If kung fu is now the standard badass language, Enter the Dragon -- featuring Lee's great slow-burn stare -- is the first grammar lesson.

Ripping entertainment overall, with just enough meat for amateur sociologists.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader

On an adventure level, the performances are quite good. The one by Mr. Lee, not only the picture's supermaster killer but a fine actor as well, is downright fascinating.

The opening drums in Lalo Schifrin's musical score can give you chills.
