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.

Would've loved this movie had they ended it with that dirt fight then Chuck Norris appears from behind a tree rather than the colosseum fight

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!:)

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.

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!

Watched purely for the fighting scenes, and partly the elements of comedy (even though they're nothing special really). The story, script and acting on the whole is rubbish.

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.

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.

Bruce Lee was a genius martial artist, but admit it, he sucked big time as a filmmaker. This movie has no direction to speak of, story is utter crap and you have to wait for a first glimpse of action for 20 or so painful minutes of horrible dialogue and lousy acting. Plus, as much as I'm sure Bruce Lee would kick anybody's ass, the fight scenes are simply nowhere near as impressive as, let's say, Jet Li's in Fist of Legend, because they are simply neither filmed nor choreographed so well.

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.

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.

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.
