This sort of stuff is magnificently silly, and Lee, to give him credit, never tried to rise above it.
April 29, 2018 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review… -
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.
May 30, 2001 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… -
hampered by a rather pedestrian plot and, more problematically, some awkward direction and an inconsistent tone that renders some parts of the film absurd while other parts work quite well
March 8, 2021 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review… -
From the start, spunky xylophone-infused music inspires a humorous tone, like that of Jackie Chan's late '70s features.
August 31, 2020 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review… -
Injecting a bit of cultural humor which feels Chaplinesque, this is more lighthearted and well-rounded for Lee compared to the two previous features.
August 26, 2020 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review… -
The frenzied action culminates with a sensational brawl between Lee and Chuck Norris.

Audience Reviews for Return of the Dragon

Oct 08, 2014This is probably Bruce Lee's best known, and most beloved film, which he directed, starred in, and dubbed. While the plot isn't especially new, and the humor is so amazingly corny, the action more than makes up for it. The film is set in Rome, which warrants many great sights, and an interesting setting. Lee's character helps saves a tiny restaurant from the clutches of the mafia, and they retaliate against him by calling Chuck Norris from America to come fight him. The fight between Lee and Norris has got to be one of the best onscreen, in film history. Each choreographs very interesting moves, there's a savagery to their vendetta, and it underlines the clear skill of both fighters. If there's any Bruce Lee film that you need to see, it's this very fast paced, and very badly dubbed adventure.Spencer S Super Reviewer

Jun 07, 2013Bruce Lee fighting Chuck Norris in the Roman Colosseum 70s style is enough for me to declare this a potential manly celluloid device to cause the Universe to implode out of epicness. 91/100Edgar C Super Reviewer

Dec 22, 2011Bruce Lee plus comedy equal gold in Return of the Dragon. While it's a unusual movie compared to other of Bruce Lee classic, it'a still a entertaining to watch. Bruce Lee both wrote and directed Return of the Dragon, by watching the movie you wouldn't be able to tell it's Bruce Lee first and only time directing a movie. Like his Martial Arts, he does it with grace and flows easily to watch. Main plot is Bruce Lee plays a man who visits his relatives at their restaurant in Italy and has to help them defend against brutal gangsters harassing them. It has a good blend of drama and humor, though I think it lack in Martial Art when compared to Enter the Dragon or Fists of Fury. It's still to this day that Bruce Lee died unprecedentedly, he had a bright future many more bright ideas. This movie reminds us of what could have been a legendary career of Martial Art cinema Icon.Caesar M Super Reviewer
