After the back-to-back triumphs of The Big Boss and Fist of Fury, Bruce Lee was given the chance to write, produce, and direct his third outing as a martial-arts superstar. He used the opportunity to add a touch of goofily entertaining comedy to the typically action-driven proceedings in The Way of the Dragon, which finds him playing a rigorously trained martial artist who travels from Hong Kong to Rome to help his cousin, whose restaurant is being threatened by a gang of thugs. Reaching new heights of physical virtuosity, Lee unleashes an astonishing display of nunchuck-swinging, fly-kicking mayhem, all culminating in one of his most breathtaking fights: an epic gladiatorial death match with Chuck Norris in the Roman Colosseum.

"The Way of the Dragon" is a legendary movie. Perhaps not so much because Bruce Lee plays in it, but mainly because Chuck Norris also appears in it. He still plays without his specific beard, but what is much more significant is the fact that Bruce and Chuck have a showdown in the final fight, but it's not Chuck who wins, on the contrary. It's Bruce Lee who emerges from the fight as the victor and Chuck is the one who dies in the fight. It's probably the only movie where this happens. Something like Steven Seagal and his death in "Boeing 747 in Peril". But not to just highlight Chuck's presence, I have to say that Bruce again showed what he is capable of and sold his experience gained in movies, as well as his philosophical and fighting path. He has an incredibly chiseled chest. When you see him warming up and stretching, you'll say to yourself that he really could break rocks. Every fight of his is worth it, as well as his comedic, often grotesque performances. He is truly a loss. More: http://www.filmovy-denik.cz/2012/05/kung-fu-dewey-cox-zkrocena-hora-12-opic.html
