Starring: Bruce Lee, Nora Miao, Chuck Norris, Wei Ping-Ao, Wang Chung Hsin, Robert Wall, Whang Ing-Sik. Directed by: Bruce Lee
This is the only movie Bruce Lee had the chance to both act in and direct before he died in 1973. It was also the movie that gave Chuck Norris's career as a martial arts and action star a huge boost.
In "Way of the Dragon", Bruce plays Tang Lung, a Chinese martial artist who is sent from Hong Kong to Rome to help his friend's niece Chen Ching Hua (Miao), her dad, and co-workers fend off a local Mafia syndicate who want the restaurant for themselves. The mobsters are well-armed and well trained in the martial arts, but can they defeat Tang Lung. Also, can Tang Lung defeat the world-famous martial artists they send to defeat and kill him?
Chuck Norris plays the karate expert Colt, who is the only one of the fighters able to communicate with Tang Lung, who does not speak Italian. Despite the duel the two fight, they are also still able to recognize each other as fellow martial artists.
This movie is one of the most well-known kung fu movies in the world and stars the most famous martial artist and kung fu star of them all. Also, to see Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris fight is simply amazing. This is one you must see and see now if you already haven't!
