Started watching the first third of Enter the Dragon. This one is utterly un-Chinese and features the Western theme music that became very popular during its time. The movie is like a 1970s Mission Impossible episode (the black-and-white TV series), with initial flashbacks of the players presented a la Agatha Christie's Ten Little Indians (and it's set on an island, too!). It's definitely a B-grade, but I do remember that, at the time, and I was in college then, no one really cared about the photography, the story, and the production design. All everyone cared about was the fighting. They didn't even care about sex!

This time around Bruce Lee as Mr. Li is avenging the death of a sister, not a teacher.

That's all I can stand for now. I refuse to see any more Richard Roundtree afro hairstyles, Shaft turtleneck shirts, and matching jackets and pants tonight--please spare me!

Will view the rest tomorrow.
