Summary: WIDESCREEN! FINALLY!!!!
Review: it is soooooooooooooooo good to see a bruce lee classic like RETURN OF THE DRAGON on dvd. the way a classic should be seen letterboxed. it looks terrific! the print is clearer, the dubbing sounds more echoing here if you raise the volume. and bruce lee is bruce lee. he is wonderful and boy he is sorely missed. his famous sm:)e while battling bad guys here is priceless. i can't believe the gangsters have to be incredibly dopey! only chuck norris is the serious villain. the battle pitting lee vs. norris in rome's colisseum still is the best and most realistic fight i have ever seen. 1 major problem with the dvd. when i bought it july 4, the back of the case says there is a movie trailer. when i saw the menu page on tv, IT DOESN'T HAVE THE FEATURE! people in amazon take note of this. maybe some dvds have it and some don't. i was unlucky. i know it may be no big deal but i am a fan of film trailers and i wanted to see what this trailer was like in 1972. oh well. i still have the movie to watch and enjoy again and again. RETURN OF THE DRAGON & ENTER THE DRAGON: whatta double feature!

Summary: Bruce Lee's best
Review: This is perhaps the best martial arts (from a basic, pure karate perspective) movie, from the man who had started the whole martial arts revolution on screen and made it a household name. There are probably many martial artists who are, and were better than Bruce Lee, but no one compares to him when it comes to understanding the arts and how to project it on screen. His sense of choreographing fight scenes is still unmatched in the world of cinematic martial arts. This is the one simple reason what makes 'Return of the Dragon' the best of Lee's movies. The climatic battle scene with Chuck Norris remains the best-choreographed karate demonstration on screen, so far. He was perhaps the only true movie martial artist who could take of his shirt and have the male audience want a body like him. Like, 'Enter the Dragon', this movie didn't have a host of big-name martial arts stars like Jim Kelly, Yang Ze, and others. It had a relatively unknown Chuck Norris (to the rest of the world) after his reign as a seven-time US Karate champion, but the movie did make Norris a household name. Return of the Dragon remains Lee at his best, without all the glamor and high budget extravaganza of Enter the Dragon. If you like Bruce Lee, and martial arts, the buck stops here.

Summary: Funny, really funny
Review: I don't like this kind of movies, so maybe I shouldn't be writing the review, but I just need to say this. I was a teenager and was hanging out with my friends who liked Bruce Lee and this kind of thing. So I watched it with them. It was so hilarious I will never forget it. All those noises, screaming and fake noises when they are beating each other. It was the only movie of this kind I watched complete in my life. But what amazes me more is that I was the only person not taking it seriously in that room. When I was laughing my head off everybody else was like was concentrated and looking at me to shut up.
It may not even be this film the one I saw, but whatever. I just like to remember it.
3 stars for the heck of fun it is.

Summary: Lueng Chuan!! --DRAGON FIST---
Review: This in my opinion is the best "movie" that Bruce Lee starred in. Not only did he star in it, but wrote it, and directed it also. This is Bruce's work, and in my opinion his best work. The fighting was great, Bruce's charisma was great, the characters were great, the story, the comedy, the final showdown with Chuck Norris...Everything..!! It is just a great film and showcases how talented Bruce was, not only in martial arts, but as a writer, director, and actor. A definate MUST SEE for all Bruce Lee fans!!

Summary: One of the all-time great bad guy vs good buy battle scenes.
Review: [Note: The UK DVD version from Hong Kong Legends has (1)The best DVD quality. (2)The best DVD extras. (3)The proper TITLES for Bruce Lee films (The US titles are very muddled around).] Much of the cast from Fist of Fury (The Chinese Connection US title) are back in this Italian mobster / martial arts flick. The story is quite simply a case of the Italian mob trying to get the daughter of a recently deceased restaurant owner to sell the property over with little success and so they turn to violently disrupting the restaurant's clients and employees. Bruce Lee arrives from Hong Kong to solve the problem which allows for various set pieces involving lots of fist and foot action. Way of the Dragon (or Return of the Dragon US title) isn't a patch on Fist of Fury (The Chinese Connection US title) in terms of story or Bruce Lee kicking bad guys around the place but it does bolster some fine moments all the same including a very good final showdown with Chuck Norris in which both martial artists flex their wares before going at one on one. Although Bruce Lee has improved on his technique since the latter films this may disappoint those who where expecting more action than what was in Fist of Fury. The nunchaku scene is certainly less graphic or intense than the one in the Fist of Fury but at least he has two of them this time! There is also a very good scene involving a test bag kick which sends the bag holder flying and an okay kick-about on some wastelands but the end fight between Lee and Norris is really what this movie is about and this is probably the only reason why you should want to watch this. So get this movie to see one of the great Bruce Lee one on one battles, but choose Fist of Fury if you want to see Bruce Lee scrapping virtually non-stop.

