Выход дракона
According to Scott Mendelson of "Forbes", "Enter the Dragon" contains spy film elements similar to the "James Bond" franchise. "Enter the Dragon" was the most successful action-spy film to not be part of the "James Bond" franchise; "Enter the Dragon" had an initial global box office comparable to the "James Bond" films of that era, and a lifetime gross surpassing every "James Bond" film up until "GoldenEye" (1995). Mendelson argues that, had Lee lived after "Enter the Dragon" was released, the film had the potential to launch an action-spy film franchise starring Lee that could have rivalled the success of the "James Bond" franchise.
