Heh, well for me it's certainly one of the lesser Bruce lee films.
I know plot isn't vital in most martial arts films, but Bruce lees films were generally solid in the story department. Fist of Fury is a film that I feel has real emotional weight for instance. Enter the dragon has none of that though, it's has an extremely silly and somewhat boring plot. A guy is asked to play James bond and go undercover in a martial arts tournament... And well that's it really, its a very daft and almost non existant plot that is just there to set the stage for Bruce lee fighting people. Now that itself would be fine if the fights were any good, but I don't think they are, they short and boringly choreographed bouts that amount to little more than a series of idiotic looking people prancing about and posing alot.
Its actually quite a boring film, ive read numerous reviews praising it over the years, i know its well respected, but no one ever seems to do a good job of explaining why they like it, its like they Dont really know. I find that quite odd and all i know is that I much prefer almost all his other films.
