Cast

Reception

According to website Cityonfire, "Enter Three Dragons isn't as wacky as 'The Clones of Bruce Lee,' but there's definitely enough unintentional entertainment that makes it just as fun." They rated the film 6 out of 10. However, the movie frequently confusese audiences due to its random additional fight scenes and edits. 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."

Alternate titles and production

The film was released internationally under multiple alternate titles, which confused some audiences. In Korea, the film was released under the title Three Avengers. Meanwhile, in the U.S., the film was titled Dragon on Fire, which also happens to be an alternate title of The Dragon, the Hero (featuring John Liu and Dragon Lee), creating confusion around both Enter Three Dragons and Dragon on Fire.

The U.S. production was done by Samuel Wall (who appeared as Sammy in the movie); however, it was credited to Joseph Lai and Tomas Tang.

Godfrey Ho was co-director of this film.[citation needed]
