Some sweet fights (the alley fight in particular) and the showdown with Bruce vs Chuck Norris at the Coliseum is the greatest thing Chuck has ever done. A classic.

I found most of the fights pretty lackluster, probably because they're not stylized, but it makes up for that with a lot of laughs.

Half terrible, half amazing. For the most part, "Way of the Dragon" is shoddily directed, shot, acted and paced with terrible dialogue...but who cares? We're here to see Bruce Lee fighting Chuck Norris and it's awesome.

The sequence in which is Ch. Norris beaten by Bruce Lee is the most expensive film trick ever - Chuck actually killed Bruce Lee. Six times.

Full Points for being the only film bold enough to have both THE Chuck Norris AND THE Bruce Lee in a fight against each other. This film has some serious fucking balls.

Lee wrote & directed this, which isn't a good thing. The humor is 2 cheesy 4 words & the direction is at times (esp. during the drawn-out beginning) awkward enough 2 easily fit into some early 70's porn flick. The characters r almost all literally caricatures, but one comes 2 a movie like this 4 kicks 2 the face, not dialogue. The fight scenes usually thrill (w/ Lee never shy about showing off)& the batlle w/ Chuck Norris (interestingly shot by using a kitten as counterpoint) is one of his best

Yes it's a silly contrived story, has really dated flat humour and the acting is pretty bad but good God Bruce Lee is absolutely awesome when he fights. This is my first Bruce Lee film and I can honestly see why he was held in such high regard. He's not only fast but looks incredible when fighting. Plus the climatic battle between him and Chuck Norris is unforgettable. I wish I could give it a higher score but, while the fighting is some of the best I've seen, the rest isn't very good.

once again bruce lee does some pretty sweet fighting in a pretty horrible movie, everything down to the fuzzy picture is of a mediocre at best quality. the only thing worth it in this movie is that bruce lee fights chuck norris, that's at least worth saying you saw.

Exciting, vicious fights throughout, great scenery throughout Italy, and a memorable final showdown between Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris. It's nothing special, and is a little overrated because of Bruce Lee (much like the man himself), but it's nonetheless a perfectly good kung fu film.

It's all about Bruce. Dude is amazing to watch. As a movie, it's pretty stupid.

Take out all the action scenes and you have an hour of unfunny comedy and stupid characters. However, seeing Bruce Lee in action is such a great experience that it becomes impossible to truly dislike the film (even though it isn't very good). The final confrontation contains my two favorite things in this world: kittens, and Chuck Norris getting his stupid ass beaten like a chump.

Kinda like if Enter the Dragon had been a sitcom (and a hideously bad one at that). Wasn't helped by a horrendous dub job--but I could see that the hamminess was in the original as well. Score interlaced "On a Clear Day..." with spaghetti westerns. Only the fighting (especially the finale at the Colosseum) was at all interesting. Hard to believe that Bruce had been making movies all his life, what with his merciless 3 Stooges-style mugging throughout (a plethora of "wah wah WAHHH" moments).

This is my favorite of Bruce Lee movies. I like Bruce, I like Italy and like that Bruce is in Italy taking out the mob. The fight between Bruce and Chuck Norris and his hairy back was legendary.

Another amazing Bruce Lee classic! At this point in his career I think he started to realize what made a well-rounded movie and a 3D character. Chuck Norris lost people!

Mexican standoff between Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris and a kitten! The only film Bruce wrote and directed. His character is righteous and simple country bumpkin. A stereotype popular in Chinese comedies. One of the villains is a bizarre caricature of a queer. So yea, it's cheesiest film with Lee, but the fight scenes are great. Karate have nothing on Chinese boxing!:)

Yeah, it's not that good of a movie, but the ridiculous story and dialogue along with the great fight scenes and the awesomness of Bruce Lee are what make this movie good for me
