99 mins – Hong Kong 1973 – Subtitles – Dir: Bruce Lee
Starring: Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris and Nora Miao
The sensational Bruce Lee is both star and director of this all-action martial arts movie set in Rome.
Lee plays an unassuming young man who forsakes the simple life in Hong Kong’s rural New Territories to help a family friend whose Rome restaurant is being threatened by a local mob. Amused at first by the newcomer’s naivety, the gang members soon learn to their cost that he is far from the bumpkin they took him for. Excitement and laughter come together in this fast-moving story of how the country boy outsmarts the sophisticated city gangsters and their hired killers.
A selection of vintage original trailers for other martial arts classics will precede this screening.
