Bruce Lee. Chuck Norris. Two of the finest cinematic fighters in the history of Hollywood, facing one another man to man. No tricks, no disadvantages, just the hairy and smooth chests of two men locking eyes to see who the best fighter is. Tang Lung (Lee) is trying to defend family and friends from the local Roman mafia but when he proves to be an obstacle, mob lieutenant Ho hires foreign martial artists to solve the problem including fearsome karate fighter, Colt (Norris). Like gladiators of old, Tang and Colt have their epic showdown in the halls of the Colosseum and for awhile Colt holds the upper hand. But Bruce Lee is who he is, so losing was never really an option. Say what you will about the somewhat unconvincing Colosseum set, the rather dated usage of zooms, or Norris incredible body hair, the fight itself remains a great one not least because it appears to have been shot from the perspective of a saucer-eyed kitten. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYHZEu7Y7DU
