ENTER THE DRAGON

Released 1973 - Approx. 99 mins

More info. .


RETURN OF THE DRAGON

Released 1973 - Approx. 88 minutes
Starring: Bruce Lee, Chuch Norris, Nora Miao Ker Hsiu
Directed by: Bruce Lee

Featuring: Fight with Chuck Noris

Bruce Lee wrote and directed Return of the Dragon, his third film, a mix of hard-edged kung fu and goofy humor. Once again he plays the country boy who travels to a foreign land, in this case Italy, where his restaurant-owning cousins face trouble from the local syndicate. Their strong-arm tactics have driven customers away and now threaten the family, but Lee refuses to buckle under their pressure and takes them on in a series of impressive confrontations. The film ends with a memorable showdown with world-champion karate artist Chuck Norris in the Roman Colosseum (though much of it is staged in a rather cheap studio set), a brutal, almost inhuman battle that revels in the intense punishment taken by the combatants. More info. .


GAME OF DEATH

Released 1978 - Approx. 95 mins
Starring:  Bruce Lee, Gig Young, Dan Inosanto, Kareem Abdul Jabaar, Dean Jagger,
Colleen Camp and Hugh O'Brian
Directed by Robert Clouse

Featuring:  Bruce VS Dan Inosanto & Kareem Abdul Jabaar

Bruce Lee died after shooting only a few scenes of his ambitious Game of Death, but that didn't stop greedy producers from finishing and releasing "Lee's last film," even if he's doubled for most of it. Lee planned an ambitious expression of his fighting philosophy, and his story culminates in the rigorous challenge of the "Game of Death," in which combatants take on successively greater and greater masters as they fight their way to the top of a tower..
