Bruce Lee’s best film.

For those who have seen it, who was the best all around martial artist in that movie? I think all the main characters besides Han was a martial artists in real life.

Does anyone remember the scene where Han is brutally beating William’s balls in front of beautiful women? Wasn’t it suppose to be John Saxon, not Jim Kelly?

Fist of Fury, Chinese Connection, and Big Boss were good too. Fist of Fury might be my favorite.

Bruce was the best martial artist in that movie.

Shih Kien (Han) was a martial arts instructor. Jim Kelly was a karate champion. John Saxon had studied for about 15 years at that point. Bruce Lee is a given.

I don't think Ahna Capri (Han's secretary) or Betty Chung (Mei-Ling) had any martial arts background and the same is true of the Brit, Geoffrey Weeks. Everybody else in the picture, including Angela Mao Ying (Su-lin) were competent (or better) martial artists.

Even teenaged Jackie Chan could hold his own at that point.

Bob Wall was a martial artist too wasn’t he, at the world level? As well as Bolo Yeung.

Ahna Capri was amazing in that film. Amazing soles/feet

Everybody in the film except the roundeye girl, the old lady and the Brit. I mean, it was mostly stuntmen outside of the leads, anyway.

Big Trouble in Little China. I also really like BloodSport. Plus Brad Pitt kicked Bruce Lee's arse in Once apon a Time in Hollywood.

I remember seeing it at the Strand Theater with all of my 8th grade buddies. None of our moms let us have nunchuks, even the moms that let their kids have motorcycles. Everyone wanted them.

It was a couple of years before I ever saw and messed with a real pair of them.

Bruce Lee wasnt the best martial artist in The Way of the Dragon, thats for damn sure.

Chuck Norris would have whooped his arse IRL.
