Enter the Dragon/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Bruce Lee possibly had more Crowning Moments Of Awesome in this movie than he did in each of his other movies.
    • The completely one-sided fight with O'Hara, complete with killing him brutally in revenge.

Lee: Boards... Don't hit back.

      • During said fight, Ohara picked up a couple of bottles and broke 'em, followed by Lee kicking them away. Lee wanted this to look as real as possible and insisted that they use real broken bottles instead of spun sugar. He gashed the living hell out of his ankle and shooting had to stop for several days while he healed.
    • Releasing the cobra on the guardsmen, and sitting there with an almost bored expression on his face as they panic & flee.
    • The entire fight sequence throughout the base after the alarm goes off, arguably the greatest fight in the history of Bruce Lee movies.
      • The fight was further punctuated by a slow-motion scene, also seen earlier in the movie when O'Hara is killed that seems to indicate Lee is "unleashing the beast," so to speak.
    • "You have offended my family... and you offended the Shaolin Temple."
      • ... and pretty much the entire fight that followed that line, especially breaking all the mirrors to get rid of Han's advantage.
    • Bruce Lee. Nunchucks. Awesome.
    • This.
  • Roper got a Crowning Moment of Awesome in the movie as well, when he refused to fight Lee, and instead fought & defeated the monster known as Bolo. Here's a video.
    • Two - right after that fight, he and Lee team up to kick the crap out of Han's army. It gets even better after that, when all the prisoners get released and it turns into a Battle Royale With Cheese.
  • And as for Williams?

Williams: Man, you come right out of a comic book.

    • Williams full stop, I dare say.
