I thought Cdogg lived in the South...or somewhere in the middle of the country...maybe the east coast states(Georgia,NorS. Carolina) not the northeastern though i remember a few different poster calling him a New Hampshire tree hugger and hybrid , a Maine candy ass, even a blue blood from Connecticut......but definitely NOT the west coast because that will make him the FAGGOT from San Francisco....

 

Hanz meant West as in the Western part of the world in other words North America. And cdogg IS FROM mASSACHUSETS. ILLU BITCH!!!

 

FUCK You.....and fuck that extra greasy curry eating fag....:eye:

 

:::::bears::bears:
I love that whole interaction between them!

 

Lee crushes O'Hara (a Mick, no less):

"I'll be too busy looking good"

 

I wish you could read

The film is a generic action movie. The acting in it IS bad. The story is paint-by-numbers good guy/bad guy fare.

 

I live in and grew up in Connecticut in the Waterbury area. I was born in Danbury and lived there until 8 years of age.

I was the first person in my family not born in The Bronx or Manhattan.

My ties are almost entirely to New York City. I have never been further west than Chicago.

I've been to New Hampshire perhaps 4 times, and to Maine maybe three times.

Enter The Dragon is a kitschy, silly, generic film with a lot of karate chops in it. I have no doubt that had its star not passed away tragically at a young age, it would not be anywhere near as remembered today, nor would the halo effect have elevated it to a totally undeserved, unwarranted status of "classic" film. If you ignore character development, depth, an intelligent script and acting, it's a wonderful film. If, like me, you think things like that are what make great films, you see it as a silly vehicle for roundhouse kicks and humorous Kung Fu noises. Fun, in its way, but hardly a great work of art.

If Enter The Dragon is a classic artistic achievement, than so is "Billy Jack" (a ridiculous film, by the way)

 

I am not from Massachusetts, home of the Ancient Order Of Plastic Paddies

 

Nonsense.

ETD is a classic film in every sense.

Sure, it didn't have "Godfather" level of acting but the main characters (Mr Lee, Roper, Han, Williams, Bolo) were very intriguing indeed.

Great build up, action, plot, ending. Fabulous film.

:ant:

 

uh, no

The characters were one-dimensional. their motivations painfully obvious

 

I can read just fine. Why don't you show me in the post I quoted where I missed your intelligent critique of the film as opposed to you basically just posting bad Chinese accents and judging a freaking martial arts action movie like its Gone With The Wind. :dunno:

 

Well that piece of shit...

 

1) Go to the Bruce Lee thread in TAA

2) Exactly my point. It's a martial arts action movie. Martial Arts action movies are silly. Thus, it is precluded from ever being a great film. Again, only the untimely death of the star (and peoples' magical and puzzling devotion to him as a super-human) has elevated it to "classic" status

Stop wasting my time. You are one of the converts to the church of Bruce Lee, as was made painfully obvious in that TAA thread.

 

Nah...Bruce Lee's death has hardly anything to do with it being labelled a classic.

I don't hear anyone talking about Game of Death.

It's a damned good film. It's not your personal taste, which is fine, but it's a damned good film for most of the rest of us.

It's the perfect Martial Arts film.

 

The music for Game of Death is phenomenal! Awesome job by John Barry.

Nobody is ranking it in the top movies of all time, but in the action or martial arts genre, it is considered a great film. Also it's success doesn't have shit to do with Lee's dying. He was already selling out theaters and having every film agency in the world wanting to work with him before his death. Haters like you like to gloss over facts like that to try to shovel your hating ass bullshit. Understand, this kind of stuff pisses me off. Not because it's about Lee but because it's nothing but hate based off of nothing.

And for the record I'm not one of the Lee groupies. Like usual with you haters, you are so blinded by your hatred of someone you fail to realize that I did not once praise Bruce Lee beyond anything that wasn't factual. I don't sit here and say he could have beat so and so because I don't post speculation like most of you haters do when you say dumb shit like he would lose to any MMA guy out there. That my friend is speculation and it's only being said because you guys are so blinded by hate. Now if you want to discuss it further, then we can do it in that Bruce Lee thread.

Quoting Wikipedia:
"The film was well received by critics and is regarded by many as one of the best films of 1973. Critics have referred to Enter the Dragon as "a low-rent James Bond thriller", a "remake of Doctor No" with elements of Fu Manchu. It currently holds a 97% approval rating on the review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes, with 37 reviews counted and an average rating of 7.8/10. In 2004, the film was deemed "culturally significant" by the Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry."

 

The infamous nunchaku scene....infamous because, during the 1973-74 English football season, football fans would be stopped trying to enter grounds with handmade nunchakus.....the clip was cut from the movie until the 1990s.

(the hapless guard mesmerised and ultimately dispatched is cdogg)

 

Bruce was lucky to even be able to train after the severity of his back injury. Let alone have a film career.

Classic: Bruce Lee annhilates Fat Hanz with a now-classic MMA move! ::

 

"low-rent James Bond"

sounds like a classic work of art

 

Those were the negative reviews, not the positive ones.

 

True but his back still bothered him up to his death.
