Aroview: The martial arts film by which all others are measured, Lee gets to display his masterful skill at every opportunity. Virtually plotless, but loaded with mind-numbing action.

5 stars (Exceptional) Possibly the greatest (and most famous) martial arts movie ever made, and a testament to the discipline and skill of real martial arts. Bruce Lee is superb, with some of his moves even proving too-fast to be captured on standard film. ~Tom H
2 stars (Good Try) The violence distracts from the choreography and the martial arts - Lee has this silly expression on his face when fighting as if he is half pissed - I'm sure he wasn't. Some beautiful exterior location shooting. ~Tubbs
3 stars (Good Enough) The third-best Bruce Lee kung fu film after Fists of Fury & Way of the Dragon. Director Robert Clouse doesn't know how to film fight scenes, but it has blaxploitation-era charm, a rare chance to hear Lee's real voice & a glimpse of the great Angela Mao. ~Pearce
