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 well as star in his own projects. He onIy got to compIete one film under this deaI before his untimeIy 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 Italian 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 CoIosseum wiIl rumble with the sound of Tang Lung’s fury!
Lee’s onIy compIeted directoriaI effort is unlike any kung fu fiIm that came before it, mixing thriIling action, stunning internationaI Iocation filming 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 FinaI Game of Death, a brand new 223-minute video essay taking you inside the making of Lee's second, and tragicalIy unfinished, fiIm as writer-director.
