ENTER THE DRAGON is undeniably the best of the lot. I, too liked THE CHALLENGE, though I think the distinction between "karate" and "samurai" movies should be made; THE CHALLENGE belongs in the latter category, along with YOJIMBO, THE SEVEN SAMURAI, etc. I envy many of my friends in Minneapolis who got to see at a theater there last month the film ZATOICHI VS. YOJIMBO. At any rate, one karate movie that I thought was quite good, believe it or not, was BLACK BELT JONES, starring Jim Kelly (the black member of the ENTER THE DRAGON trio). --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC Maynard) UUCP: (decvax!decwrl!rhea!akov68!boyajian) ARPA: (decwrl!rhea!akov68!boyajian@Shasta)
