Way of the Dragon

Saw Way of the Dragon. It was a bit silly. It had a lot going against it though. The version I saw was dubbed entirely into English, despite the fact that the characters were speaking different languages was a major plot point. When lines like "I come from the country. In the country... wheeee!" came out, I began wondering if it was this goofy in the original. Slightly unfashionable morals in the movie, with simpering gay bad-guy sidekicks and various groin-punches. However, all of this aside, the point of this movie was clearly the martial arts and that was all good and fun and pretty and well-delivered. I noticed an ongoing theme of cat vs mouse vs dog, with Bruce Lee's cat-like face and yowls squaring off against Chuck Norris who was apparently turning into some kind of wolf-person at the time of filming.
