You Have Our Gratitude!

What can you say about a Bruce Lee movie? I don't think he is in any good movies, but he is incredible himself. His speed, his skill, his amazing musculature, and the way he slowly grinds his heel through a villains skull are all unsurpassed. But all his films are dogs (dissenting arguments welcomed).

We mainly watched Enter the Dragon: Special Edition because it was parodied in Kentucky Fried Movie. Getting to see Klang - I mean Han - say "You have our gratitude" was priceless. Finding out that the original version of "total concentwation" was "emotional content" was fascinating. And I was thrilled to see the lost, drunken men, found in waterfront bars who don't know where they are and no longer care.

And if you don't know what I'm talking about, I'm sorry, but you know what to do.

One thing that EtD had that KFM didn't was sidekicks:
  • John Saxon, who is something like Ross Hagen with a bigger budget. He plays an ass-kicking gambler who would do anything for money. Except guillotine a cat!
  • Jim Kelly, who doesn't get too many fight scenes, but does get his pick of the ladies.
