Logo for The Movie That Changed My Life - Episode 4

Please take your seats and switch off your mobile phones, as Radio 2 heads to the movies with six well-known figures choosing their favourite film. In programme four, Spandau Ballet's Martin Kemp chooses the landmark martial arts film Enter The Dragon. It was the first kung fu film to have been made by a major Hollywood studio and paved the way for the genre of films which have developed into the supernatural modern legends which include Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Enter the Dragon is largely set in Hong Kong in the 1980s, "an impossible place" in the mind of the young Kemp, then a teenager. The film called on the best stuntmen in town, the Seven Little Fortunes including Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung. In this programme, Kemp kicks and flips his way through his life changing film.
