Critics Consensus

Badass to the max, Enter the Dragon is the ultimate kung-fu movie and a fitting (if untimely) Bruce Lee swan song.

Kevin Maher Times (UK) And yet when the fisticuffs eventually arrive — on a James Bond-style island where an evil crime lord is hosting an international kung fu-themed tournament of death — they’re impossibly satisfying. Rated: 4/5 Aug 11, 2023 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian [Lee's] balletic moves are a joy and the traditional nunchuck showoff display is mesmeric – it’s why we can forgive this film for the slightly lower-octane scenes when he’s not in them. Rated: 4/5 Aug 9, 2023 Full Review Perry Stewart Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com As martial arts films go, "Dragon" leads the pack so far. Mar 20, 2023 Full Review Patrick Hicks Feelin' Film Podcast Bruce Lee is the star and that's why we watch. Bare bones plot. No apologies. All action. All fun. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 21, 2023 Full Review Allison Rose FlickDirect Enter the Dragon set the standard for Martial Arts movies that has been imitated time and time again. Rated: 5/5 Aug 8, 2023 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand ... a glorified B-movie mix of kung-fu fighting (choreographed by Lee himself) and James Bond intrigue elevated by the charismatic presence and graceful but deadly moves of the lean, wiry martial arts master.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/31/23 Full Review Patrick F Bruce Lee's best looking movie with a deeper exploration of his philosophy than his previous movies. One of the most important martial arts films ever made without a doubt. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review felipe g Bruce Lee era um gênio! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Ray M What more needs to be said? Bruce Lee deserves his iconic status. The tragedy is we lost him too soon but the camera loved him so he is preserved forever young on celluloid and this film is a fitting legacy. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/15/24 Full Review N.A.
