Bruce Lee e la nascita della cultura pop delle arti marziali moderne (Hypercritic).

Of all Bruce Lee‘s films, the 1973 martial arts cult classic Enter the Dragon is arguably the most famous and influential. After a series of successful Hong Kong action films showcasing his fighting skills, including The Big Boss (1971), Fist of Fury (1972), and The Way of the Dragon (1972), Lee collaborated with American director Robert Clouse.

The result was a genre-defining film that blended the scenic physicality typical of Hong Kong productions with a suspenseful, James Bond–esque approach to storytelling. If you have seen films, anime, or video games that pit good vs. evil in the context of a martial arts tournament, then Enter the Dragon is responsible. However, it’s not just about the action. With Enter the Dragon, Lee took the first step in bridging the gap between Western and Eastern cinema and pop culture.
