Enter the Dragon (1973)

Like most films which are both the instigator and archetype for the genre, Enter the Dragon falls into the rare category of films which have become a sad parody of themselves. Even down to the story, the every plot point, or badly written character, we've seen it a hundred times since then. When watching the original, we're reminded of the parodies and can't help but laugh. 

That said, the combat for which Lee was known is quite impressive. The fight scenes are not quick-cut extravaganzas, but are slowed down allowing us to appreciate the nuances. The fights are quite impressive.
