Movie Reviews of Way Of The Dragon
Movie Review: Watch it with the original sound track with subtitles
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this film when it was first released in the Philippines. My ship, the Francis Hammond of the US Navy, was in port in Manila and being a film lover, I wanted to experience a film the way the Philippinos did. A friend and I went to a theater and this film was playing. I was not an martial arts fan, but I knew martial arts films were very popular in the far east so we bought our tickets. Did I say popular?!!! The theatre was as large as a large theater in the US. The seating was made of continuous rows of wooden benches, no backs, stretched out in curves like a Roman theater, and people were squashed in. The isles on the sides were filled (no fire code?) and people spilled out the entry double doors. We had to stand about four feet outside the entrance. However, we could see the whole screen. I was ready to leave, not looking forward to an hour and a half of standing. BOY, was I glad I stayed! Bruce Lee plays a country boy from China, who is looked on at first as a bit of a bumpkin by his cousins whom he is visiting in Italy. The dialog is in Mandarin, Italian and English. We had two sets of subtitles, Tagolog (the national language of the Philippines), and English. Most of the humor comes from the various groups not being able to understand each other. The audience loved the film, laughing, cheering, and tensely silent in all the right places. The story has great charm as well as great action. By the end, we all liked Bruce Lee's character so much that when he is losing to Chuck Norris we were desperate for him to come back and win. This was one of the best film experiences of my life. So, when I came back to the US, I discovered that the US distributors had dubbed the film. It was a disaster. The film was brushed off as being bad except for the marvelously choreographed fight scenes and for Bruce Lee. I have since seen all of Bruce Lee's films since then, and with the original sound track, this one is one of the best. Watch it with the original soundtrack.
