Description of this Return of the Dragon Poster
Return of the Dragon (Chinese: 车江, originally released in the United States as Return of the Dragon) is a 1972 Hong Kong martial arts action film written, co-produced, and directed by Bruce Lee, who also stars in the lead role. It is Lee’s only full-length directorial film and the last released during his lifetime. The film co-stars Nora Miao, Robert Wall, and Wei Ping-ou, with Chuck Norris playing his first screen role. The Way of the Dragon was released in Hong Kong on December 30, 1972, and in the United States in August 1974.
The film went on to gross approximately $130 million worldwide (equivalent to over $700 million adjusted for inflation), against a shoestring budget of $130,000, earning a thousand times its budget. It was the highest-grossing Hong Kong film until Lee’s next film, Dragon Run (1973).
In Rome, Chen Ching-hua and his uncle Wang experience problems with their restaurant from a crime boss who wants their property. When Chen refuses to give it up, the boss sends gangsters there to scare off the customers. Calling an uncle in Hong Kong, Chen receives help in the form of a young martial artist, Tang Lung (Bruce Lee). Upon first arriving, he is disoriented by his new surroundings and appears to be nothing more than a country bumpkin. Disappointed, Chen asks what help he can be, but Tang confidently assures him that he is capable enough. At the restaurant, Tang learns that the staff has started learning karate, much to the dismay of Quen, an employee who favors Chinese kung fu. Tang advises Quen to be open-minded and use whatever works.
Soon after, gangsters appear at the restaurant and threaten the customers while Tang is using the bathroom. Upset by Tang’s poor timing, the staff question his skills and the usefulness of his style. When the gangsters return later, the staff engage the thugs in a fight, only to be beaten. However, Tang single-handedly defeats them, forcing the staff to decide to train under him. Uncle Wang warns them that the gangsters will seek revenge, but Tang vows to protect the restaurant. Chen and Tang become closer, and she takes him on a tour of Rome, although Tang is unimpressed with the city.
Ho, the crime boss’s subordinate, returns with armed men and takes the restaurant staff hostage. Ho gives Tang a ticket to Hong Kong and tells her to come back. However, when his men escort Tang out, Tang fights back and beats the thugs with his two nunchucks, followed by help from the restaurant staff. Tang warns Ho not to come back, and the thugs leave the restaurant. The staff celebrate their victory, but the gang leader threatens to have Tang killed unless he leaves for the Chinese New Year, and Uncle Wang urges Chen to convince Tang to leave. When Tang refuses to abandon the restaurant, an assassin tries to kill him on a nearby rooftop with a sniper rifle. Already agitated by the nearby fireworks, Tang survives the attempt. He then tracks down and defeats the assassin after tricking him into wasting his ammunition. Upon returning to the apartment, he finds Chen gone. Assuming Ho has kidnapped her, Tang goes to the boss’s headquarters with the restaurant staff, defeating his men. Tang issues a final warning to the boss to leave the restaurant alone. The staff celebrates again, but a telegram to Tang also cuts things short when they learn he has been summoned to Hong Kong. Tang assures them that he will not leave until the situation is resolved.
Ho hires two martial artists to challenge Tang’s karate masters—Japanese and European, who initially refuse to work together. When the mob boss indicates that money is no object, Ho also recruits a world-class martial artist named Colt. Ho leads some of the restaurant staff to a secluded location under the pretense of a truce, where the two martial artists ambush them. They initially defeat the staff, until Tang intervenes and leaves the staff to finish off the last one. Meanwhile, Ho lures Tang to fight Colt at the Colosseum.
Left behind, Uncle Wang stabs the two remaining staff members, as he wants to sell the restaurant to the crime boss and return to Hong Kong a wealthy man. In a climactic ten-minute battle, Tang disables Colt. When Colt refuses an opportunity for mercy, Tang reluctantly kills him. Tang then places Colt’s gi and black belt atop his corpse as a sign of respect, before discovering Ho and chasing him out of the Coliseum. As Tang and Ho return to the ambush site, the mob boss arrives and shoots Ho and Uncle Wang. Then, the police, led by Chen, arrest the boss as he attempts to kill Tang. With the problem finally resolved, Tang sets out to return to Hong Kong. As he leaves, Quen tells Chen that Tang is a loner who will never settle down.
