How Bruce Lee’s Enter the Dragon Changed Hollywood Forever
Bruce Lee’s 1973 film, “Enter the Dragon,” is a landmark achievement in genre filmmaking and is widely regarded as one of his finest works. However, the movie almost didn’t happen due to Lee’s uncompromising vision for the production. He insisted on creative control of the script, and when Warner Bros. refused to use his changes, he penned a letter to the executives expressing his determination.
After a two-week stand-off, Lee’s script changes were eventually accepted, and the film was a massive success, cementing his status as a pop culture icon and changing the way Asians were portrayed in American films.
