154 The Way of the Dragon

STEVE MORRIS & JOHN ROCHA
About this episode

Last week it was John's guilty pleasure and this week it's Steve's turn with Bruce Lee's 1972, Directorial Debut, The Way of the Dragon. With a pretty lame plot, and low budget, and use of stereotypes, there is plenty about The Way of the Dragon that could make Cine-Files dismiss it. However, one cannot over estimate Bruce Lee's impact on martial arts, action films and culture in general. He was, to put i simply, a cultural phenomenon and many (including Steve) would argue that Way of the Dragon is his most personal film.
