A Shaolin temple Monk has gone bad. The authorities know he is involved with drugs, some women have been found dead because of heroin overdose, but can't prove anything... that's where Lee (Bruce Lee) comes in...

... there's a once every three years martial arts tournament organized on the bad guy's island coming up... Bruce, go see what's up... and, by the way, the guy killed your sister...

"Those sumo's were clearly taking the p', stopping like they were statues when the master of ceremonies welcomed our hero's to the martial arts tournament... I want my money back!"

"Those weren't sumo's you idiot, they were belly rubbers."

"Mr tall martial arts man: My! what a nice frizzly haired perm you have my dear, but how rotten you were to those fine upstanding officers of the law!"

"Some of the fight scenes are really quite realistic."

"I always find it amazing that the baddy never grabs Lee's neck from behind, there's no getting out of that one."

"Has everything, including the Asian baddy with the white cat! Bravisimo!"

Everyone is slapped or kicked to unconsciousness by our hero.

In a room filled with mirrors, the baddy gets punished but only after scratching our hero's upper body and left facial cheek just enough for the iconic posters.

The imprisoned black coats are then released and they beat up the white coats. Everything then ends, the bad guy is dead. Not sure what happened to the white cat though...

One has always fancied oneself as a martial artist, but could never be much bothered to turn up for class, let alone to launder ones white togs to the required fluorescence. The kicks alone are justification for the screams of 'Bravisimo' which left ones mouth at times during this enterprise. However, one is unsure if this movie would have been half as revered had its star not died before this movie was released.

Bruce Lee went to bed early one eve with a headache and didn't regain consciousness. An open verdict was returned, the most likely cause was a swollen brain from too many hits to the head. Of course, conspiracy theories spread across the world, and this movie became a smash hit and Bruce Lee became a massive star.

One of the first Asians in a lead role in a (sort of) US movie. Lead actor (Bruce Lee) dies in mysterious circumstances in real life (or at least that's what they said when the movie's release was delayed due to it).
