View Full Version : Which of Bruce Lee's fully completed films was the best?
I have to say that there is only one that is my absolute favorite, Fist of Fury. It had great acting from Bruce, the famous Dojo scene where he takes down a whole Japanese martial arts school and it was a great way of seeing how the Chinese viewed the Japanese of the past.
Enter the Dragon did have his most amazing action sequences, and of course had a very large budget, which lent to it's large scale sets and locales. But it took so long to build up I just fast forward past the first 40 minutes whenever I watch it! :D Do I need to mention how bad John Saxon was?!
The Big Boss was impressive as his first flick but of course wasn't his best by way of story or even his best acting. I'd have to say that Way of the Dragon is my second favorite, he did such a relatively good job as director. The plot was minimal, but the fact that he kicks Chuck Norris' ass is enough. I hate kids at my school with all there Chuck Norris jokes who think Chuck could beat Bruce. They're crazy! Bruce is the man!!!

4.Enter The Dragon:cool:
That's probably the order I'd do it in except for Game of Death, that was just horrible! :eek:

Fist of Fury, the greatest Kung Fu film of all time...
This movie gave audiences what they were craving in the absolute grandest
fashion. The building tension between the suppressors and the victims, the rascist comments, the ass whippings Bruce hands out every chance he gets...
Do i need continue?

Fist of Fury followed by Big Boss
Way is just ok, but Enter is so badly filmed. Clouse had no idea how to shoot a martial arts film.
You had the guy with the greatest footwork on the planet, so yea shoot a entire film of him from the waist up.
Too many close in and up shots for a martial arts film - missing action on the sides.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say "Enter the Dragon." In my eyes it is the definitive light hearted actioner. I also think Bruce Lee's filmography is pretty overrated. "The Big Boss" is poor in pretty much every way.
Still, I understand why people vote "fist of Fury" as it has that classical ring to it. It plays out very strongly.

Not a Shaws movie, but he was supposed to be in Lo Wei's Rebellious Reign. Board member Raider Yang's avatar has Bruce dressed in a costume for that movie.
He probably didn't work with the Shaw Brothers because he got a lot more money at Golden Harvest.

I think Chuck Norris was Bruce's best one on one opponent on film. That fight to me had the best choreography and flow out of all his screen fights. Chuck was clearly kicking Bruce's ass at the start of the fight until Bruce changed his fighting tactics. Instead of attacking straight in like he did at first, he started dancing and faking Chuck out and establishing his own rythum to the fight. Bruce was applying his own personal philosopy of Jeet Kune Do to the fight and the reason this fight stands out above all his others imo.

CK, I disagree with your call as to who was Bruce's best onscreen opponent.
I believe Bob Wall was his best opponent on screen and their fight choreography together always made for great action.
It would have been great to see Lee perform choreography under a stylist, who would have him do shapes...:p (I know, Lee hated shapes), however, that was the direction MA movies was heading anyway, and it still would've been great.

I can understand people taking FoF or Big Boss over WotD, that's due to Lee's presence as an actor and fighting style: energy, emotion, anger and charisma and I'll have to agree in some way (in WotD Bruce only shines when he fights, nothing more). but I'm with Chinatown Kid, Bruce was def in his prime choreography-wise in that movie and I believe Bruce would've taken his choreo style to a whole new level if he had lived long enough to complete Game Of Death (I personally take the original footage anyday over everything in Big Boss, Fist Of Fury and Enter The Dragon).

Dragon I respect your opinion and the fights Bruce has with Wall in Way and ETD were great but I think this was because Wall made a great punching bag so to speak and made Bruce look all the more better, but he wasn't much of an opponent skillwise because he was no challenge to Bruce. :)

I totally agree with you! That's exactly what me and people I've spoken to all said. When you recall his fights you remember, "Did you see how bad Bruce whooped his ass!", never, "Did you see the moves that guy did!". He was enjoyable to watch when he was beaten, Enter the Dragon and in Game of Death :D

IMO, his best completed film was probably Fist of Fury, but it wouldn't have been any good without Bruce Lee. His presence and skills made it what it was.
My personal favorite to watch was Way of the Dragon. I thought the fight scenes, and Lee's skills overall, looked the sharpest here.

