looker and smashes it. (Goof here. In the scene where he actually breaks it, he ends up with a very tiny stem of the bottle in his hand, with very small jagged edges to act as a weapon. In the next scene cut, he is threatening Lee with a more visually appropriately broken bottle.) Of course, it still doesn't do him any good...

If You're So Evil, Eat This Kitten!: Han tests Roper's limits with a near-literal example of this.

Han used this situation to see if Roper had a line he would not cross; he shows Roper that the pull chain was just for a secret elevator, not the guillotine.

Bond Villain Stupidity: Han actually captures Lee at one point, after Lee has defeated dozens of guards and made his intentions to sabotage Han's operation all too clear. But unlike how he handled Williams, Han doesn't kill Lee immediately. Instead, he tries to get Roper to fight him to the death, apparently to set some kind of example (he calls it "edification") and also perhaps to test Roper's loyalty. However, Roper refuses (not really to Han's surprise) and chaos ultimately ensues. Chaos, of course, that Han could have easily prevented had he killed Lee (and Roper) when he had the chance.

Deuteragonist: Roper. He gets his own story arc with Han completely independent from Lee's, and a pretty solid dose of Character Development. Not to mention that their arcs meet in the finale, and Roper, who has no personal issue with Lee and clearly knows what he's capable of, doesn't even consider fighting Lee for even a second after Han orders him to, choosing instead to team up with Lee to take down Han's empire. John Saxon is billed right next to Bruce Lee in the opening credits, and it doesn't feel unjustified.

A Threesome Is Hot: The hostess of the island brings an assortment of girls around for each of the fighters to choose a companion for the night. Williams chooses four, and then apologizes to the rest for snubbing them because he's a little tired.

Left Hanging: Roper helps Lee save the day in the end, but after the dust has settled, he never got the money to settle his debt with the mob (which was the whole point of Roper entering the tournament to start with). As the story ends here, how Roper intends to solve this problem is left to the viewer's imagination.

Stating the Simple Solution: Lee proposes to Braithewaite that they just shoot Han, only for a hasty explanation that Han would never allow a gun to ever be brought to his home. Lee visibly rolls his eyes at this. This is because even though Bruce Lee was a martial arts master without equal at the time, he had absolutely no illusions on the firearms vs. martial arts debate and, playing a (sort of) secret agent in this movie, very much wanted to use one. But the producers nixed this idea, much to Bruce's annoyance.

Saying Sound Effects Out Loud: When Williams is being threatened in Han's office, Han calls in some guards to beat him up.

This isn't strictly in the movie, but in the novelization (and possibly in some out-takes somewhere), he beats up said guards with appropriate shouts, like "Bam" and "Kapow".

Nerves of Steel: Lee naturally. Roper and Williams also exhibit this trait, but Lee's definitely the one that shows it the most. Among his exploits, Lee slaps a cobra on the head just to piss it off so he can use it to scare the mooks out of the radio room. Then he enters the room with zero regard for the venomous snake he put in there, and while sending out the radio signal, makes an annoyed face and seems put out that he has to step on said snake to get it to leave him alone long enough to finish his message and leave. Then, he simply exits the room and leaves it to slither around Han's underground lair. After fighting a majority of Han's mooks underground, when Lee gets trapped in a room he can't escape from, he simply drapes his nun chucks around his neck, sits on the floor, and waits.

Same Language Dub: Shih Kien (Han) couldn't speak English, so he was dubbed by Keye Luke. Peter Archer (Parsons) was dubbed by another actor because the director didn't feel that his voice was "New Zealand" enough, though the dubbed voice sounded nothing like a New Zealander's accent. When the extended Cantonese/Mandarin versions were released for the first time in English in 1998, some extra dubbing had to be done, because no English dialogue existed at that time for those scenes. One of the scenes involved Roy Chiao (Shaolin Abbott) and Bruce Lee. Chiao was still alive (he died shortly thereafter), and was able to dub himself, but Lee's voice was supplied by his biographer John Little. Luckily, Lee's real voice was left alone for the scenes that originally used it.

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Any chance Han had of getting Roper to join his organization, if he actually had any chance to do so, evaporated the SECOND Roper saw that Han had murdered Williams. He has a hard time hiding his disgust for Han after seeing the body, and even then, likely only makes a token effort to hide it because he doesn't want to end up hung up there as well by giving the game away. Han seems to sense it too, but waits until Roper refuses to fight Lee for confirmation.

Oh, Crap!: Roper has three of them: one comical-yet-serious one when Han reveals his opium ring, one when he sees Williams' corpse (he slow motion mouths the words "Oh shit"), and a debatable third one when Han orders Roper to fight Lee. In the first two cases, Roper may be a con artist, but he draws the line at murder and drug trafficking; in the last, he has seen what Lee is capable of and doesn't want to mess with him. Also, he has no reason to fight Lee himself, as they certainly aren't enemies, and he's certainly, at that point, not going to do ANYTHING Han asks him to do, after what Han did to Williams. And then there are the two villains in the radio room when Lee unleashes a venomous snake. They waste little time in getting the hell out.

The Ace: Lee is leagues above nearly every other martial artist in the tournament. Only Han is able to even contest him through dirty fighting and the use of weapons, and Han himself was leagues above everyone else. Every other fight Lee gets into is a Curb-Stomp Battle, and one of the more pivotal action scenes in the film is him kicking the asses of a small army. He's also shown to be clever, down-to-earth, spiritual yet streetwise, no stranger to bloodshed, and unshakably moral.

Roper is a gambler who begins to purposefully lose a fight in order to swindle a spectator out of money and is upfront about the fact that he plans to trick Lee into losing money. Despite this, he is still seen as charming to both the audience and the other characters, in part because while he may want Lee's cash, he's nothing but respectful of Lee's talents and recognizes how much of a martial arts master Lee is.

Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?
 Enter the Dragon / int_bce16d24
comment
Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: Lee brings this up right away, but he's visibly disappointed by the answer (guns aren't allowed on Han's island). Off-screen, Bruce Lee was excited about playing a sort-of secret agent in this movie because he very much wanted to use a gun in at least one scene. Thanks to the film's producers nixing this idea, the annoyance Lee portrays on-camera is real.

Unsurprisingly, this comes back to bite Han badly.

Shout-Out: One scene shows Lee dealing with an arrogant fellow contestant who wants a fight. Lee says the ship is too cramped for a duel, so they should take one of the lifeboats to a nearby island and settle things there. As soon as the other guy gets in, Lee kicks the lifeboat down and lets the poor schmuck get dragged behind the boat. This is a direct reference to Tsukahara Bokuden, who is believed to have done the same thing once. Roper makes one to Laurel and Hardy.

 Enter the Dragon / int_f8e010ce
comment
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Han will beat your best friend to death and then show you his corpse, not out of sadism but because he wants you to join him and would rather you be fully aware of the depravities you'll be party to as his ally. Needless to say, Roper doesn't go for it.

Loan Shark: Roper's mob creditors are of this ilk, unsurprisingly. When they try to tell him about the "interest" they're charging on his debt, it doesn't take long for things to get violent.
