Is Colt good? He is America's best!

You better pray that you don't fail this time!

He will beat Tang Lung.

I'll bet my life on it.

Operator!

I'd like to call America.

Yes, A-me-ri-ca!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Thank you, Uncle Wang...

I didn't expect traditional lucky money abroad.

Uncle Wang gives us lucky money yearly.

This is my best New Year ever.

First, we successfully defended our restaurant,

and second, we have Ah Lung with us,

who's also our teacher.

Third, we finally beat the hoodlums.

Let's enjoy the new year and skip the violence.

Here comes Ching Hua.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Come, this is for you.

Thank you, Uncle Wang.

Ah Lung, a cable for you.

It's from my Uncle.

He wants you to go somewhere to help someone.

Don't be like that. I'll be back.

I won't leave until the whole thing is settled.

Happy New Year! Beautiful decorations indeed.

What a warm gathering.

What do you want?

I came to bring greetings.

It was our fault. I must apologize.

We must all be friends.

Our boss would like to see Mr. Tang.

Would he do us the honor?

Wonderful.

Business will be good this year.

Tell your boss we'll be there.

Fine. Empress Restaurant tomorrow morning, bye.

Just a minute please! Please, please!

We are friends.

Tang Lung is our enemy.

Please wait for our boss to come back to decide.

Which one of you will take care of that Chinaman?

Stop!

Sensei!

Bob's my student.

He will personally take care of Tang Lung.

Yes, boss!

Who can do karate better than the Japanese?

Wait! Now that we have decided.

Is everything arranged?

Yes, boss!

I'll meet them at the restaurant

early tomorrow morning.

You're here. Sit down.

Sorry our boss couldn't make it.

Why isn't he here?

Something urgent came up.

I'll have my car drive you over.

What? We're to go to him?

Never mind. Take us there!

Right! I like straight-talkers.

Let's go!

Where is he?

He's gone.

Forget it. He won't get away.

It's a trick. Be careful everyone!

Leave it to me, Teacher!

The three of us can handle him.

I'll go first.

You? Tang Lung?

Tang Lung.

Are you Tang Lung?

Are you Tang Lung?

Leave it, he's already surrendered.

Ah Lung, we're lucky this time

not to have fallen into their trap.

Tang Lung, come if you dare!

Ah Lung, don't let him get away.

Tony and Jimmy can take the Japanese.

Tony, are you all right?

I'm hurting all over.

Uncle Wang, why...

Don't blame me, if you must, blame it on Ah Lung.

Yes, Ah Lung got you into this mess.

He should not have get in my way.

You... what do you mean?

What do I mean?

Working men have no future.

I have worked hard for half my life

but own nothing.

My wife and children are waiting in Hong Kong.

If the restaurant cooperates,

they'll pay me a big reward.

Then I can return to Hong Kong, and enjoy luxury.

I've slogged away overseas.

I'd like to enjoy an easy life.

Tang Lung, you've got guts.

The man you just saw will kill you.

Lung, you're at the end of your road.

You're at Death's door.

Ho!

Wang, we've failed.

Hold it!

We've been tricked.

Tony and Jimmy... look!

Don't get emotional, please!

Listen to me, Mr. Tang.

Now that it's over. I must go.

I'll see you off.

No, Chuan has a car waiting.

Take good care.

In this world of guns and knives,

he's gonna need luck wherever he goes!

Bruce Lee

Lee Jun-fan (Chinese: 李振藩; November 27, 1940 – July 20, 1973), known professionally as Bruce Lee (Chinese: 李小龍), was a Hong Kong and American actor, film director, martial artist, martial arts instructor, philosopher, and founder of the martial art Jeet Kune Do, one of the wushu or kungfu styles. Lee was the son of Cantonese opera star Lee Hoi-chuen. He is widely considered by commentators, critics, media, and other martial artists to be one of the most influential martial artists of all time and a pop culture icon of the 20th century. He is often credited with helping to change the way Asians were presented in American films.Lee was born in Chinatown, San Francisco, on November 27, 1940, to parents from Hong Kong, and was raised with his family in Kowloon, Hong Kong. He was introduced to the film industry by his father and appeared in several films as a child actor. Lee moved to the United States at the age of 18 to receive his higher education at the University of Washington in Seattle, and it was during this time that he began teaching martial arts. His Hong Kong and Hollywood-produced films elevated the traditional Hong Kong martial arts film to a new level of popularity and acclaim, sparking a surge of interest in Chinese martial arts in the West in the 1970s. The direction and tone of his films dramatically changed and influenced martial arts and martial arts films in the US, Hong Kong, and the rest of the world.He is noted for his roles in five feature-length films: Lo Wei's The Big Boss (1971) and Fist of Fury (1972); Golden Harvest's Way of the Dragon (1972), directed and written by Lee; Golden Harvest and Warner Brothers' Enter the Dragon (1973) and The Game of Death (1978), both directed by Robert Clouse. Lee became an iconic figure known throughout the world, particularly among the Chinese, based upon his portrayal of Chinese nationalism in his films. He trained in the art of Wing Chun and later combined his other influences from various sources into the spirit of his personal martial arts philosophy, which he dubbed Jeet Kune Do (The Way of the Intercepting Fist). Lee held dual nationality in Hong Kong and the US. He died in Kowloon Tong on July 20, 1973, at the age of 32. more…