Summary: The best of the 3 Hong Kong pictures........
Review: Return Of The Dragon is best known for it's climatic fight scene at the end of the movie. However, what gets lossed is the excellent battle between Bruce and the various thugs in the flick. Like his previous two films, this has bad acting, bad writing, laughable voice dubbing, etc. It is watchable because of one reason: Bruce Lee. Once again Bruce comes to a foreign land to help family. In Rome, some of his cousins are running a chinese resteraunt. They are being bullied into selling the land to a local crime syndicate. Bruce shows up to help them with their problem. I will give you one guess on how he deal with said problem. He kicks everyone's ass. I will say the acting and dialogue here is way better than his first two films. You can tell the budget was raised for this one. But even if you hate this movie, you must see it for the end battle between Bruce and Chuck Norris. At the time, Norris wasn't in movies. He was an american karate champion. He does give Bruce his best challenge in any movie I have seen him in. Their fighting styles are quite different and it's cool to see these two marial arts icons on screen fighting each other. To my knowledge, this is the only 'bad-guy' role Norris has done. He does it well. And setting the fight in the Roman Colosiums was a nice touch. You will notice, though that most of the fight is actually filmed in a cheap studio set made to look like the colosiums. It's a great fight and any martial arts fan owes it to themselves to see this battle. Just try not to get grossed out by how hairy Norris is. The rest of the film has some very good fights. There are 3 big ones, where Bruce takes on like 10 guys by himself. They are quite impressive. I think this is the best of the first three films he made. It's the most well rounded, best acted, and has one of the best fight scenes in movie history in it. Like the other movies in this boxed set, the DVD comes bare-bones. If you get the boxed set, though, it comes with a movie-style documentary, so it makes up for the fact that the flicks have no special features.

Summary: Bruce Lee's 2nd Best Film Behind Enter the Dragon!
Review: I am a hardcore Bruce Lee fan, owning all 3 of Lee's Hong Kong movies (On the Hong Kong Legends un-cut original audio track versions), Enter the Dragon: 25th Anniversery Edition DVD, Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey, Bruce Lee: The Master Collection DVD Set and about half a dozen documentaries and I can tell you with all honesty this is his most thrilling and fun movie to see (Behind Enter the Dragon) There is plenty of awesome martial-arts sequences which are still very impressive, the American-dubbed versions from FOX is hilarious to watch and Chuck Norris provides Lee with his most challenging advesary he ever fought. Some of the scenes in this classic is down right side-spliting ("I'd like some Chinese spare ribs") And what about that stupid, irritating Chinese man with that gay giggle! Man, he gets on your nerves. (Although Bruce Lee kicked his butt in Fist of Fury) Anyway, the main highlight of the film is of course the battle between Chuck Norris and the dragon, Bruce Lee. This fight is probably, in my opinion, the most realistic, brutal and awesome fight sequence ever captured on film (Forget Jackie Chan, that crazy monkey! Ok, he's fun to watch but he is nothing like the Legend) Other great fight scenes include the nunchuku alley-fight, the boss's HQ fight, Lee vs. Japanese Fighter and European Fighter and Lee vs. Norris. My friends and I always get a kick out of this one and his other excellent movies. So if you have not seen Return of the Dragon before check it out now and all his other kick-butt films. Long live Bruce Lee!

Summary: This is the greatest movie for Martial Artist
Review: This movie does not have a cool and exciting plot like Enter the Dragon or Chinese Connection. Bruce Lee even try to be funny. However, fighting scenes are awesome, I would say the best. He shows a lot of techniches, not like other movies. If you want to learn the move, buy this instead of buying Enter the Dragon.
