8/10
The unbeaten (and only) high quality masterpiece of the genre.
8 July 2001
Even this genre, so understimated by the reviewers (although fun, often), has a milestone.

But this is a particular situation: "Enter the Dragon" is probably far better than any other movie of this class, old or modern, edited until now.

Let's see why: on the first side, Lee, Saxon and Kelly performances are excellent - this characters are enjoying, and the public likes it.

On the second side, the combat scenes has something, like a taste of realism, thrilling and suspance, that make them exclusive, never emulated so far; this thanks to the coreographies, edited by Bruce Lee himself. But there is some other things to say: we all know Lee is an excellent athlete in martial arts (and in this movie he exceed himself, with outstanding performances): but the surprising thing is that both Kelly and Saxon was trained incredibly well for this movie; particularly John Saxon performs at the end of the movie some combat scenes that are at least exciting!! And, finally, the movie is really intriguing, that is probably the most important thing when you choose to watch a good movie.

Definitely, this movie has created a genre and simultaneously has concluded it.
