I may not like Ratner's more recent work, but once - a long time ago - we would talk and geek out over ENTER THE DRAGON into the wee hours of the night. He is INCREDIBLY passionate about this film - moreso than anyone I know. I may give Brett a lot of shit for a lot of things, but the reason is because I like the guy that I first met, chatted with for years - and kinda wish he was still that same guy.

No, I never climbed Mt Everest with my parents. But I know BIGFOOT is real because Guillermo Del Toro says so.

Try this Harry, try to write one post about the person and not about how you know all sorts of celebs and then loosely tie it back to that person somehow. Seriously, I think this post could've been written without the Rat reference. Do you not know you're name dropping or do you realize it and just not care?

And how does Harry repay their courtesy? By lambasting them each every chance he gets. Just so he can fit in with the deranged cool kids on his forum.

With the number of villains he played in old HK films, that's probably true. To the guy dissing Enter the Dragon up there, I actually agree with you somewhat. Of Bruce Lee's (completed) movies, Enter the Dragon has become my least favorite. But that's the Bruce Lee movie that most (Western) audiences know.

Some 'younglings' here haven't seen ENTER THE DRAGON - well get yourself an education kids. It's like the James Bond of martial arts movies. High production values, awesome cinematography, and a distinctive secret agent vibe. Think im gonna update my DVD of it to Blu Ray in honor of Han. You have my Gwatitood.

Wouldn't go so far as to say I was FRIENDS with any of them. Friendly while I liked their films, but once I didn't - the friendly relationship went away. Personally, I was brought up to believe that friends were honest with each other, not lie to each other - and definitely not over something as silly as not liking a movie. With Ratner, its been several bad ones now. I hope he turns it around. And the second he's made a good to great film, I'd welcome him back as a filmmaker, just as I did with Joel Schumacher - who made horrible films and pretty damn great ones. We've been friendly through good reviews and bad reviews.

"Harry... You come right out a comic book (shop)" I think 'professional acquaintance' is the term you're loking for rather than 'friend'. It is cool that you've managed to build (and sometimes burn) these relationships with some interesting people in the film industry... but i'm sure you're also worldly enough to understand that you're a critic and feigning friendship with critics is part of the job.
by Cobra--Kai	Jun 5th, 2009 05:13:06 AM
H, if I could offer you any advice it would be to tread 'carefully' around this whole area. You've been accused of bias and selling out rather more in this last year than i've certainly seen before. I don't know if the TS review was a subliminal reaction to that and i'm not trying to get you to second guess tb opinion before you write... but perhaps it wouldn't hurt to write less of the personal stuff before each review because it's making you seem increasingly subjective and less objective.
"Harry... You come right out a comic book (shop)" by ironic_name	Jun 5th, 2009 06:27:20 AM

In my eyes Bruce Lee created and perpetuated more stereotypes than anything else. I didn't find any of his movies to be good, sure they have some great scenes but as a whole, I just never got the appeal. None of the actors in Enter the Dragon did a particularly great job yet it's a "classic" and "masterpiece"? strange

It was the first of its kind, It was the first martial art big budget flick the world has ever witnessed. You could never truly appreciate it unless you came from that era. It would be difficult for any one to comprehend if you watched all of its predecessors 30 years later then going back to watch it.

In BROAD Daylight. Seriously, Enter The Dragon created a Phenomenon in the United States. After this film was released, Martial Art Schools started popping up everywhere. From California to Rhode Island. Bruce did not "perpetuate any stereotypes" However, he did created new-ones. Instead of Asians being portrayed in film as Comic relief and Immigrants. They are considered to be a race of people that could beat your ass!

Shek Kin's legacy by Solrider77	Jun 5th, 2009 09:08:11 AM
With all due respect to Harry, I think he didn't quite explain the full impact of Shek Kin's contribution to world of martial arts movies so I'd like to add the following. Long before Kin was cast in ENTER THE DRAGON he was already a household name in Hong Kong due to his involvement in the original WONG FEI HUNG series begining in 1949 and ending around 1970. Kin was the most frequent opponent of Master Wong who was played by Kwan Tak Hing. The two fought each other over a span of over 90 films. An entire generation of Hong Kong movies goers grew up loving to hate Kin. In fact it was this public recognition that made Bruce cast him as the villain in ETD. He felt that by facing Kin onscreen he was taking the place of Fei Hung as new chinese cultural hero. Kin's performance is also remarkable when you consider that he was in his early 60's when he faced Bruce on film. After ETD Kin did appear in more movies like the aforementioned DRUNKEN MASTER and ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA. He even spoofed his famous image by reteaming with Kwan Tak Hing as rival ice skating coaches in ACES GO PLACES 4. Some above posters have challenged Harry's statement about Kin being the greatest martial art movie villain, citing White Eyebrows for that honor. While it is true that Pai Mei or White Eyebrows may a bigger villain than Kin, that's only cause Pai Mei was a chinese cultural villain long before cinema existed. Shek Kin was one of the corner stones upon which the martial art movie world was built. Everything that came afterward was due to the films he helped make popular. That is his true legacy, which is why we now mourn the passing of a cinematic legend.

Enter the Dragon is your favorite? Really? Douchebag. by johnnfla	Jun 5th, 2009 10:41:14 AM
Anyone who has watched ANY of Bruce Lee's films and thinks Enter the Dragon is the best is just a tool. Sure the scenes with Bruce are awesome as always. But the movie sucks ass. Quit trying to suck up and look cool. Way of the Dragon is by far the best movie. And Han isn't even in the top 3 of Bruce's best "Bad Guys". Damn Harry, sounds like you've been tying a silk curtain string around your neck and cock-n-balls too long.

First to Sherlock Junior-you're welcome. Also here's a link to the Associate Press' obituary on Shek Kin: http://www.legacy.com/Obituari es.asp?page=LifeStory&personId =128041374 And lastly I'm very disappointed that so many of the postings in this talk back are dedicated to bashing Ratner. Who cares if he's the one Harry mentions in his article! One of the most important people in the history of Martial Arts Movies had died! Show some respect where it is honestly due!

that he was round 60 when he was going up against Bruce Lee in ENTER THE DRAGON. That's fairly impressive.
Ask many people why they began martial arts by jaggers_swagger	Jun 6th, 2009 12:01:22 AM
training in the late 70s and early 80s (like myself) and you will find that Enter the Dragon sparked a passion that pushed the martial arts craze in America. We knew some of the martial arts in the movie was shitty, but we loved it anyway. I wanted to be Bruce Lee. I would like to thank Shek Kin for being an awesome villian to root against.

I don't care! MAN, I haven't seen KFM since college, but I can still remember that line. Rest in Peace, Han-Man!

where they're watching Enter the Dragon on the big screen. I'd love to see it on the big screen. It was funny watching the fat Asian dude stomp on the ghetto blaster a la Bruce Lee stomping on Ohara.
