Movie Reviews of Return of the Dragon
Movie Review: Bruce Lee's best
Summary: 5 Stars
This is perhaps the best martial arts (from a basic, pure karate perspective) movie, from the man who had started the whole martial arts revolution on screen and made it a household name. There are probably many martial artists who are, and were better than Bruce Lee, but no one compares to him when it comes to understanding the arts and how to project it on screen. His sense of choreographing fight scenes is still unmatched in the world of cinematic martial arts. This is the one simple reason what makes 'Return of the Dragon' the best of Lee's movies. The climatic battle scene with Chuck Norris remains the best-choreographed karate demonstration on screen, so far. He was perhaps the only true movie martial artist who could take of his shirt and have the male audience want a body like him. Like, 'Enter the Dragon', this movie didn't have a host of big-name martial arts stars like Jim Kelly, Yang Ze, and others. It had a relatively unknown Chuck Norris (to the rest of the world) after his reign as a seven-time US Karate champion, but the movie did make Norris a household name. Return of the Dragon remains Lee at his best, without all the glamor and high budget extravaganza of Enter the Dragon. If you like Bruce Lee, and martial arts, the buck stops here.Movie Review: WIDESCREEN! FINALLY!!!!

it is good to see a bruce lee classic like RETURN OF THE DRAGON on dvd. the way a classic should be seen letterboxed. it looks terrific! the print is clearer, the dubbing sounds more echoing here if you raise the volume. and bruce lee is bruce lee. he is wonderful and boy he is sorely missed. his famous sm:)e while battling bad guys here is priceless. i can't believe the gangsters have to be incredibly dopey! only chuck norris is the serious villain. the battle pitting lee vs. norris in rome's colisseum still is the best and most realistic fight i have ever seen. 1 major problem with the dvd. when i bought it july 4, the back of the case says there is a movie trailer. when i saw the menu page on tv, IT DOESN'T HAVE THE FEATURE! people in amazon take note of this. maybe some dvds have it and some don't. i was unlucky. i know it may be no big deal but i am a fan of film trailers and i wanted to see what this trailer was like in 1972. oh well. i still have the movie to watch and enjoy again and again. RETURN OF THE DRAGON & ENTER THE DRAGON: whatta double feature!
Movie Review: Best martial arts movie ever!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are a Bruce Lee fanatic you must add this to your collection. This has to be one of the greatest martial arts movie ever. Bruce Lee is in my opinion the greatest martial arts master of all time. Bruce Lees performance in this film is awesome. All sorts of martial arts maneuvers ar shown. Also Chuckie Norris is included in this film, where at the ending of the movie he must battle with Lee but you will have to purchase the movie in order to see who wins :). All through the movie he shows us a fantastic array of fighting. He must fight several opponents which are mediocre in martial arts but they are no match for Bruce Lee. Sorry I cannot describe to you the specifics of the movie since I have no words to describe such a great movie especially on DVD with the high quality in picture format. All I have to say is just buy the movie and you wont regret it.Movie Review: Martial Arts-Comedy
Summary: 5 Stars
Return of The Dragon had me rolling more than many comedies I've seen. From the ghetto looking opening animation scene, predictably bad dubbing, and the very sight of this scrawny pimped out gay guy (gotta see the outfit) among other subtleties, its pretty damn funny.
The action in the movie is also pretty good. Not as great as some of Bruce's other films but still impressive. The pinnacle of the fighting comes at the end with Bruce taking on a furry looking Chuck Norris at the Colliseum (whats the deal with that cat? lol). As usual Bruce performs throughout the movie with his trademark charisma and brashness...he's simply the man.
Movie Review: CHUCK NORRIS steels the show !
Summary: 5 Stars
There are a lot of ignorant reviewers! Norris and Lee actualy had a real sparing match in Hong Kong (70's), a points match with judges and guess who won CHUCK NORRIS!(SUPRISE!).As a martial artist historian for over 23 years, do your own research nonbeleivers.Also Chuck Norris was in Enter the Dragon he plays a messenger in the begining of the film! Bruce looked up to Norris, come on a 6 time World Karate Champion, not including an undefeated Champion in the Air Force for years. Chuck is simply the best! In the movie he lost, why? HOLLYWOOD!
