“There is no opponent… Because the word ‘I’ does not exist”
Come celebrate the brooding, bodacious, badass-ery of the undeniable master of martial arts cinema, Bruce Lee! To ring in the holiday season, let’s mourn/celebrate the swan song of our stolen-too-soon patron saint of fisticuffs, philosophy, and even-keel-killer-instincts. Tragically, Lee died six days before Enter the Dragon premiered, but tonight we’ll dive right back into the decidedly non-wire, fists-n-feet fighting style of yesteryear.
Lee is hired to infiltrate a martial arts tournament thrown by a seedy, reclusive billionaire named Han, who conveniently owns an island just outside of international jurisdiction. Alongside Lee’s brilliant performance, John Saxon (A Nightmare On Elm Street, Black Christmas) & Jim Kelly (sporting possibly the greatest afro captured on celluloid) deliver some decidedly strong turns as Roper & Williams—a pair of American fighters ready to join Lee and fuck up the baddies.
