ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (425)

Thank you for joining us today

Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Porky Pig Looney Tunes cartoon, the 1936 Boom Boom (co-starring Beans), directed by Jack King.



This cartoon entered the public domain in 1964 as Seven Arts Productions forgot to renew the copyright when it was due.


Before the start of our feature presentation, the staff of The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like to watch another episode of The Puddles Pity Party Show -



Remember Dancing Goat's Coffee - gives you the energy you need to pretend to listen to people who are yammering on.


We've picked another entry from the excellent reference book, 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die by Steven Jay Schneider. Today's film is the 1973 martial arts classic Enter The Dragon, directed by Robert Clouse, and starring Bruce Lee, John Saxon, Ahna Capri, Bob Wall, Shih Kien and Jim Kelly. This was Bruce Lee's final completed film appearance before his death. It is the most successful martial arts film ever and is widely regarded as one of the greatest martial arts films of all time. In 2004, this movie was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" in the United States and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress. So push away from the table, get settled in and join us in watching Enter The Dragon.



By Hollywood standards, the film was a B-movie, yet every aspect of it from the acting to the direction was way above average for an action thriller. And, of course, the fight scenes are mesmerizing and unlike anything previously seen in American films.
