In the sub-label 'Films of Fury' the newest entry is The Way of the Dragon, directed by and starring Bruce Lee. This volume includes exclusive extra features, O-ring packaging, and a limited edition collector's postcard, based on the original theatrical poster.
Tong Lung, a young martial arts stunt man, is invited to Rome to help Chan Ching-wah, a restaurateur who has inherited and runs the family business. However, a powerful local business corporation foresees the profit potential of the restaurant site and tries everything to force Chan to sell the place to them.
Chan decides to resist and fight, and he enlists Lung to help. Lung is fresh off the boat and, because of the language barrier, he finds himself in several embarrassing situations. But the head of the syndicate is filled with hatred and plots to kill him. Having failed to kill Lung using their existing thugs, the syndicate resolves to recruit karate experts from Japan and the States to beat him. Meanwhile, feeling threatened from outside and with discontent rising in his work place, Lung is trapped and in great danger.

When former child actor and Hollywood TV sidekick Bruce Lee returned to his native Hong Kong in 1971 to star in two films for fledgling company Golden Harvest, movie history was made thanks to one of the most iconic partnerships between star and studio that cinema has ever seen. In only a handful of films, Lee high-kicked his way into audiences’ imaginations forever, thanks to his blistering screen presence and his masterful ‘Jeet Kune Do’ fighting technique.
The first two starring vehicles for Lee, The Big Boss and Fist of Fury (both directed by Lo Wei), smashed all box office records in Hong Kong and made him the most famous face on the continent. Lee asserted his artistic independence by directing, writing and starring in The Way of the Dragon, arguably his most thrilling and personal film. Tragically, on the cusp of achieving the international stardom he had long strived for, Bruce Lee died suddenly in 1973, aged only 32. Not to be outdone by the tidal wave of ‘Bruceploitation’ films that followed, Golden Harvest completed two posthumous films using unreleased footage, 1978’s Game of Death and its 1981 sequel, as well as two official documentaries, the first of which hit cinemas only three months after Lee’s death. Today, five decades since his passing, Bruce Lee continues to be the most beloved and influential martial artist in the world.
This definitive collection, featuring fresh and exclusive 4K restorations by Arrow Video from the best available film materials, hours of brand new bonus features and previously unreleased footage - including the extended Mandarin Cut of The Big Boss, now ten minutes longer than any version ever released on video worldwide, and the never-before-seen ‘log fight’ from the original Game of Death shoot - is the ultimate tribute to Bruce Lee’s enduring legacy and fruitful collaboration with Golden Harvest.
