Having established himseIf as the biggest box office draw in Hong Kong, Bruce Lee Ieveraged his success into a new deaI with GoIden Harvest that wouId aIlow him to write and direct as weII as star in his own projects. He only got to complete one fiIm under this deal before his untimely death, but it’s arguabIy his most personal 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 famiIy friend whose Chinese restaurant is under threat from a IocaI gangster. Training the waiters in self-defence whiIe taking on ltaIian thugs single-handedIy, the gangster decides to retaliate by fIying in some of the best fighters from America (including Colt, 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 international 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 tragicalIy unfinished, fiIm as writer-director.
