He fought Chuck Norris! He did that scene in Game of Death, it was just cut, along with the rest of the origional script, from the DVD. I seen it on TV.

In Way of the dragon they fight, not "return" of the dragon.

The principle of Game of Death was to illustrate that finding your own true "Jeet Kune Do" is the best way to win, instead of sticking to a system. He faught the Hapkido master, the escrima master (Dan Inosanto) and some others and using the principles of his fighting system, defeated them. Unfortunately, the film could never be completed properly due to his untimely death, so we will never know what the true product would have been. I would bet it wouldn't have any cardboard masks in, haha (you will know what I mean if you've seen it!). There is stuff on the internet about it all, and if you have some of the Bruce Lee dvds, it might be on there. I have it somewhere but I can't remember which one. He was basically using it as a vehicle for his favourite theories on martial arts, such as broken rhythm.

Damn all this Bruce Lee hype!

They're the same movie Adam.

Way of the Dragon = European title

Return of the Dragon = US title

I think the fight you are referring to is in GOD2, when "Bruce" (Yuen Biao I believe) fights Cassanova Wong in the greenhouse. A great fight but...well it's not Bruce is it?

It's kinda annoying when films have different titles in the same language. That's just what I knew it as anyway.

I thought it was the guy from Drunken master than "Bruces" brother fights at the end, not Chuck Norris?

Who cares :p

thanx for clearing that up YODA :D

isnt the movie "big boss" called "fists of fury" in other places (such as here in canada)?
..i hate how they mess around with the movie titles..is it because of translation problems or something?

I think the 'fake' Lee's were Bruce Le, and Bruce Li, i'm sure it would be one of them in the film. Yuen Biao was Jackie Chan and Sammo Hungs Peiking Opra buddy.

I know Bruce fought Hapkido grandmaster Wong In-sik in Way of the Dragon. His also in Young Master, which is good.
