At the end of 1973’s Enter the Dragon, Bruce Lee finds himself inside an optical illusion. After infiltrating a martial arts tournament to avenge the death of his sister, Lee hunts Han, a nefarious drug ringleader, into a room full of mirrors. There, the pair engage in a deceptive cat-and-mouse fight for their lives, peeking around corners that refract multiple faces and limbs. At certain points, it’s hard to tell whether their hand-to-hand combat is happening in front of director Robert Clouse’s anamorphic lens or if he’s merely capturing their creeping and kicking reflections. In this final showdown, a slow-paced fight turns into an unpredictable carnival attraction. Nothing is as it seems.
