Our take

Forever settling the question of who would win in a fight—Bruce Lee or Chuck Norris?—this action-comedy struck a huge hit at the height of Lee’s stardom. Lee’s sizzling directorial debut, and the first Hong Kong production to shoot in Europe, this is ’70s kung fu at its most un-self-conscious best!
