Bruce Lee: 10 Most Memorable Screen Moments

6. Way Of The Dragon (1972) - Bruce Lee Vs Chuck Norris

rsz_brucelee4 Remember those Chuck Norris jokes that were knocking around the internet a few years ago? Like, "Chuck Norris doesn't do pushups...he pushes the world down"? The basic idea, although put across in a jokey way, is that Chuck Norris is the epitome of badassery and probably will be the only thing knocking around when the nuclear bombs go off. Just Chuck Norris and some cockroaches chilling in the smouldering post-apocalyptic wasteland...But when Chuck fought Bruce Lee in Game Of Death that's not quite how it worked out. The fight takes place in a Roman Coliseum observed by a kitten for some reason. I'm going to imagine that the coliseum represents the internet and the kitten is symbolic of every meme (past, present and future) as the question of who is more badass is answered once and for all. Chuck appears and then takes off his shirt, revealing enough 70's chest hair to stuff several pillows and then begins nonchalantly cracking his knuckles as if he actually has a chance against Bruce Lee. He doesn't.
