OtherGround Forums Enter the dragon

Interesting:

1. Steve McQueen, James Coburn and Chuck Norris were amongst the pallbearers at Bruce Lee’s funeral.

2. Bruce Lee had the ability to snatch a dime off a person’s open palm before they could close it, and leave a penny behind.

3. In 1962, Bruce lee landed 15 punches, a kick and knocked out his opponent in a fight that lasted only 11 seconds.

4. Bruce Lee’s kicks were so fast that while filming for one scene in Enter the Dragon, they had to re-film it in slow motion (34 frames) so that it wouldn’t appear fake.

5. Bruce Lee was a fan of The Great Gama, the only undefeated wrestler in the world. Great Gama’s career spanned 50 years. – S

pigpen - You think my wife would like it?

The question is why isn't she in the kitchen making you a sandwich while you watch this classic movie?

If she doesn't he is allowed by man law to divorce her and ask for the many years he wasted time back. Fact

I got Enter the Dragon on BluRay last year and time hasn't been kind to it.

My girlfriend kept asking if it was a spoof like Kung Pow...

I was going to say the fastest kick I have ever seen was against Mr. Han next to the display of other prosthetic hands. My friend would rewind it and play it over and over. I thought it was sped up or fake it was so fast.

"Gentlemen,welcome.You honor our island.I look forward to a tournament of truly epic proportions.We are unique,gentlemen,in that we create ourselves.Through long years of rigorous training,sacrifice,denial,pain,we forge our bodies in the fire of our will.But tonight,let us celebrate.Gentlemen,you have our gratitude."

Still the best Martial Arts movie ever made.

During the banquet, there is a random shot of a dude playing the chinese lute thing, and his eyes are darting back and forth. It's extremely suspicious. Perhaps Han was doping up the lute players as well as the women.

When Lee is sneaking through the "palace" the same area where the banquet was. and he in his little ballerina shoes and black lycra suit, nimbly moving along. And there is a guard with nunchaku. The actor who is playing the guard changes at least three times. I love it, one face, then another then another. Horrible continuity :(

When the hos are brought into each room. I forget which scene specifically, if its with williams, roper or lee. But one of the chicks is kind of off at an angle, half her face is in the shadows and shes giving the stink eye like shes gonna stab a muthafucka.

Then there is funny shit if you just concentrate on the background guy in all the tournament outside fight stuff. Like one dude smiling gleefully after lee knocks some dude out with three successive kicks to the same exact spot.

There's a list of funny stuff like the above that can be seen in the movie. Adds to the enjoyment. Lol

You can find some cool ones here.

Han's voice was dubbed by Keye Luke, who played Kato in the Green Hornet movie serials - just as Bruce Lee did in the Green Hornet TV series. Luke also played Master Po in the "Kung Fu" tv series, which was originally intended to star Lee. 

I hated the Roper character. John Saxon couldn't fight worth a damn and I was never convinced that he was a badass on the same level as Bruce and Jim Kelly. In fact I wish Roper had been the one to die instead of Williams.

If they were going to force feed us a white guy co-star it should have been someone legitimately tough like Robert Conrad from "The Wild, Wild West" tv show.

That's my pet peeve about an otherwise legendary movie.

The soundtrack to this is awesome.

My favorite is the racist cops:

"This jig has tickets to Hawaii!"

"This jig ain't going to Hawaii!"

ass kicking of cops begins.

William Smith should have played John Saxon's part.

 

Bruce Lee wanted him for the role of Roper, but the film he was in went over schedule and John Saxon had to fill in.

The kung fu series was never meant to star Lee. It was developed completely separate and never had anything to do with Lee. He was pitching a similar idea but the studio had already committed to kung fu
