n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Bruce Lee's "The Way of the Dragon" is a good movie but at the same time it is an action movie with many major flaws, but let me be clear I'm not being generous to this movie at all. The movie was Lee's only film as a director, and he also wrote the screenplay for the movie all by himself, and he stars in it as well. The main character of the movie is about a Chinese man named Tang Lung (Bruce Lee) who comes to Italy from Hong Kong just to visit some of his relatives and there he has a girlfriend named Chen Ching Hua (Nora Miao) who works at a restaurant owned by "Uncle" Wang (Chung-Hsin Huang) who also has a lot of aspiring martial artists who work as chefs at his restaurant and their restaurant is been threatened by a local gang who wants to take ownership of the restaurant. For most of the movie I was pretty bored with the dialogue but it wasn't entirely Lee's fault because at the time he wasn't very experienced in the movie business, and this movie would happen to be one of his very first and very last movies after dying at the age of 32 on July 20, 1973. Anyway I say that in the normal scenes throughout most of the movie Lee treats this movie like a romantic type of movie so that we can get to know his character and the rest of the characters throughout the course of this movie but then again it would have been better if he had made the dialogue much more interesting instead of really boring. But now let's get back to the story. Then as the movie goes on Lee's character keeps removing the criminals from that restaurant and then the gang hires an American martial artist named Colt (Chuck Norris) in order to kill him which the only thing that I can tell you other than the two of them square off against each other is that their fight takes place in the Roman Colosseum. During the battle between the Lee and Norris characters we see a major plot twist involving his friends of which I will not reveal. The only area of this movie where this is entertaining is the scenes where the action sequences which are expertly choreographed by Bruce Lee. If Bruce Lee (who was the greatest martial artist of all time) had lived longer people highly believe that he would have become a very popular action star like Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, and Arnold Schwarzenegger among many others. This movie could have been better but i'm still recommending it for those die hard Bruce Lee fans out there.

A man visits his relatives at their restaurant in Italy and has to help them defend against brutal gangsters harassing them. Today marks the 43rd Anniversary of the Legendary Bruce Lee and i thought to review 2 of my favorite movies with him. The first one is The Way of The Dragon that has this iconic fight scene where Lee goes against Chuck Norris and in my opinion one of Norris best movies ever that not only it's serious but it's also not dumb. Another great scene is also when he started going against a whole army and minutes before you see his body and he was ripped as hell if Bruce was still alive he would definitely make more movies that's for sure but for the little time he stayed with us he gave us some of the best martial arts films of all time!!!

Watching Bruce Lee go up ageist Chuck Norris is the only reason to see this movie. I'm always surprised by how many movies Bruce Lee made in his short time span as a movie star. This is one of the movies I always thought I saw but I realize I only saw the big battle. I just became aware that the English dub did a disservice to the comedic styles of Mr. Bruce Lee. Some of the jokes are lost in translation. I understood that everyone in the film is speaking a different language but conflicts caused by miscommunication still made no sense when their done all in English, so the movie suffered greatly for that. The epic battle was pretty basic and it didn't last long in comparison to what you would see today, but it stands the test of time as one of the greatest marshal arts battles on screen. From the part where the two Titans are preparing for battle to the point where Chuck smartly adjust his style in order to try to beat Bruce. Even the cat who gets bored while watching the toughest men to step foot on the face of the earth added to the enjoyment. I hope to one day see a English sub titled version. Maybe then I will enjoy it more, but is still gets a high grade for the battle of the century.
