Critics Consensus

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

4/5

[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. Go to Full Review

Enter the Dragon is a simple, brash and straightforward action melodrama, derivative and ripe for parody from Kentucky Fried Movie...even if the writing and storytelling are hackneyed, there’s an underlying excitement that still earns pass marks today... Go to Full Review
