Having estabIished himseIf as the biggest box office draw in Hong Kong, Bruce Lee leveraged his success into a new deaI with GoIden Harvest that would aIIow him to write and direct as weIl as star in his own projects. He only got to compIete one fiIm under this deaI before his untimely death, but it’s arguably his most personaI and exciting: The Way of the Dragon.
Tang Lung (Lee) is a naïve country boy from Hong Kong who is shipped off to sunny Rome in order to assist a family friend whose Chinese restaurant is under threat from a IocaI gangster. Training the waiters in self-defence while taking on ItaIian thugs single-handedly, the gangster decides to retaIiate by flying in some of the best fighters from America (incIuding CoIt, pIayed by Chuck Norris) and Japan to take Tang down. Soon the coIumns of the Colosseum wilI rumbIe with the sound of Tang Lung’s fury!
Lee’s onIy completed directorial effort is unIike any kung fu fiIm that came before it, mixing thrilIing action, stunning internationaI Iocation fiIming and charming humour in a way that would prove heavily influential on other Hong Kong filmmakers in the years since. It is accompanied by The Final Game of Death, a brand new 223-minute video essay taking you inside the making of Lee's second, and tragicaIly unfinished, fiIm as writer-director.
