Hong Kong To-do: edit purge Clean up all MTR station pages. They are literally all over the place. Two model pages are Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. They each describe a feature special to the station, Station layout, exit, and connections, as well as neighbouring stations and the station "box". We will also need plenty of updated pictures (e.g. removing all KCR-related images except those on the KCR article). Check that all pages have basically the same language structure as Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. Links to location maps are good too. (Should also perform these checks on Chinese Wikipedia.) Clean-up pages that link with TVB, especially its series pages.

[edit] Uncredited cast

What evidence do we have that Chuck Norris was in the movie? I never heard that. Same could be said for Hidei Ochai, and Tadashi Yamashita. References?

Yes where is he? Ajuk 00:33, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Should the Cameraman be fired?

Can some movie buffs comment on the cinematography of this movie? As a layman and a movie-goer, I think this movie's shots sucked big time. In most of the fight scenes, I could only see Bruce head and shoulder. A kung fu shot is worthless when you cannot see the hands nor feet of the fighters. Any comment on how this is compared to other Bruce Lee movies? I guess Warner Brothers and the cinematographer knew nothing about kung fu movie back then and totally missed the point. They wasted Bruce's time and effort. Unfortunately, Bruce is not there to do a remake. Bummer! Kowloonese 00:28, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

You're right - it was very bad cinematography. Lee's other movies had much better shooting (as in seeing the entire actor during the fight). Chinese cinematography was (is?) much different than Hollywood's. At the time, they tended to use long, continuous shots - perfect for martial arts movies.EETech 16:33, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] References to Enter the Dragon in Other Media

There is a Mariah Carey video that features the theme music from Enter the Dragon as she's fighting a girl in the bathroom. EETech 16:33, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

There was an episode of Jackie Chan Adventures, where they had to infiltrate an island where the criminal mastermind Chang had a detachable hand, just like Han.202.156.10.13 14:14, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Blaxploitation?

Why is this categorized as that XD

Possibly because of the inclusion of Jim Kelly. He later did a couple of blaxploitation films. CardinalFangZERO 16:31, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] photo

shouldn't we remove the bruce lee flexing photo? that's from way of the dragon, not enter the dragon. 76.212.167.188 06:47, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

I second that, totally different movie and completely irrelevant to the article. DudleyScardsdale 16:56, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

I recommend removing the "citation needed" from the first line. How can you cite common knowledge? That's like saying, "some consider the sea to be salty, citation needed"

I completely agree to the extent that I and all of my friends think Enter the Dragon is the definitive kung fu movie, but since none of us are in "the biz" our opinion on the subject really doesn't matter. If you can dig up some rave reviews about it for a source, then we will have the precious citations. DudleyScardsdale 22:15, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spoilers

We can read the word "Plot" when it's in a section heading, right? And we can read the content disclaimer which tells us right at the top that Wikipedia contains spoilers. In that case, the spoiler tag is redundant. We don't need to be told twice that the next section is a discussion of the plot. --Tony Sidaway 21:24, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nunchaku scene

I think the sentence stating the nunchaku scene as being a major influence should be removed. What, exactly, has it influenced? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.65.150.50 (talk) 12:26, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

The movie sucked, but it was one of the most profitable film ever primarily because Bruce Lee was in it... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.8.142.56 (talk) 20:05, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
