Enter the Dragon film review
The film Enter the Dragon is a fantastic example of an action/ adventure story. It has all sorts of tropes that make it into the movie. It has an evil drug dealer who runs the island that Bruce Lee has to defeat. There was a slow statrty at first after introducing Lee's character in the movie to introduce the other characters in the film. There is a tournament in which Lee will find evidence of drug dealing where he fights many opponents as become alllies with a man named Roper who tries to win the tournament. There is a giant subordinate to the ruler Han named Bolo who is a cruel dispatcher of his enemies. There are many great parts such as the well choreographed fights made by Bruce Lee himself and the dialogue as well as the viewpoints of the philosophy of Jeet Kune Do. The scenes where the ruler makes his presence known by the women who are owned by him and the rich amount of resources and the entertainment that he can afford. The last fight scene between all of the people of the island is very epic because it shows Lee and Roper take on antire army of Karate fighters and you can see the sheer speed, agility and strength of Bruce Lee and Roper's great techniques. When Han finally shows up to fight Lee and they take their fight to Han's throne room, you can see the great epuic fight that emerges with Lee victorious and Han's forces completely defeated while the military comes to arrest the rest of the villains on the island. This film honestly is the example of an action/adventure film that has everyone tries to make.