Well if that's the case, Sifu, how about his fights with Dan Inosanto and Jie Han Jae in GOD? Those fights showed Lee adapting to the opponent very well and in one he verbally tells the opponent/audience why he's going to succeed in battle and in the other, he physically expresses the same.
"...Rehearsed routines lack the flexability to adapt..."

Doubt it, he believed in being of right mind, ALL THE TIME! It's in Tao of Jeet Kun Do.
Tao of Jeet Kune Do wasn't written by Lee. It's a collection of writings he had taken from the books of Haislet, Dempsey, Driscoll, Nadi and Krishnamurti for his own use. It was then all put together in a hodge podge fashion and published as though is were Bruce's own work.
A far better read to gain an understanding of Jeet Kune Do is 'Jeet Kune Do: Bruce Lee's Commentaries On The Martial Way' published by Tuttle.
Also towards the end of his life Bruce Lee liked to have more than just a drop of Saki!!!

In reality, he'd offer her some hashish brownies, and then explore her 'brownies', or browneyes. Lol.

Yes Dragon is a highly fictionalized account of Lee's life. For the more accurate story it would be better to read one of the biography books on Lee, one I will recommend is Fighting Matters by Bruce Thomas which I found highly imformative and seemed well researched. One big thing that stands out as false in the Dragon movie is that Bruce fought Wong Jack Man(played by John Chaing) at Ed Parker's Internationals. Bruce actually only put on a demonstration, but it was fabulous and amazing none the less. That guy also never kicked Bruce in the back causing his back injury, he actually injured it lifting weights. Bruce did fight fight Wong Jack Man when he was younger and accounts were that Bruce won but didn't look too impressive and Bruce himself thought it took too long and found himself winded, so changed his workout routine after and added alot more strength and stamina exercises to it. After this he got into alot more phenominal shape and kept improving.

There is proof in Bruce's autopsy report, well researched info in biographies about him as well as documented statements by his close friends . Believe me the people who have made statements in this thread are just as big a fan if not more so then you of Lee and no one is trying to slander him or disgrace his image. He was an incredible Martial Artist and star and the faults he did have just make him all the more human. No one is perfect or unflawed. Sometimes "hero" worship can cloud the truth and make people forget this.

Back to this.
Bruce was the most ferocious in Fists of Fury. Man, did he kick some butt in that film. Way Of The Dragon was good also. Just imagine if Bruce was around long enough to do a period piece. Now that would have been the ultimate classic kung fu film.
I know, I always wished he'd done more. Game of Death itself probably would've been amazing had he finished it himself :(

Fist Of Fury is a MA film that upon an initial viewing, does provide the audience with excitement, and gives viewers a sense of feeling for the main characters. Heroes, villians, all have you either cheering or jeering.:)
This is Lee's best film. His choreography here is innovative, and refreshing, for it's time.

In many ways "Enter The Dragon" was the best of his movies. Not the best for fighting scenes And the unanswered questions like how the hell was a bunch of old drunk men imprisoned in Han's dungeon able to defeat Han's hand picked well trained army of martial arts experts? Or how exactly did Roper defeat Bolo after he kicked him in the nuts? The camera cuts away and we hear a slap noise and cut back to see the guy dead. And which one of those lowlifes killed Han's defenseless girlfriend? But as a silly A-Z action adventure it worked better than his other movies.
However, technically ( going by fight sequences only ) his best was "The Big Boss" followed by "Fist of Fury", then "Enter the Dragon" in third and "Way of the Dragon" fourth. ( I guess we are not going to include "Marlowe" here or any of his pre-martial arts movies he did as a teen? )
Or how exactly did Roper defeat Bolo after he kicked him in the nuts?
Maybe they were connected to his heart :D

