Enter the Dragon, the first film to be produced jointly by Golden Harvest and Warner Bros, would skyrocket Lee to fame in the U.S. and Europe. However, only a few months after the film’s completion and 6 days before its 26 July 1973 release, the supremely fit Lee mysteriously died. Enter the Dragon would go on to become one of the year’s highest grossing films and cement Lee as a martial arts legend. It was made for US$850,000 in 1973 (equivalent to $4 million adjusted for inflation as of 2007). To date, Enter the Dragon has grossed over $200 million worldwide. The movie sparked a brief fad in the martial-arts, epitomized in such songs as “Kung Fu Fighting” and such TV shows as Kung Fu.
