Bruce Lee wrote, directed and starred in Return of the Dragon — a mix of hard-edged kung fu and goofy humor. He plays a country boy who travels to Rome, where his restaurant-owning cousins face trouble from the local syndicate. The film ends with one of cinema’s most memorable fight sequences: Bruce vs. world-champion karate artist Chuck Norris in the Roman Colosseum — a brutal, intense battle that remains iconic to this day.
