Rare pictures of Enter The Dragon

Enter the Dragon was one the biggest movies to come out that kicked off the whole Martial Arts craze in the United States. Bruce Lee was definitely at the helm of this. At a time where a lot of social, political, and economical changes occurred, this was definitely needed. The United States was still pretty separated even the 70's. Many of Bruce Lee's enemies were non supporters of his movement. They were not only in dispute to his self made artform "Jeet Kune Do" but also his ideology of sharing it with anyone willing. The Si-Fu's wanted to keep it with the Chinese lineage. Bruce Lee was completely against that. His idea was sharing, creating unity. I respect him humbly for that. He caught a lot of flack for that. What Bruce Lee did was revolutionize martial arts on film. No fairy flying, no wires, none of that. Raw Martial Arts at it's finest. The beauty and simplicity of just the plain movement made it greater due to the fact that it was all truth.  Make sure you also support: the Bruce Lee blog by Shannon Lee (Bruce Lee's daughter). Definitely a lot of bombs and great things happening with that. You can also follow her on twitter: @bruceleedotcom
Here's some footage and rare screenshots of Enter the Dragon that Shannon Lee put together.
