January 30, 2007This was the movie that put Bruce Lee on the map as one of the greatest martial arts experts of all time as well as cemented his superstar status as one of the successful Asian actors of his time....This came out when the kung-fu craze was sweeping the nation and with this movie the action comes at you at a rapid pace...non-stop....Even though it may run under 90 minutes,it packs a wallop with every action scene imaginable. One of the top-ten highest grossing movies the came from the year 1971.
