Description: “Enter the Dragon” (1973) tells the story of Lee, a skilled Kung Fu master and instructor from Hong Kong. He is recruited by British intelligence agent Braithwaite to investigate Han, a suspected crime lord. Lee agrees to participate in a martial arts tournament hosted on Han’s private island to gather evidence of Han’s involvement in drug trafficking and prostitution. Before leaving, Lee discovers that O’Hara, the man responsible for his sister’s death, is Han’s bodyguard. Also competing in the tournament are Roper, a gambling addict in debt, and Williams, a fellow Vietnam War veteran.
On the first day, Lee secretly explores Han’s underground compound with the help of undercover operative Mei Ling. After being discovered by guards, he escapes. The next day, Han orders his enforcer Bolo to execute the guards for their failure. During the tournament, Lee defeats O’Hara, who attacks him with broken bottles, leading to O’Hara’s death. Han abruptly ends the competition, citing O’Hara’s actions as disgraceful. Later, Han confronts Williams, suspecting him of knowing about the intruder, and kills him in a brutal fight.
Han then reveals his drug operation to Roper, offering him a place in his organization. However, Roper refuses after learning of Williams’ fate. The film showcases Lee’s journey for justice and his confrontation with Han’s criminal empire.
