Review: THIS ONE WAS MADE BEFORE BUT RELEASED AFTER ENTER. IN THIS ONE, LEE GOES TO ROME TO HELP OUT A COUSIN WHO'S RESTARAUNT IS BEING TERRORIZED BY LOCAL GANGSTERS. YET ANOTHER MASTERPIECE FROM THE LEGENDARY BRUCE LEE. THIS ONE NOT ONLY HAS GREAT MARTIAL ARTS ACTION, BUT IT ALSO HAS GREAT HUMOR TO GO ALONG WITH IT. AND THE BATTLE AT THE END BETWEEN BRUCE LEE AND CHUCK NORRIS IS EXCELLENT. LEE HAS DONE IT AGAIN. HE'S MADE ANOTHER MASTERPIECE THAT WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR YEARS. DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS ONE. AND IF YOU DON'T ALREADY HAVE IT, YOU SHOULD REALLY GET IT.

Summary: The Master's Masterpiece!!!
Review: ENTER THE DRAGON was very fun to watch, and was cool because it was the only one of Bruce's movies where you could hear his voice. BUT, RETURN (which was originally called WAY OF THE DRAGON, but renamed for the U.S. release) was Bruce's only turn as director and features him battling Chuck Norris in The Roman Coliseum. ABSOLUTELY BRUCE LEE'S BEST (certainly one of his funniest.) Just sit back and watch the master in action.

Summary: Phenominal !!!
Review: The Return of the Dragon , although dated , in one of the best Lee movies filmed. The plot is rahter silly , but what do you want ? Terms of Endearment or Bruce Lee being forced into dilemmas, that make him kick, major...? Exactly. regardless of the plot , however , the viewer can't helped but become entranced in Lee's convincing and dedicated performance as an out of town relative, that comes to work for his uncle , who's being forced into selling his restaurant, by a gang of violent thugs. as you would expect , Lee won't stand for that. I mean that literally , because he's always off of his feet , kicking someone in the face. The alley scenes are hilarious and cleverly shot. But the definate highlight of this film is the showdown in the greek colosiums with a very young Chuck Norris. The filming was clever and imaginative , and there's an early attempt and a dolly shot (when Bruce is walking through the colosium). As for the showdown ? It's a classic fight that ends with even more class. I won't spoil it for you , but it goes to show that respect for an opponant is just as important as the actual fight itself. Ironic, that these philosophies are highlighted in Mr. Lee's overseas films , but not so much in the american one(s). I could get political and go into who decides what should be edited and why, but I won't get into a buch of rhetoric. i'll just say that this is a must have for any collector and a must see for any kung fu fan that hasn't.

Summary: a very very poor release of a classic lee film
Review: this dvd is poor no extras no multi language option and its not even the complete version.
the region 2 disc has both orignal language with subtitles and dubbed versions.
also its in widescreen on region 2 the way it should be its about time they gave u.s fans the version they want.
check out the region 2 disc if you can with lots of nice extras and a superb audio commentry with co star jonn benn.

Summary: Bruce Lee vs. Chuck Norris
Review: Two-thirds of Return of the Dragon are slow and boring as far as I'm concerned, but the reason I give this movie a second star is because of the final showdown between Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris. Unfortunately, that last fight scene was not as long as I hoped it would be.

Summary: Fighting, comedy, betrayal - This film has it all!
Review: This is probably my favourite Bruce Lee movie, not just because of the fighting, but because it is so funny. If you watch this film a number of times it will get funnier and funnier. I really like the 4 top thugs who come to the restaurant at night posing as customers. They are so funny. Yes I am talking about the big tall clumsy one in the bellbottoms, the one who laughs and says nothing, mr. "chinese spare ribs"(i just love the way he talks) and of course mamma mia. Some more funny parts are tang lo's friends at the restaurant - tony,jimmy,thomas,robert and au cheung, and Uncle Wong.(funny how most their names are not chinese.) Bruce has funny scenes with Ms. Chen like "Can I use your toilet"? But by far the funniest scenes in the movie are between Boss and Mr. Ho. Like how Mr. Ho always fails to please the boss.("yes boss! yes boss! havent you wasted enough time!") And that little gay-like giggle Ho does just cracks me up every time. I really like it when he comes to the restaurant during the new years celebration. In the end he sets the restauranters up with a big fight and hilariously watches from a tree. It then later leads to the Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris battle in the colliseum. Great movie. But dont trust that uncle wong.

Summary: It's Bruce All The Way!
Review: This GREAT action flick, written, directed, & produced (and starring) Bruce Lee is one of my favorite martial-arts films of all time.The plot centers around gangsters in Italy trying to force a Chinese restaurant to sell out. When they refuse, the mafia pushes & the restaurant owners ask a friend of theirs, a "country bumpkin" from Hong-Kong's New Territories to help out. However, THIS bumpkin is no ORDINARY bumpkin, because he just happens to be a kung-fu expert! Mixing LOTS of subtle humor (by playing upon the audience's expectations about stereo-types) & breaking the conventions & rules of Hong-Kong martial-arts films of the time (for instance, filming in Italy!), this film is probably, in my opinion, Bruce Lee's finest film. (That's no coincidence, since he had TOTAL artistic control over it!) The fight scenes are also very realistic, as far as flashy kung-fu fight choreography goes. The fight with Chuck Norris at the end, in the Roman Coliseum (to symbolize the two fighters as modern day gladiators) is one of the best ever filmed. It still stands up today, even when compared to the likes of Jackie Chan & Jet Li. And then there's the dialogue! Most kung-fu movies from the 1970's have lines that are UNINTENTIONALLY funny, in a b-movie sort of way. The lines in this film are funny, because Lee intended them to be! (The "Chinese spareribs" line & the "Chinese boxer" line are examples of Lee's hip wit!) If you can get this in widescreen format (& in it's original language format), the better. If not, it's still worth buying. Despite the "R" rating, there really isn't any gore or excessive violence, thus making "Return of The Dragon" (or "Way of The Dragon", as it's originally titled) appropriate fare for the entire family.

Summary: Good Movie, Could Be Better
Review: It's hard to imagine that his film has been out for almost 30 years ago. It's about Lee, who came from Hong Kong to help his uncle's friends who run a restaurant in Rome, Italy, from thugs. The movie "Rumble In The Bronx" with Jackie Chan stole the idea from this film and made a few changes so it could be non-infringement. This film was half comedy and half martial art, though, still enjoyable. You can see the fightings are kinda slow and the blows barely touched. If you're into more martial art actions I would recommend "Enter The Dragon".
