Enter the Dragon (Blu-ray)
Over three decades following his untimely death, Bruce Lee remains the movies' supreme martial arts star. His masterful final film, Enter The Dragon, stands the test of time as the most beloved martial arts epic in film history. This box office hit takes Lee to the island fortress of criminal warlord Han, whose martial arts academy covers up opium smuggling and prostitution activities. To avenge the death of his sister, Lee infiltrates the stronghold and enters Han's brutal tournament-a breathtaking visual feast of competitions fusing skills in karate, judo, tae kwon do, tai chi chuan and hapkido, staged by Lee himself. What a kick!

Excellent epic martial arts film - Silverthorn
This movie put Bruce Lee and made him famous. This movie is a classic action film that most people interested in that genre should watch.
It is a movie that you can watch over and over again. The music is performed by Lalo Schifrin, a classic composer. It is a pretty good martial arts movie where Bruce and others are brought to some island where they face off in competition with each other.
There is some corruption and people are killed along the way. You will see a triumphant battle between good vs evil and experience a classic film!

The scenario is simple. A martial arts tournament. A remote island. The host, Han, a renegade Shaolin. His tournament? A cover for recruiting muscle to a cynical and cruel drug business. To expose Han, a CIA-like agency recruits a good Shaolin played by Bruce Lee. With the tournament as cover, he is to get on the island and look for incriminating evidence. Visiting his father before leaving, Lee suddenly discovers Han’s right-hand man had victimized his own family. His sister chose suicide rather than suffer a humiliating rape by his thugs. Now, our hero has a burning personal motive to fight Han. Yet violent revenge would dishonor the dead sister’s code. Can our hero keep his own violence within the rules? Or just for self defence? Or will the all-too human desire for justice reduce him to becoming an outlaw to the code? One no better than Han?
Bang! As our attention is glued left, the great fighter delivers a subtle knock-out from the right. The movie’s power is not in story, or style. And that is also the wrong place to look when evaluating this movie.
