Fast sell:

The film that made Bruce Lee an icon and one of the biggest movie stars in the world. He plays a martial artist who travels to Italy to defend a relative’s restaurant from local gangsters. Though it’s as much a culture clash comedy as a martial arts film, it features some of Lee’s most famous action scenes.

Key talent:

Synopsis:

When gangsters harass Chen (Nora Miao) and her uncle, they ask relatives in Hong Kong to send help to Rome and help defend their restaurant. Before long, expert fighter Tang Lung (Bruce Lee) arrives and leads the restaurant staff in an uprising against the gangsters.

But determined to take over the restaurant, the mob hires a deadly American sensei to destroy Tang in a climactic battle to the death!

We like it because:

Not only the film that put Bruce Lee on the international movie map, it’s his first film as director – and the only one he would fully complete before his tragic death.

The result is something quite surprising – while action-packed, The Way of the Dragon is also a departure from the darker films he’d previously starred in and plays up to the inherent comedy of the culture-clash as Lee’s Hong Kong native arrives in Rome.

It features some of his most iconic fight sequences, including his legendary showdown with Chuck Norris – still a master-class in martial arts cinema over 40 years later.
