The magic of the movies is how many people first discovered the martial arts, a loosely related set of hand-to-hand combat practices, most closely associated with China, which have diffused across most of the world. This rich tradition has been showcased in the plots and action sequences of countless films, including these eight exceptional, beloved classics.‘Enter the Dragon’ (1973)

“Enter the Dragon” will always be linked with the untimely death of its young star, Bruce Lee, prior to the film’s wide release. Lee plays Lee, a martial artist recruited by British intelligence to infiltrate the island drug and human trafficking ring operated by Han (Shih Kien) under the guise of a martial arts tournament.Competing alongside two Americans, Roper (John Saxon) and Williams (Jim Kelly), Lee methodically dispatches Han’s henchmen and avenges his sister’s death in the process. Unquestionably the “most influential martial-arts movie ever made,” its profits, likely in excess of $100 million on a budget of less than $1 million, “were astronomical,” and the film has “more than stood the test of time,” said Tom Gray at BBC.
