Bruce
Lee became an international martial arts icon with the theatrical release of
“Enter The Dragon,” a film that has some tongue-in-cheek humor as well as
lots of action and a good story to boot. Sent after a renegade former student of
his Master who poses an international threat, Lee’s character must infiltrate
an exclusive and deadly martial arts competition in order to get close enough to
bring the villain down. “Enter The Dragon” also features good supporting
action performances from John Saxon and Jim Kelly, who participate in the
film’s martial arts tournament sequences too. Seeing Bruce Lee on any screen
only makes one wonder what might have been had he not passed away in the 1970s?
Surely he had the natural onscreen charisma as well as martial arts talent to
have been featured a wide variety of films and I think sooner or later he would
have garnered a great award for his entire body of work most likely by the
American Film Institute, The Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences, and
the Hollywood Foreign Press Association among many others. However we obviously
will never know and like so many bright Stars who disappear before what seems to
be their time, Bruce Lee lives on in a larger than life roll as an icon of
martial arts as well as a talented performer and writer in his own right.
Warner
Home Video’s UMD edition of “Enter The Dragon” presents the 25th
anniversary edition of the film with three minutes restored that were not
originally a part of the American theatrical release. This digitally remastered
version looks gorgeous on the high resolution LCD display of the PSP with a 16
by 9 widescreen presentation. I am not aware of the film’s original theatrical
release aspect ratio and I do not have a copy of Warner Home Video’s DVD
edition to compare the UMD to so I cannot say for certain if the image has or
has not been enhanced for the widescreen display of Sony’s PlayStation
Portable. What I can state that despite a few print blemishes here and there,
“Enter The Dragon” looks bright and colorful. A clear two-channel Monaural
English Soundtrack as well as a French Language Dubbed Monaural Soundtrack and
French and Norwegian Language Subtitles are encoded onto the UMD as options too.
There are no English Subtitles for the hearing impaired encoded onto the UMD,
which strikes me as odd considering this is a domestic Region One UMD for PSP
release.
There
are no bonus features on this UMD at all, but the interactive menus are animated
with full motion scene selections and all are easy to navigate. If you are a
martial arts fan or Bruce Lee admirer and have a PSP, you have to add “Enter
The Dragon” to your UMD collection. “Enter The Dragon” is available on UMD
for PSP now at retailers on and offline courtesy of Warner Home Video.
