Way of the Dragon (1972)

Sometimes titled with the definite article and sometimes without, WotD is the film in which Bruce Lee fights Chuck Norris in a Roman coliseum, like modern day gladiators, while a kitty cat spectator sits on high. Beyond that it's basically the same old story: Bruce's character arrives from overseas and helps some family members that are being exploited, this time in the restaurant business; there's an attractive woman (Nora Miao) for him to engage with; a traitorous countryman weasels about; and it culminates in a death match that enables Lee to show how lightning fast he really was.
It was the only film that Bruce got to direct before he died; he did well, especially on the finale. He also wrote and co-produced the work.
