Enter the Dragon
Enter the Dragon or fully titled as Enter the Dragon: The Deadly Three is a 1973 martial arts film directed by Robert Clouse and written by Michael Allin. The film stars Bruce Lee, John Saxon, Ahna Capri, Bob Wall, Shih Kien, and Jim Kelly. Enter the Dragon was Bruce Lee's final completed film appearance before his death on 20 July 1973 at the age of 32. An American-Hong Kong co-production, the film premiered in Hong Kong on 26 July 1973, six days after Lee’s death, and in Los Angeles on 19 August 1973.
Enter the Dragon was estimated to have grossed over $400 million worldwide (equivalent to an estimated $2 billion adjusted for inflation as of 2022[update]) against a budget of $850,000. It is the most successful martial arts film ever and is widely regarded as one of the greatest martial arts films of all time. In 2004, it was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". Among the first films to combine martial arts action with spy film elements and the emerging blaxploitation genre, its success led to a series of similar productions combining the martial arts and blaxploitation genres. The film's themes have generated scholarly debate about the changes taking place within post-colonial Asian societies following the end of World War II.
Enter the Dragon is also considered one of the most influential action films of all time, with its success contributing to mainstream worldwide interest in the martial arts as well as inspiring numerous fictional works, including action films, television shows, action games, comic books, manga, and anime.
Lee, a martial artist and instructor from the Shaolin temple, is approached by British intelligence agent Braithwaite, who asks for his help in an undercover mission to investigate Han, a suspected crime lord, who was one of the students in Shaolin temple.
Since Han's island is only partly in British jurisdiction, they are unable to conduct any formal investigations into Han's involvement in drug trafficking and prostitution. Han's only connection to the outside world is his martial arts school, where he holds a tournament that invites fighters from across the world to compete. Lee agrees to help Braithwaite, believing his efforts will redeem the honor of the Shaolin temple that was tarnished by Han. His mission is to gather evidence that will prove Han's involvement in illegal activities, which will prompt the authorities to raid the island. While Lee will be mostly be on his own and unarmed during this mission, Braithwaite informs him that they have planted a covert agent on the island, Mei-Ling, who they have lost contact with. Shortly before his departure, Lee also learns that Han's bodyguard O'Hara is responsible for the death of his sister Su-Lin.
Joining Lee are other competitors, including Roper, an American playboy and gambler who is indebted and on the run from the mob; Williams, an African-American activist who is on the run after defending himself against racist police officers in Los Angeles; and Parsons, an arrogant and overconfident New Zealander. They are all taken from Hong Kong harbour to Han's island on a motorised junk; on the way, Lee humiliates Parsons in return for abusing one of the crew.
On the evening of their arrival, all of the tournament competitors attend a banquet, where Han himself appears and greets them. Lee spots Mei-Ling among Han's entourage. After the banquet, Han's assistant Tania goes to each of the competitor's rooms to offer them girls for the night. Williams chooses several women, while Roper chooses Tania as a mutual attraction grows between them. Lee chooses Mei Ling, who is able to brief him on the island and what's been happening. Mei-Ling has been unable to escape Han's observation in the palace, but lets Lee know that the girls are slowly disappearing over time.
On the first day of the tournament, Parsons is selected to fight Williams. Williams defeats him easily, and Parsons is never seen again. Roper is selected to fight Liu, one of the other visitors, and also defeats him.
