Ep. 155 — ENTER THE DRAGON (1973)


Listen Later

Gary celebrated his birthday in August by programming the entire month of films for the podcast, so it only stands to reason that Justin would get to do the same for his birth month of November. All month long, we'll be showcasing films that he's personally chosen, all films he's wanted to talk about on the show for a long time, but has never had the chance...until now!

On the fourth and final week of this series, we're taking a look at yet another essential genre that we've yet to fully dive into here on the podcast: the martial arts movie!

And to do so, we're going back to the film that essentially brought the genre to the United States and the man responsible for it, ENTER THE DRAGON starring the legendary Bruce Lee.

How did Lee go from a relative unknown in America to a major movie star in Hong Kong before making the film that was set to turn him into an international star? We'll discuss the creation of ENTER THE DRAGON as well as how its legacy has been affected by the untimely death of its star.

Is ENTER THE DRAGON an essential cult film, worthy of inclusion in the Psychotronic Canon? Let us know by voting in this week's poll!
