Bruce Lee Lives!

THE WAY OF THE DRAGON

aka RETURN OF THE DRAGON; MENG LONG GUO JIANG
Hong Kong | 1972 | Bruce Lee

THE WAY OF THE DRAGON film still

Made before his final finished feature Enter the Dragon (a U.S. co-production) but released in America (as Return of the Dragon) after it, Bruce Lee’s third martial arts film is the only completed movie he wrote and directed. Supplementing its action with lots of comedy, the movie tells of a skilled Chinese kung fu fighter who goes to Rome to defend his cousin’s restaurant against some local thugs. The unforgettable climax finds Lee taking on Chuck Norris in a gladiatorial death match inside the Colosseum. Subtitles. Scope DCP. 99 min.

General admission $11; members, CIA & CSU I.D.holders, and those age 25 & under $8.

Masks are currently optional for moviegoers, but still encouraged. Learn more under the “Face Coverings” section at cia.edu/covid.

As a reminder, filmgoers can park for free in Lot 73 and in the Institute's annex lot, and should enter CIA via nearby Entrance C. Click here for a map.
