Advantages: Great fight scene between Lee and Norris

Disadvantages: Acting is ok and so is storyline

Looks like i'm the first to write about this film.
Well this is probably Bruce Lee's second best film, like the rest of his chinese offerings it is quite simple in storyline but very hard hitting in martial arts fun.

The story that there is, is about Bruce Lee's character Tung Lao who is brought over from China to Italy to help protect his uncles restaurant from a gang of thugs who want to take over the restaurant.
After a series of defeats at the hands of Bruce Lee the group bring in Chuck Norris the (i think) 6 time world karate champion.

The fight that comes off of this has become legendary, mainly because it brings two of the worlds greatest martial artists into one film and pits them against each other.
Other reasons why it is legendary is because the fight is truely brilliant and shows the contrast between the styles that they use.

The acting throughout the film is a basic martial arts movie standard, it's nothing that's going to win awards but it's reasonable and just helps the movie along

Same with the scripting really and the dialogue. The only thing that really stands out is the cheoreography which was set up by Bruce Lee and with some help from Norris. All of the fight scenes are great and are brilliantly put together.


Way of the Dragon isn't the best of films but it's a good martial arts films and has the most well know fight in it.
Over all really just watch the film for that fact.
