Return of the Dragon

Pros: The Master in motion; the fight with Norris in the Coliseum. Bruce Lee directs.
Cons: Dubbing, the script.

Way of the Dragon (Meng Long Guo Jiang) (1972) Directed by Bruce Lee "Oh, what rippling muscles! We don't want to kill you."  Ho, after copping a cheap feel of Tang Lung's pecs and abs. One of the handful of Chop Sockey ...

Pros: Bruce Lee's fighting skills and charisma
Cons: Thin plot (but no thinner than 90% of genre movies)

In many ways, "Way of the Dragon" (aka "Return of the Dragon") is Bruce Lee's lowest-regarded movie, although it was the only one of his four completed films that he wrote and directed, as well as starred in.

To be sure, the plot devices are...

Pros: Bruce Lee in his purest martial arts styles
Cons: poor dubbing , weak plot

When Bruce Lee( 1940-1973)suddenly died in
Hong Kong in 1973, the world was shocked in
grief and disbelief. He was found uncons-
cious in his hotel room by a lady friend
and later died in a hospital.

Reports of his death...

Pros: You get to see the film as it was intended. Plot makes more sense when seen in Chinese.
Cons: Subtitles (for some who don't like them); poor quality video and sound; hard to find

If you haven't seen the original Chinese version of Way of the Dragon, then you've missed a big part of the plot. To begin, the title "Return of the Dragon" was used since this film was released after Enter the Dragon here in the US. It was...

Pros: The fight between Chuck and Bruce
Cons: The begining

Perhaps the thing that sets Bruce's movies apart from the myriad of action hacks that followed him is not his unparalleled kung fu choreography but rather his powerful screen presence. He brings to his characters, including Tang Lung, the same charisma,...

Pros: It's inexpensive to buy.
Cons: You'll wish you hadn't bought it.

Don't get me wrong - I think Bruce Lee is a great martial artist, and "Enter The Dragon" set the standard for a whole new wave of martial arts movies.

However, "Return Of The Dragon" not only drags, it fails miserably to...

Pros: BRUCE
Cons: should have been more BRUCE

Stand back, make way, the Man has entered and we should all give BRUCE the respect he deserves. Another GREAT action/fighting movie starring the late GREAT Bruce Lee.
Being the Bruce-aholic fan that I am, seeing all of his films over and...

Pros: Bruce Lee vs. Chuck Norris
Cons: Chuck Norris at his physical ugliest, evil, ugly,white bastard bad guy gets arrested instead of beaten to death by Bruce

Next to my father, and Jesus,Bruce Lee is my biggest hero. Ever since I first saw "Enter the Dragon" as a kid, I've been huge Bruce fan. As the years passed, I began to read his philosophies,(pick up his book Tao of Jeet Kune Do if you have the...

Pros: Action
Cons: Story

This was the best of bests kunfu action movies. Nothing can beat Bruce Lee. His perfect action and movement can not be copied by anyone. The first time I saw this movie was 1974. I was a kid but it was such an impact. I copied his move for weeks and...
