My own personal favourite Bruce Lee film. Bruce Lee was involved in every aspect of film making and wrote, produced and directed his third picture. This was the first film for the new Bruce Lee/Raymond Chow production company 'Concord.' Bruce Lee plays Tang Lung (aka Chinese Dragon) a country bumpkin who comes to Rome, Italy, to help out his cousin, Miss Chen's (Nora Miao) restaurant business. Local thugs are trying to make the Chinese sell up and are forcing customers out. As Bruce Lee told Esquire magazine during the shooting of the film, "It's really a simple plot, of a country boy going to a place where he cannot speak the language. But he comes out on top because he honestly and sincerely expresses himself by beating hell out of everybody who gets in his way." He couldn't of said it any better and the fight sequences in this film are Bruce's most realistic and best. Some of Bruce's opponents were Chuck Norris (7 times US Karate Champion), Bob Wall (1970 US Heavyweight Karate Champion) and Hwang In-Shik (Korean Hapkido Master).

"I remember the first day of shooting" says Japanese cameraman Nishimoto, "We did 65 set-ups at the airport in Rome. Bruce was doing just about everything, moving the tripod, the lights, telling the actors what to do." Chaplin Chang (location manager) comments, "We shot the exteriors in the Coliseum in about two hours as we could not get a permit to film there, so we went to shoot at dawn, before the tourists came."

Facts - 'WAY' was the first Chinese film shot in Europe. To use double nunchakas on the screen. Bruce was the first Chinese actor to start his own film production company (Concord). When Bruce informed the press that he believed this film would gross over HK$5 million, they all laughed and said he was mad. Bruce happily proved his critics wrong!!
