Reception

edit

According to website Cityonfire "Enter Three Dragons isn't as wacky as "Clones," but there's definitely enough unintentional entertainment that makes it just as fun." and gave the rate 6 out of 10. The movie however gave confusion to people due to the random additional fight scenes and cuts of the film.[2] Screen Mayhem says, Enter Three Dragons might be considered the ugly step-sister of The Clones of Bruce Lee. Once again packed with too many dragons.[3]

Production and media release

edit

The movie was released in alternate name which gave some people a confusion with the titles. The Korean release of the movie was released the title after Three Avengers. But the thing that makes even more confuse is the movie was released in U.S after the title called Dragon on Fire which also happens to be an alternate title of The Dragon, the Hero (featuring John Liu and Dragon Lee.) which made people confused with the movie titles between Enter Three Dragons and Dragon on Fire. The U.S production was done Samuel Wall (who appeared as Sammy in the movie) however it was later credited as Joseph Lai and Tomas Tang. Godfrey Ho was co-director of this movie. [citation needed]
