Locaciones de Filmación:

Rome, Lazio, Italy

Compañía:

Concord Productions Inc.

Trivialidades:

Was billed "Return of the Dragon" during its western release in order to cash in on the success of "Enter the Dragon" as its "sequel".

Errores:

Continuidad: When the gunman is first revealed in Chen's apartment, Tang Lung beats the guy all over, but never hits his face. Later when the gunman is being chewed out, he's shown with a bandaged forehead, two bruised cheeks and a black eye.

Citas:

Boss: What I want, I get. And I want that restaurant!
Ho: Yes, Boss. Yes, Boss.
Boss: "Yes, Boss. Yes, Boss." Haven't you wasted enough time!
Ho: But I... but I always do my best.
Boss: Then how you failed?
Ho: Ah! I found that they're being helped by a man named... Tang Lung.
Boss: A man? Only *one* man?
Ho: Ahh, but this man knows Chinese Gung-Fu.
Boss: [incredulously] Kung-Fu?

...and neither do the villains, because they never have a chance to. Bruce Lee is awesome yet again in this cool story about a Martial Arts expert helping his Uncle to save his restaurant from gangsters in Rome.

The fight scenes in this movie are well done. Bruce Lee takes on hordes of bad guys as if they were flies. Possibly the most famous scene in this movie is the legendary battle between Bruce Lee and chuck Norris (Undoubtly the role that gave him his break.) It's a great fight and one that will mark this film down in the history of classic Kung Fu cinema films.

Do not let this be confused with Enter The Dragon, as they are two completely different movies. The basic misconception is that this is Enter The Dragon's sequel, when in fact that came later, and if I'm not mistaken was Bruce Lee's last film.

I wish Kung Fu movies these days were as good as this.
