I really want to give this one a "10" just because it's Bruce Lee...but in all honesty, I can't simply because it's almost laughable...no, it IS laughable by today's standards. I love Bruce Lee, and there's no doubt that not only was he the best martial artist ever but he _did_ have that "screen presence" that made every one of his movies memorable. IMO, however, this movie dragged on far too long before finally allowing him to exhibit his prowess, and even then, his natural ability was exaggerated to the point of being ridiculous. (There are two things I remember about this movie: the chick flashing her titty and saying _"See?!"_ and the wall exploding with the exact shape of the guy's body when Lee punched him through it. Seriously... The fights were so amazing that Lee's power didn't need to be exaggerated to that extent. This was, however, back in 1971 so I will concede that maybe the filmmakers were treading in uncertain waters. I have it in my personal collection, and will probably watch it again...and again...because it's Bruce Lee. And it wasn't his fault they overemphasized his abilities here. If you're a Bruce Lee fan, and you've never seen this one, watch it; you'll enjoy seeing him in action again. Just go into realizing the production wasn't up to today's standards so there are so very forgettable moments. RIP, Bruce. You were the best.
