As Kato in the TV series The Green Hornet   (青蜂侠qīngfēngxiá) he had become an Asian star (the series was renamed for his character when it crossed the Pacific) and ripe for his own vehicle. 

Today, we are going to talk about a film which is t heatrical released in August 19, 1973.It is the  last film completed by Bruce Lee   ( 李小龙Lǐ Xiǎolóng )  before his untimely death   (英年早逝yīngniánzǎoshì) , Enter the Dragon   (龙争虎斗lóngzhēng-hǔdòu)  was his entrée into Hollywood. The American-Hong Kong coproduction, shot in Asia by American director Robert Clouse, stars Lee as a British agent sent to infiltrate the criminal empire of bloodthirsty Asian crime lord Han (Shih Kien) through his annual international martial arts tournament.

Once again he plays the country boy who travels to a foreign land, in this case Italy, where his restaurant-owning cousins face trouble from the local syndicate.

Today, we are going to talk about a 1978 film,the DVD Released version is in 2001,named Game of Death   (死亡游戏sǐwáng yóuxì) . Bruce Lee   ( 李小龙Lǐ Xiǎolóng )  originally intended Game of Death to be a more philosophical treatment of martial arts. He started working on the film in 1972, after completing Way of the Dragon. Reportedly he shot about 90 minutes of footage   (连续镜头liánxù jìngtóu)  for the end of the film (of which 23 minutes can be used today). He never wrote a screenplay   (剧本jùběn)  for it. 

Today, we are going to talk about a 1972 film.Although  The Big Boss (唐山大兄 Táng shān dàxiōng )  made Bruce Lee   (李小龙Lǐ Xiǎolóng)  known, but The Chinese Connection   (精武门jīngwǔmén)  is the film that truly made the Chinese audience love him and worship him.  Rightfully so, for this is Lee's best movie. He plays Chen, the top disciple of a revered kung fu master, recently killed under mysterious circumstances. Chen's spirit burns with a sense of duty, a desire for vengeance and an indomitable will to uphold the pride and rights of his people in a time where they are treated as second class citizens in their own land.
