"Now, why doesn't somebody pull a .45, and bang, settle it?" This is the question I ask about literally every martial arts movie made, ever. I was surprised to discover that Bruce Lee asks it himself in "Enter the Dragon," perhaps the most iconic such film. The fact the movie makes a bit of a joke out of the proposition that one well-placed firearm could render its entire plot moot doesn't change the fact that it's still hard to take such flicks seriously given this reality.