There's so many factors that make ETD a bad film, it's ridiculous. The story, which is straight out of James Bond lore, is where one need but start. No MA film can keep up with the pace set for this genre.
*The rebel Shaolin Monk Han, should have been taken down by older Monks.
*The racist script, making the Black man an over-sexed, loudmouth, cockey, hasty, fugitive... Plus, once again, he dies first...
*The Caucasian man a gambling, untrustworthy, indecisive, eccentric...
*The Chinese man non-sexual(LOL), single-minded, and lackey for "The Establishment: (...I guess I won't need anything... If there's any trouble, you "The Establishment" make a phone call...?)...
*The Hero dispatches the villian's main bad guy in the middle of the film, leading to an anti-climatic battle between an old geiser, and a young stallion...
*O'hara seemed to mean less to Han than Bolo, who was 'the executioner'...
*Not enough tournament action, nothing to make you feel these main characters were cream of the crop...
*Where were Han's "most personal guard"?, his daughters, while daddy was getting smoked?...
How did they get the ropes on Lee's wrists after he had whupped everyone in the dungeon? There were no guns, and he would let them tie his hands behind his back?...

Well it's too easy to pick on scripts problems in a kung fu flick! Come on!
*The racist script, making the Black man an over-sexed, loudmouth, cockey, hasty, fugitive... Plus, once again, he dies first...
*The Caucasian man a gambling, untrustworthy, indecisive, eccentric...
*The Chinese man non-sexual(LOL), single-minded, and lackey for "The Establishment: (...I guess I won't need anything... If there's any trouble, you "The Establishment" make a phone call...?)...
I don't think it's racism, feels more like stereotype to me and that's a big difference.
I still think ETD is a superior Bruce Lee flick and by far my favorite. But then again I'm not the biggest Bruce fan, and I find his other movies to be quite slow... And don't give me that plot crap.
FOF is taking this poll by storm. There's no chance now :D I make it sound like the film's gonna disappear.

TBB purely because it's his only 'ordinary' and 'proper' film that carried out the story and avoided any conflicts between emotions, even though it was clumsily handled occasionally - just an overall sadness. Wang Fu Ling's score highlightens it when he's grieving and carries out his anger appropriately (well, 70% of the time).
Of course, all of his films had it's points:
To me, TWOTD at the end had summed up a fighter's intent on winning that led to a sad demise. After 'Colt' is killed, what Tang Lung carries out as a sign of respect always gets me emotionally. Clumsily made, but it's point and the raw combat carried out is crystal.
FOF contains it's 'Stand-up for yourselves, Chinese!' concept, one that many admire (a reason why the film tends to dominate any debate). I, otherwise can't stand the film.
Although incomplete, the GOD footage shows a constant interactive response (both philosophically and spiritually) to any movement carried out - that's attached to the unfilmed plot of kidnap and being forced to travel to the pagoda.
ETD seems to be a combination of the qualities FOF, GOD and TWOTD had. US made and a classic, even if it does pong a little.
IMO, all of his films have unique attributes and I don't care for all that "who would win" stuff as I know the qualities he brought to us.

I remember reading an interview with brandon Lee and he was asked which one of his dad's movies was his favorite. Brandon replied that Way of the Dragon was his favorite because out of all his films that film had the most of his dad in it as it was Bruce's baby all the way. He had total control of the project because he wrote, directed and choreographed the fights. I feel the same.

Well, you've kinda said it yourself - "despite some problems" ;).
One example: Bruce is really hell bent on avenging his master one minute, yet he finds time to do Jerry Lewis impressions during the telephone-repair scene.
Yes, it is an epic film and I do see it's purpose (despite it's hacked "God-damn Japanese!" theme), but people milk about how good it is too far without considering some of it's crappyness. Think it could have been far better and I just can't stand it. You cannot blend comedy and seriousness together.
Anyway, I'm not going to argue - opinion is opinion :).
For people's reference when they think Lo Wei always put down the Japanese, he does favour them half-way through in 'Seaman No 7' (despite the start) - if you know what I mean :).

