Superb Bruce Lee martial arts action here.
In this one, Bruce visits his relatives who run a Chinese restaurant in Rome. Whilst there, he soon realises that his family are being pressured into paying protection money to the local gang bosses. Bruce - playing a character called Tang - takes exception to this and vows to fight the bad guys, which he duly does. One by one, tougher and tougher hired hands are sent to stop him, from all over the world until, desperate, the main boss calls for Colt, an American martial artist with a reputation for ruthlessness. Defeat Colt, and Tang's family can run their business in peace.
The dramatic showdown between Colt and Tang in The Colosseum is spellbinding, making use of some stunningly dramatic camera angles and filming techinques, and Chuck and Bruce's fight is still the stuff of legend.
Top quality chop socky movie.
