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

And yet when the fisticuffs eventually arrive — on a James Bond-style island where an evil crime lord is hosting an international kung fu-themed tournament of death — they’re impossibly satisfying.

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.

As martial arts films go, "Dragon" leads the pack so far.

3/5

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...

Bruce Lee is the star and that's why we watch. Bare bones plot. No apologies. All action. All fun.

Great classic that has stood the test of time and confirms that Bruce Lee is still an iconic Martial Arts master

Enter The Dragon es sin duda una gran película. Pero no es exactamente la mejor de las cinco películas emblemáticas de Bruce Lee. Desde luego que tiene un par de errores en la edición y algún hueco argumental, pero son mínimos y no son muy importantes. El puesto de la mejor película emblemática de Bruce Lee le pertenecería a Fist Of Fury porque es la más perfecta de las cinco. Enter The Dragon se quedaría con el segundo lugar, pero eso no la hace menos importante. La historia, los personajes y el escenario presentaron una estructura que sería incorporada en obras posteriores. La importancia de esta película es innegable y eso ha hecho que se consolide como una de las mejores del cine de acción. Enter The Dragon es la película más influyente e inspiradora de las cinco películas emblemáticas de Bruce Lee. Eso hace que se merezca gran parte del reconocimiento que ha recibido y es una película que merece seguir siendo vista y recordada. Mi calificación final para esta película es un 9/10.