05-09-2008, 03:04 AM

But as to my favourite, I'm voting Big Boss. Bruce's character is his most likeable, he interacts well with the cast, and the pacing is much better then the others - Fist would be damned near perfect if they cut out the Lo Wei scenes!
Plus you get a choice of 4 different scores. How cool is that???
I'm not going to argue - opinion is opinion :)
I wasn't arguing, you didn't hear me say "Your wrong for thinking that!" I was just asking why, you have a UNIQUE opinion, it was strange to me only because most people feel Fist of Fury is the quintessential Bruce flick.
But I definitely see your point, imagine that film without him! It wouldn't be good AT ALL! They relied on him, which is not really good, but his furious brutality and charisma is what put the film right over the top in my mind.

Agreed, he got a rubbish role in TWOTD.
My eyes actually opened up when he kicked some serious arse at the end in 'Hapkido' (sorry, I gave a spoiler that there is an end:D!). Angela was not bad, especially for a female fighter of that era. Ji Han Jae was cool too, but wasn't given a ****load to do.

Lam and Chan were also in Fist of Fury. My brother nicknamed Chan's character in Fist of Fury "Color Me Badd" because he looked one of the members of the late 80's-early 90's boy band. Lam was only in the film for a minute as a Japanese who gets beat by Bruce.
Fist of Fury was also my favorite of the bunch. It is one of the first films to start the whole Sino-Japanese war on screen (China vs. Japan, Kung Fu vs. Karate), a major thematic rivalry of the 70's, and Bruce gave out his best performance in this film IMO, despite his off-screen rivalry with director Lo Wei.

Actually I thought Bruce Lee did a great job as the country naive bumpkin with fighting skills. Way of the dragon definitely showed that Bruce could tackle any role, given this movie came after chinese connection where his role was so serious and emotional driven. But I voted for Chinese connection because the acting from the entire cast was on point and so were the fights.

I've said this before, but I'll say it again. From a filmmaking point of view, Fist of Fury is his best. From a "film fan" point of view, Big Boss is my favorite. I always tell people that what you think is the best and what your favorite is of something don't exactly have to be the same.
It's like I think Casablanca is one of the best films of all time, but it's not exactly one of my favorites... if that makes any sense. The Big Boss is just filled to the brim with a sheer raw intensity lacking from his other films (although Fist is a close second).
I always found Cheng Chao-an to be an intriguing character as well. The guy is painfully shy, quiet, and a bit gullible. But it's like he becomes a completely different person altogether when he fights. Also, notice his reactions after his fights... it's like he comes out of a black out. They become progressively worse, with him realizing his pendant is broken after his first fight, going into somewhat of an emotional shock shortly after killing Hsiao Chiun (despite killing roughly 9 people prior to him), and briefly preparing to beat down a group of cops as they pull him off of Hsiao Mi's dead body... with only Chiao Mei's voice snapping him out of it. He basically had the Rambo mindset of "when you're pushed, killing's as easy as breathing", and maybe even a bit of his post traumatic stress disorder :p

Glad to see I'm not the only one :p The film never blatantly says it, but one of those old school Hong Kong photobooks of the film says that Chao-an's father was killed in a fight, and is the main reason why his mother makes him promise never to fight... but it could also be because she knows just how much of a threat he could be to others and not just the threats others could be to him. The movie's got more "layers" than it's given credit for XD

I think part of the film's appeal is that Bruce plays a character we can relate to, in a way the overtly chivalrous heroes of other kung fu films at the time lacked. Ditto the appeal of Jackie Chan in Snake In The Eagle's Shadow

