Bruce Lee’s most famous film was remastered for the Enter the Dragon 40th Anniversary Ultimate Collector’s Edition Giftset.
The 1973 movie helped bring interest in Asian martial arts to mainstream Western cinema. It also shot Lee to superstardom posthumously, as he died suddenly from a cerebral edema less than a month before the U.S. premiere of the film. Lee was also known for his role as sidekick Kato in TV show The Green Hornet, bu it was Enter the Dragon that made him a household name.
In the action movie, Lee’s recruited by an intelligence agency, then uncovers the evil Han’s (Kien Shih) white slavery and drug trafficking ring on a secret island stronghold. Along with martial arts champions Roper (John Saxon) and Williams (Jim Kelly), Lee infiltrates the fortress and enters Han’s brutal tournament, a now classic fight-t0-the-death battle that was staged by Lee himself.
Enter the Dragon has been on high-definition Blu-ray for a while, but the 40th Anniversary Ultimate Collector’s Edition Giftset has new bonus features as well as memorabilia. The new extras in the set are:
