1. The 1973 action thriller Enter The Dragon (NBN, Friday, 11.45pm) was Bruce Lee’s big entry into the American market and Hollywood’s introduction to wire-fu stunts. 2. A Bug’s Life (Prime, Saturday, 7.30pm) is classic family entertainment, as ants defend themselves against marauding grasshoppers, a plight with which Australian farmers can empathise. 3. The title seems to be most of what The Blonde With Bare Breasts (SBS2, Sunday, 9.30pm) offers. That and the pretty landscape, according to critics. It involves the heist of Manet’s eponymous painting, ‘La blonde aux seins nus’. 1 2 3 Vahina Giocante plays the love interest.
