Enter The Dragon theme

The theme to Bruce Lee's film "Enter the Dragon", released six days after his untimely death in 1973.

Bruce Lee was born November 27, 1940 in San Francisco, California. Shortly after his birth, Lee and his parents moved to Hong Kong. Lee was introduced into films at a very young age, appearing in 20 films by the time he was 18.

In the spring of 1959, Lee got into a street fight and the police were called. Lee's father decided for him to leave Hong Kong to pursue a safer and healthier avenue in the United States. At the age of 18, Lee moved back to San Francisco for several months, before he moved to Seattle in the fall of 1959. While in Seattle, Lee began teaching martial arts, where he opened his first martial arts school.

On August 17, 1964, Bruce married Linda Lee Cadwell. They had two children together, Brandon Lee (1965-1993) and Shannon Lee (b. 1969). Lee co-starred in the television series The Green Hornet from 1966 to 1967, and made an appearance in his first American film, Marlowe, in 1969. Lee also appeared in four episodes of the television series Longstreet in 1971. Not happy with his supporting roles in the U.S., Lee returned to Hong Kong.

Lee played his first leading role in The Big Boss in 1971, which proved to be an enormous box office success across Asia and catapulted him to stardom. He soon followed up with Fist of Fury in 1972, which broke the box office records set previously by The Big Boss. For his third film, Way of the Dragon (also released in 1972), Lee was given complete control of the film's production as the writer, director, and star, and choreographer of the fight scenes.

In late 1972, Lee began work on his fourth major film, Game of Death, and even began filming some of the fight scenes. Production was stopped however, when Warner Brothers offered Lee the opportunity to star in Enter the Dragon, the first film to be produced jointly by Golden Harvest and Warner Bros. Only a few months after the film's completion and six days before its release, Lee died on July 20, 1973 at the age of 32. Enter the Dragon skyrocketed Lee to fame in the U.S. and Europe, and went on to become one of the year's highest grossing films

After Lees death, Robert Clouse, (director of Enter the Dragon), and Raymond Chow attempted to finish Lee's incomplete film Game of Death. In a controversial move, Clouse finished the film using a look-alike and archive footage of Lee from his other films along with a new storyline and cast. The film was released in 1978, using only 11 minutes and 7 seconds of the footage from the original Game of Death.

I think that the Game of Death would have surpassed Enter The Dragon in greatness had he not died.......I was watching A&E one time and they showed the hidden footage that they never released.

It seemed that they filmed all of the end fightscenes and just needed to finish the begining of it which never got done because he died of course.

Tho it wasn't in english it was very entertaining as all of his movies r but I just wished it could have been completed :'(

They didn't film all the fight scenes. According to Bruce's notes TGOD's pagoda was supposed to have 5 floors, not 3 (they only got to film 3 before Bruce's death). Plus there's evidence that suggest there was supposed to be an additional outdoor fight scene.
