Even more nonsensical is how the good guy always fights the gang that uses chains and knives -- the same gang that took over a city doesn't carry guns? Well, except for the big bad boss who comes in pointing a gun, but only after his 20 henchmen get beaten up. (That would be "Plan B" I suppose.) Of course, the big bad boss can never bring himself to kill the good guy right there and then ...

My favorite part of Enter the Dragon is the mission briefing, when Bruce Lee suggests a quick resolution to the problem: "Why don't you just take a gun and ... BANG!" The captain says, "This island is in international waters, so we can't use guns". Issue resolved. Kung fu begins.
