The Bruce Lee movie that everyone forgets about. It was possibly his best. The story was actually well put together, and the movie had a real message about class struggles. It takes more than one man to change things, but all change starts with one man. Great ending too!

The Way of the Dragon (Return of the Dragon)
Had the best sound of all the Bruce Lee flicks. A great punch-fest all throughout. Loved the fight with Chuck “wolfman” Norris at the end. For a brief time in my life, this was my favorite movie of all time. Either this or “the Chinese Connection” was Bruce’s best film.
Game of Death
Bruce Lee’s death was tragic. He had so much more living to do. I’d love to see what Bruce would be doing these days if he was still around. He was just starting to work on this movie when he died. He’d only filmed a few “test scenes”, and those are shown in all their glory at the end. The rest of this “movie” is utterly awful. The story is completely different than what Bruce had intended. If you rent this, do yourself a favor and forward to the end, don’t even bother with the rest of it.
Fists of Fury
Bruce Lee’s first real movie (not counting those made when he was a little kid). I wasn’t too impressed with it actually – there wasn’t a whole lot of action, and the action was the best part. Throughout the first half of the movie, Bruce won’t even fight! I guess that’s supposed to make his rage at the end all the more real. I think this would have been better if it started out “years earlier” with flashbacks of Bruce taking on multitudes of crazed kung-fu thugs. That way, we’d better understand why he wouldn’t fight now. (Plus it would satisfy my needs as a bloodthirsty moviegoer).
Enter The Dragon
Bruce Lee’s big Hollywood movie… and probably his worst. Who the hell was that stupid looking washed-up surfer turned “karate-man”? This could have been done so much better. Still, there are a few great moments of classic Bruce.
