This is legendary! Bruce Lee's masterpiece!
Bruce Lee's rage explodes on a fortress island rife with drugs and intrigue!
Martial artists from around the world are invited to a martial arts tournament hosted by Hung (Shih Kien), a powerful figure in Hong Kong's underworld. American actors Williams (Jim Kelly) and Roper (John Saxon) accept the invitation and head to Hong Kong. Meanwhile, a young Shaolin martial arts student named Lee (Bruce Lee) receives a request from the Secret Service to participate in a tournament and uncover the true nature of Han's drug trafficking operations. Lee initially declines, but the abbot reveals to him that Han, too, was once a Shaolin monk, but is misusing his martial arts knowledge. His father also tells him that his sister was killed by Han's henchman, O'Hara, several years ago. Lee accepts the request and decides to participate in the tournament. With a secret mission and a desire for revenge in his heart, Lee heads to the island where the tournament is being held...

This film made the name of "Dragon" Bruce Lee known worldwide, and is a monumental work marking the first collaboration between Asia and Hollywood. It is also a masterpiece in the history of action movies. A tournament of martial arts masters is held on a fortress island off the coast of Hong Kong. At the request of the British government, a young Chinese man named Lee participates in the tournament as a secret agent. He uncovers evidence of drug trafficking on the island and goes toe-to-toe with the tournament's organizer, Han.
For Bruce Lee, whose lifelong goal was to popularize Chinese films around the world and to star in a Hollywood film, this film truly fulfilled his dream, but he died suddenly shortly after its completion. Sadly, it became his last work. This film contains the complete version of the film, with rare, previously unreleased scenes said to have been directed by Bruce himself. (Yamauchi Takuya)
