Hong Kong Cinema

Released in 1973, Enter the Dragon falls under the category of Wuxia pian (“films of chivalrous combat”).
Featuring choreographed martial arts moves and violence, it exemplifies the characteristics that Hong Kong
Cinema would come to be known for. A co-production between Hong Kong and the USA, the film was released
one month after Lee’s death, and features a soundtrack by Argentinian composer Lalo Shilfrin (with a mix of
jazz, funk and traditional film score elements inspired by music from Southeast Asia) that would go on to earn a
gold record.
Describe particular scenes or moves that make this film different from other action genres. Do the sound
effects and soundtrack help to emphasize the action or hinder it? Explain.
