Enter the Dragon was the first martial arts film produced by Americans and would be actor Bruce Lee's final film.

ENTER THE DRAGON was the first martial arts film produced by Americans and would be actor Bruce Lee'sfinal film. Both the film and Schifrin's score have earned cult followings in the 40 years since the initial release. The film was added to the National Film Registry in 2004.


But to a certain generation, it is Schifrin's score forENTER THE DRAGONthat set the standard. Director Brett Ratner (who would go on to hire Schifrin to score his RUSH HOUR trilogy) said 'ENTER THE DRAGON is one of my favorite movies, but its one of my favorite movies for one main reason: that it's the best score I have ever heard in any movie,' (KCRW interview, October 26, 2011).


Kung Fu culture has proven to be a major influence on the development of hiphop culture, movies and music - and both the film and Lalo's score are still recognized as major influencers. Even as recently as 2013, the group Blue Scholars released a song called 'Lalo Schifrin', boasting the lyric 'I compose fight music like Lalo Schifrin/Me and Bruce Lee, not so different.'


Recruited by an intelligence agency, outstanding martial arts student Bruce Lee participates in a brutal karate tournament hosted by the evil Han (Kien Shih). Along with champions Roper (John Saxon) and Williams (Jim Kelly), he uncovers Han's white slavery and drug trafficking ring located on a secret island fortress. In the exciting climax, hundreds of freed prisoners fight in an epic battle with Lee and Han locked in a deadly duel.


''Lee told me that there was a 2,000-year tradition in martial arts,'' Schifrin described his first meeting with the film's star Bruce Lee. ''He had to learn all of the rules in order to break them. Right away, I found we had that in common: I studied classical music, centuries of European classical tradition, rules and regulations, things that you can and cannot do. And then we break all the rules.''
