This one is a hard one to truly judge, but after I saw a clip on YT on a 32" 1440P, 10-bit monitor - it looked mind blowing! After I watched it on a 4K 65" - it was not as sharp, but it had it's moments!Let me start by saying that if you are expecting very fine detail of the 4K type that makes you see yourself as being right there in real life - this is not it! However, when compared to BD, this ALMOST gets you that experience. You will never forget that you are watching a film and it will never be mistaken for digital!Video (4.0):I will try my best to describe it in words and to give you are more true idea of what it looks like. This looks like film and the colors pop and show distinction, but are never overdone. Depth is very strong, bringing with it more detail such as shadows, sun casting, dental work (for better or worse), facial hairs, bolts, early 70's decor, and flora and man-made structures. It has a 'dry' leaning - or film-like look most of the time, while never really getting to the very fine detail of the type that shows each strand of hair or skin ailments. Soft scenes remain soft, while stronger scenes look more like a 4K that you would expect.The best resolution scenes take place in natural light and brightly lit scenes. 4K surely brings out and makes distinct each scene in film being shot on separate occasions with different settings. The overall presentation quality still puts it into the B movie category, while leaning toward an A movie. The 4K gives it a more cinematic depth than the previous BD's - although I never had the 40th Anniversary disc to compare, I only had the first two BD discs with the aliasing in the picture, so I never even saw it in true 1080P, let alone 4K until now.I bought this film on VHS, Laserdisc, DVD, BD two times and now 4K! Do you realize how many times they compel you to buy the same things over and over again? 4K can really bring out the limitations of a film, as a great many films are best served on blu-ray. Some films get forced onto 4K as a selling point, but some rarely benefit - at least throughout the film. Enter the Dragon mostly benefits, but it is safe to say that it is maxed out on 4K - especially if Warner Brothers did indeed do a new 4K scan for this! Regardless, this will be the final time that I buy it - probably for more reasons than one.This is the best a Bruce Lee film can look as far as I know, and it is the first 4K martial arts film that I have seen. I wished that they had included an at least HD 'making of' the film and any and ll outtakes and cut scenes, since the star is long gone. At least we get different versions of the film on one disc, but since it was not seamless branching, I would have preferred two discs with one on each! Ah well.Sound(4.5):While the picture quality still has something holding back very fine details in many cases, the sound on the other hand - is head and shoulders above previous releases and is a LOT better than I was expecting!It sounds true to the source, but strong and backed by enough bass to consider it modern, with a fast and tight release! The surround effects are there, strong and do not sound like the usual cheaply put together surround sound for older films. The Atmos had clear directional effects, with backing bass to each effect. The sounds seemed to be from the original source, so nothing sounds out of place or like a fake, after the fact effect. I was very impressed. Atmos was demonstrated, but not always in constant action. The surround sound sounded natural, STRONG and active. Even the opening theme song sounded different and cleaner than in previous releases.There were no extras, which was a bad thing. I wish that when they put these things together, they would give us everything pertaining to the film, in the way of behind the scenes footage, outtakes and cut scenes. I guess that is asking too much.If you come from the BD with aliased video, then this is a MAJOR upgrade and is worthy of getting in order to get the best version available. I will assume that this is as good as it can get and if 8K should ever come out, I don't seen this scaling as well. The footage still has grain, but it is light and the 4K was used for the footage and not to increase grain to 4K for no reason. It certainly has a big screen cinematic feel, and you need it in your collection.I also forgot to mention, that the 4K makes John Saxon's fake hair look even MORE obviously fake!
