Bruce Lee explodes onto the screen in the film that rocketed him to international superstardom, Enter The Dragon. Lee plays a martial arts expert determined to take down the ruthless gang leader, Han, who was responsible for the death of his sister. Recruited by an intelligence agency, he poses a student and attends a tournament at a remote island fortress. His goal is to gather evidence that will prove Han’s involvement with drug trafficking and prostitution.

Great movie, I would be more interested in the process of getting it onto UHD. Has it been scaled up from the DVD version or has the original film been rescanned and transferred natively to 4K HDR..? Has the soundtrack been remixed to Dolby Atmos or is it just a matrix stereo adaptation..? I guess we’ll find out as the information becomes available…. Here’s hoping for the best.

they had a fairly recent 4K scan from the original negative created, so I'm going to assume they used that one... the audio should be the the same 5.1 mix that was on the Blu-ray... Warner almost never remixes old classics into Atmos... especially pre-90s flicks
