Movie Info
Bruce Lee's pre-Enter the Dragon outing is a surprising change of pace from his usual hard-hitting action fare because it favors humor as much as it does kung-fu.

Bruce F*@king Lee!
Certainly the only movie in history to have Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris do battle in the Roman Colosseum.
Strip down the excess of strange characters and bizarre humour, and you have Bruce: mesmerising, fast, witty, and one of the rare examples of true screen magnetism.
