Just like last week, this week’s feature is a blast from the past. At least for me. Enter the dragon was made when I was still a toddler, so I saw it much later. It had a huge cult following, and I discovered it when I saw it at a friend’s house. This was at the time everybody was renting videos, and I think we had a series of these. Bruce Lee made lots of these films, fighting his way to the top of the genre. And it stayed there, being considered now as the most influential martial arts movie ever made.
It might be strange but I never really liked the genre of martial arts movies. It was all a bit too much art for art’s sake, and the idea of fighting being a thing of beauty just didn’t appeal to me. Perhaps it is because I never was in a fight myself, and I wasn’t really the sporty type. I did have a lot of fun watching the Kill Bill scenes where the main character was trained by this old man with the outrageous long beard and beautiful eyebrows. I’m pretty sure it was inspired by scenes in Enter the Dragon.
And yet, this is not a soundtrack per se. It contains one track of music, and the rest is spoken word, dialogues from the movie. That specific version I couldn’t find on Spotify, but I still wanted a link to the title song.
