Episode 80: Enter The Dragon
Manage episode 393963423 series 3365164
“If it makes sense like I think it makes sense in my head, then we’re onto a winner”
The panel of peril place their bets on their praying mantis of choice, watch it get roundly battered by its mantis opponent, and then stick on this week’s film Enter The Dragon (Robert Clouse, 1973).
Lee (Bruce Lee) is a highly proficient martial artist and disciple of Shaolin. He is yet to encounter a man he can not defeat or school. So who better to task with bringing down secretive drug lord Han (Kien Shih) than our man in Hong Kong? Entering Han’s martial arts tournament on his private island in order to gain intel, Lee is joined by Vietnam vets Roper (John Saxon) and Williams (Jim Kelly), as they all join the fight for their own reasons.

********PLOT SPOILER ALERT********
Further fuelling Lee’s quest is the revelation that Han has a habit of getting the sex workers on his island hooked on opium, and Lee’s own sister took her own life following a brutal battle with Han’s henchmen. Needless to say, somebody needs to have the last laugh – but will that person be the honourable Lee or the brass-handed drug lord Han?
What the actual (back)flip did the panel make of this one? How the actual flip can they improve upon the Han’s dastardly scheme? And who the actual flip will be victorious in this week’s competition?
