Summary: The best Bruce Lee flick
Review: Return of the Dragon is one of the best Bruce Lee movies made. Like all his movies, it is poorly dubbed and the acting is pretty atrocious and cheesy but at times it is hilarious. The action scenes are the best. The final fight scene with Chuck Norris is quite memorable.

Summary: Some cutted parts but it's OK !
Review: This is the last CHINESE movie that Lee did, before Enter the Dragon. In this movie Lee really showns (in my opinion) 2 things, his art (putting a spet forward when talking about SPEED !) and his phisic. At that time his training by himself, it'd make any Schzenegger get furious. His physical fitness is the best I've ever seen ... And his speed, own MAN ! But how can someone be that fast, that lighting with the legs ... But the movie has some cutted parts. For the ones who have seen the movie before should remeber about this parts: The one in which Lee doesn't know how to ask for a little boy some of his ice cream and he runs away (Lee scared him), the one in which Lee doesn't know how to ask for food in the Restaurant and keeps going to the toilet then, and the one in which a prostitute takes Lee to her apartment while Lee keeps doing some kung fu moviements in front of a mirror. But don't worry. THE FIGHTING SEQUENCES ARE ALL THERE AND COMPLETE.

Summary: Best of the Bruce Lee films.
Review: Lee truly expresses himself in this film because he had more control over every aspect in this film than in any other. If you really want to see Bruces abilities then this is the film to watch.

Summary: Fast hands just as fast feet
Review: This is the first bruce lee movie i ever owned or saw and I was pleasently surprised with it, as a matter of fact it sent me spining into the world of martial arts and kung fu movies. But all the Bruce Lee collection is equally good except Game of Death because he isnt in the whole movie because he died while filming. Bruce is so fast with his feet its no wonder he is amazing on screen i love this movie and the collection and you should check them out. The dubing isnt too bad but not great.The chuck noris and bruce lee fight is a pretty good end fight sceen too.

Summary: The Greatest Battle in Film History
Review: This movie, originally titled "Way of the Dragon" is a classic. This movie was written, directed, produced, and of course, starred by Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee, after his first two martial arts movies, gained enough financial clout to start his own production company and therefore, called the shots on this picture. It is witty, a little campy and unlike modern versions of love interest stories - this is pure. The most outstanding element however, is Bruce. He throws in a little "fighting" philosophy without resorting to "preachiness" and is perfect as the homespun and green hero. The fight sequences are fun and honest. The climated scene pits Bruce Lee against Chuck Norris, batting it out in the Roman Colessuem (and its staged set counter-part). This battle is also an expression of Lee's philosophy on a smaller guy battling a bigger-stronger opponent. This last battle is still the runnng favoriate among movie fight fans. An entertaining movie for most, but especially for martial arts enthusiast.

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: My Personal Favorite Bruce Lee Movie
Review: This was the first martial arts movie I had seen. It was 1981, and I had just gotten back from taking my SAT exam. I was exhausted, and I turned on The Movie Channel. It was about 20 minutes into the movie, and I was absolutely mesmerized by the image of Bruce Lee just kicking everybody's [...]. Bruce Lee became my idol in the course of 1 movie; since I was not the fighting type at the time, he seemed really cool because he was portraying a nice guy character that, when pushed, knew how to take care of himself (obvious understatement). After the movie was over, I looked in the phone book for martial arts schools. It changed at least one aspect of my life.
Oh yeah, it's a cool martial arts movie, with possibly the greatest fight scene (with Chuck Norris) ever filmed.

Summary: Missing Footage!
Review: This movie is a knockout and it was the first film Bruce Lee wrote and directed. The result: Better than "Fist of Fury" and better than "The Big Boss". I would give this dvd 5 stars hands down if it wasn't missing two very entertaining scenes. About a year ago I picked up the vhs version in the U.K then when I found out it was avalible on dvd I didn't think twice about buying it. When I watched it I noticed two scenes had been cut from the U.S dvd version. Here is a discription of both.
"Restaurant Scene": Bruce lee walks into a restaurant at the airport and sits down. He places his luggage on the seat next to him. He asks for eggs but the old waitress either doesnt have them or doesnt understand him (its hard to tell with such dodgy dubbing). After asking her a second time and getting no real response he opens the menu and points at several things. Seconds later he is givin five bowls of soup which he heaves down then burps, then pays, then walks out, then burps again.
Total time: 3min.
"Topless Scene": Bruce Lee is sitting on a public bench and a woman puts her arm around him. Then he goes back to her apartment and practices his martial arts in her mirror while she is in another room. She then stands behind him without any cloths on and Bruce Lee bails.
Total time: 1min 15sec
I think both these scenes give you more understanding of his charictor. Bruce Lee wrote and filmed them for the simple reason he wanted people to see them. Shame on whoever chopped them out!
My advice is if your a hardcore Bruce Lee fan go to www.hongkonglegneds.co.uk and not only will you find the uncut version of the film but there is also a bonus disk packed with extras and the film quality is so much better. However it is from England so you will need a multi-region dvd player to watch it.
