ABOUT ENTER THE DRAGON

Along with champions Roper (John Saxon) and Williams (Jim Kelly), Lee 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.

One of the first films to bring martial arts action to a mainstream audience, 1973’s Enter the Dragon was the final film Bruce Lee completed before his untimely death.

ABOUT BLADE 

The power of an immortal. The soul of a human. The heart of a hero. Sworn to defend humanity, although not entirely human …

Wesley Snipes stars in this action-packed thriller as the immortal vampire hunter Blade. Awakened to consciousness–and pain–before birth by the bite of the undead vampire that kills his mother, a young boy grows into a mythical warrior bearing a blood-curse: An almost insatiable desire for blood that he must fight every moment of every day.
