This was Bruce Lee's cinema debut. After his success in Hong Kong his film made the journey to the states where prejudice still ran high in 1971. The film was an overnight success and paved the way for Bruce in American cinema with Enter The Dragon. This was also the worlds first real taste of a martial arts film. Not ...
