Uncredited cast

[edit]

What evidence do we have that Chuck Norris was in the movie? I never heard that. Same could be said for Hidei Ochai, and Tadashi Yamashita. References?

Yes where is he? Ajuk 00:33, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

and speaking of uncreditttteeeddd...

Seeing this film in my local theatre, at the time when it was originally released (1973), and keeping in mind the world events of the time period... Is it just me, or does the villain (Han) look ALOT like ol' tricky Dick?? (AHHH so.. Enter Dick Nixon!!...gonnnng!!!) 2602:304:CDAF:A3D0:80F6:C0D:EED7:AD07 (talk) 01:00, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Should the Cameraman be fired?

[edit]

Can some movie buffs comment on the cinematography of this movie? As a layman and a movie-goer, I think this movie's shots sucked big time. In most of the fight scenes, I could only see Bruce head and shoulder. A kung fu shot is worthless when you cannot see the hands nor feet of the fighters. Any comment on how this is compared to other Bruce Lee movies? I guess Warner Brothers and the cinematographer knew nothing about kung fu movie back then and totally missed the point. They wasted Bruce's time and effort. Unfortunately, Bruce is not there to do a remake. Bummer! Kowloonese 00:28, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're right - it was very bad cinematography. Lee's other movies had much better shooting (as in seeing the entire actor during the fight). Chinese cinematography was (is?) much different than Hollywood's. At the time, they tended to use long, continuous shots - perfect for martial arts movies.EETech 16:33, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

References to Enter the Dragon in Other Media

[edit]

There is a Mariah Carey video that features the theme music from Enter the Dragon as she's fighting a girl in the bathroom. EETech 16:33, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There was an episode of Jackie Chan Adventures, where they had to infiltrate an island where the criminal mastermind Chang had a detachable hand, just like Han.202.156.10.13 14:14, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And don’t forget “Kung Fu International” by John Cooper Clarke: “Thanks to that embryonic Bruce Lee/I’m a shadow of the person that I used to be/I can’t go back to Salford/The cops have got me marked/Enter the Dragon/Exit Johnny Clarke!” Mr Larrington (talk) 00:01, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Blaxploitation?

[edit]

Why is this categorized as that XD

Possibly because of the inclusion of Jim Kelly. He later did a couple of blaxploitation films. CardinalFangZERO 16:31, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

...and why is Williams referred to as a black activist? He was picked on by two white cops and protected himself... I don't see the correlation personally.

If movie characters are described according to the actors' previous and subsequent roles then things could get messy... Brad Pitt the Irish pikey best friend of the Dalai Lama, Bruce Willis the cat burgling burned out cop at the best of his game... etc —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.248.74.254 (talk) 14:45, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's worth considering whether Bruce Lee/ Robert Clouse intentionally added the blaxploitation elements as satire or commentary. The whole film constantly condemns racism and racial stereotypes (though some instances are Asian-on-Asian, hard for Western audiences to spot). The fact that Kelly, not Saxon or Bruce, gets the line: "Man, you come right out of a comic book!", is food for thought. Laodah 05:59, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

photo

[edit]

shouldn't we remove the bruce lee flexing photo? that's from way of the dragon, not enter the dragon. 76.212.167.188 06:47, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I second that, totally different movie and completely irrelevant to the article. DudleyScardsdale 16:56, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]


I recommend removing the "citation needed" from the first line. How can you cite common knowledge? That's like saying, "some consider the sea to be salty, citation needed"

I completely agree to the extent that I and all of my friends think Enter the Dragon is the definitive kung fu movie, but since none of us are in "the biz" our opinion on the subject really doesn't matter. If you can dig up some rave reviews about it for a source, then we will have the precious citations. DudleyScardsdale 22:15, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Spoilers

[edit]

We can read the word "Plot" when it's in a section heading, right? And we can read the content disclaimer which tells us right at the top that Wikipedia contains spoilers. In that case, the spoiler tag is redundant. We don't need to be told twice that the next section is a discussion of the plot. --Tony Sidaway 21:24, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nunchaku scene

[edit]

I think the sentence stating the nunchaku scene as being a major influence should be removed. What, exactly, has it influenced? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.65.150.50 (talk) 12:26, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

About a million punk-ass little white boys in the 70s. (Been there, was that.) If I had a dime for every kid in my town who walked around with nunchakus -- often homemade ones -- in his back pocket... Laodah 06:05, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The movie sucked, but it was one of the most profitable film ever primarily because Bruce Lee was in it... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.8.142.56 (talk) 20:05, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't Jackie Chan

[edit]

Someone has added this into the 'Notes' section:

"Jackie Chan appears briefly in a couple of scenes, as one of the guards or henchmen with O'Harra. The first is when he is kicked in the groin while coming on to Lee's sister. He is wearing the light blue clothing. He is also the only person to get any serious type of damage on Lee's sister. (Punches, a kick, and pushing her head into the wall)"

It is clearly Wilson Tong, and not Jackie Chan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.239.159.6 (talk) 15:21, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keye Luke

[edit]

Note to IP 71.187.169.185: I don't know when or why it was removed, but Keye Luke dubbed the voices of both main villain Han and Old Man, who tells Lee the truth about his sister's death. I'll look for a good source, and add it here and resubmit it there. --Tbrittreid (talk) 23:50, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

DVD list

[edit]

What's the point of the long & frankly irrelevant list of DVD releases? If it's justified, where's the list of VHS & 8mm releases?!

Isn't that what DVD Beaver & DVD Compare are for?

Of far more use would be a section detailing the various different cuts of the film... Vegan4Life (talk) 19:09, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The details were too indiscriminate for an encyclopedic article, so I removed them. Erik (talk) 20:44, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Spoofing

[edit]

The film is also spoofed in The Kentucky Fried Movie which mimicks it with their own "feature film." 76.93.148.179 (talk) 05:12, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Killing of O'Hara

[edit]

The scene where Lee kill O'Hara is summarized with: "Lee defeats O'Hara and is forced to kill him after the hood attempts to attack him using broken glass bottles."

However anyone who saw the movie knows that Lee incapacitated O'Hara and only after O'Hara was already down jumped on his, now defenseless, opponent. Clearly this was an act of revenge by Lee and should be noted as such.

Remove "The Black Power movement" and "Decolonization" sections

[edit]

These sections are the wrong side of original thought and should not be here, let alone they are introducing contentious issues that have no place in a encyclopedic entry about a Bruce Lee film. I am asking the be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:2002:2F8:A2BE:7487:F209:11BB:C294 (talk) 15:27, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Enter or Enters

[edit]

I don't know what the proper word is, "enter" or "enters." The most logical explanation is that it was a typo. 93.73.36.17 (talk) 12:17, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