Pretty much. He also initially tries to make everyone happy, which is why he gets drunk at the dinner with the manager. He's worried he'll offend them or be out of place if he doesn't drink like everyone else, yet he also planned to go to the dinner to get an answer out of his manager about Hsiu Chien, thus relaying the response to his family to make them happy as well.
But of course, you try to make everyone happy, you usually make everyone pissed. In Chao-an's case, his family wants to throw him out "right on his ear", and his bosses wanted to kill him. Not good :p

This was not a bad director's debut, for the time, and subject matter. Besides, these films were always about the fights anyway. Lee actually brought about more attention to be paid toward story lines, especially after his death.
Bruce breaks neck of helpless CN.
Norris was not helpless, he was a proud WARRIOR, who would not submit, and admit to defeat of this "Country Bumpkin". He rather be killed in action, and Bruce allowed him to die what is considered an heroic death.
Soon after that he tells 2 restaurant workers not to beat Asian henchman any more.
(Did he suddenly find out mercy does exist?)
That again was a contrasting display toward what was typical of HK MA films of the day, showing mercy "... if he gives up". Most films back then left audiences with major bloodshed. ...and, btw, it was before the showdown with Norris.
Restaurant worker stabs co-workers,Big Boss shooting his own man and instead of feeling Bruce's fists of fury he gets arrested...
This was a just way of The Boss and the traitor Uncle getting theirs, allowing the Hero of the film to save face in light of his ignorance as to what was actually happening.

My vote goes to Fist of Fury it have some rely great fights, story is good and Bruce`s acting is excellent.
Second is Enter the Dragon probably because it is first Bruce Lee movie that i saw it have usual story, there are no so great like in Fist of Fury but most of the are OK also i never liked Jim Kelly`s death.
Third is The Big Boss: Good thing about this one is great story it is rely unusual and original i also like Ice Factory fight rely much, but there are some bad things when Bruce jumps over the cage etc... also when James Tien died i cried.
And number 4 is Way of the Dragon. I never liked this one so much story is not so great, fights are mostly with nunchackus and i don`t like that too much. Doze of humor in that movie is nice also fight with Chuck Norris rules.
Thats for me

This is also my thinking, though my ranking would separate each of these by very slight margins, that is how good ALL these films are! Jim Kelly's death in "EtD" was a mistake! If John Saxon's character perished, instead, a finale with Bruce and Jim taking out Han's men would've been MORE visually exciting than what we're familiar with, good as THAT is!:wink:

As everyone said, Big Boss is a detonator, and then Fist of Fury is the explosion [Mao Tse Tung loved it to tears and death, too], and then he is the craziest maniac there ever was in MA films with Enter The Dragon, but i felt straight in love with Bruce for Way of The Dragon. Love everything about it. The tight, simple plot, the "thusness" of the real Bruce [character, fights, futher autobiograghical elements, a bit of the soundtrack...], the comedy, the excellent music....
Only Jim Kelly has great lines in Enter, just because he is more Bruce than Bruce's boring "Lee" character.Everyone has theit lines in Way.
"Eggs."
"Chinese spare rips."
"Hurry up and pick up everybody, hummmm!!"
"Bod's my student."
"Money will buy cooperatiton."
"Yeeees, A-ME-RI-CA."

DAMN!!! Fist Of Fury with 54% of the votes!! I too voted for FOF, he was just beating up people mercilessly and when you think about it, it's almost like one of those slasher movies where the boogie man keeps coming and coming...

This is also my thinking, though my ranking would separate each of these by very slight margins, that is how good ALL these films are! Jim Kelly's death in "EtD" was a mistake! If John Saxon's character perished, instead, a finale with Bruce and Jim taking out Han's men would've been MORE visually exciting than what we're familiar with, good as THAT is!:wink:
You know they were not going to kill the WHITE MAN!
He was gonna survive no matter what... If they did that, the fear is no one would show up for box office receipts.
Man... You come right out of a comic book!
