Bruce is a foreigner, who moves to Thailand where he works in an ice factory.  He made a promise that he would not fight and cause trouble.  This promise lies in a pendant he wears around his neck.  While his fellow workers get into a fight with the factory thugs, Bruce's pendant gets cut off and broken in two; he now feels that he is no longer obligated to keep his promise.  After seeing all of his co-workers murdered in their sleep, Bruce seeks revenge. He eventually takes on the "big boss" and his thugs.  In the end, although Bruce Lee defeats the "big boss," he is arrested.  As common in most of Bruce Lee's movies, the hero looses in the end. 

Bruce returns to his Chinese Gung-Fu school, finding that his teacher has been murdered by the Japanese. The movie takes place in Shanghai (then Japanese territory), so the law won't investigate. Bruce, Jeh Chen, is told by the new head teacher to forget it. Bruce backs off until the Japanese bring a sign, reading "The Chinese are the sick men of Asia." This pushes Bruce to go on a fury to avenge his teacher and his school. But as he challenges the Japanese and defeats the Japanese Karate school, the Japanese retaliate. They eventually destroy the Chinese Gung-Fu School, murdering several Chinese Gung-Fu students. Once Bruce kills the Japanese leader, and gets a promise from the law that his school will be harmed no longer if he turns himself in, he agrees to take punishment for his crimes. As Bruce prepares to turn himself in, he runs and leaps into a crowd of Japanese, armed with riffles. Gun shots are fired. The End. 

Bruce is called from Hong Kong, by a friend of his uncle, to help prevent further attacks from the Italian Mafia on a Chinese Restaurant that refuses to sell out. Eventually after many, failed attempts, the leader of the Mafia calls in the best fighter of Japan and the U.S. (from the U.S., Bob Wall, and Chuck Norris.) Luring Bruce, Tang Lung, and three of the restaurant employees to the Roman Coliseum, Bruce defeats the Japanese fighter, and Bob Wall. Then he defeats the Japanese fighter. Bruce and Chuck battle in hand-to-hand combat, like the Roman Gladiators. He fights, and defeats Chuck Norris. While Bruce is fighting Chuck Norris, the restaurant cook, a traitor, stabs two of the restaurant workers in the back. When Bruce returns from his victory, the cook pretends to be stabbed by the mafia translator who lured them there. When the leader of the Mafia drives up, Bruce turns around to see the cook attempting to stab him. The Mafia leader shoots the translator then attempts to shoot Bruce, but he misses and kills the cook instead. He then shoots the translator. The police drive up while Bruce is hiding behind a tree. The movie ends. . . 

Game of Death

Before Bruce made Enter the Dragon, he was filming scenes for the movie Game of Death, but once funding came for Enter the Dragon, Bruce put this film on hold to make a much larger motion picture. This film was put together a few years after Bruce Lee had past away. Of the 100 min. of Game of Death only 20 min. stars Bruce Lee. The remaining 80 min. is completed by two Bruce-look-alikes. This perhaps is the reason for the failure of this movie. 

Bruce, Billy Lo, is a movie actor, harassed by the local Mafia. They want to control Billy, and his girlfriend, a local singer. But when Bruce refuses numerous threats and demands, they are out to kill him. Billy fakes his death while filming a movie (it so happens that Bruce dies in the final scene of the Chinese Connection). Once the Mafia thinks that he is dead, he seeks revenge. Once the Mafia realizes that Billy is not dead, they kidnap his girlfriend and lure him into the restaurant, where he must pass three levels. Each level has one of the top martial artists. The first level is the level of weaponry, where the nun-chuks are used. The second level is the level of the Jujitsu Mastert. And the third level is the level of the "unknown" (the giant, Kareem-Abdul Jabbar as Hakeem). Bruce defeats all the challenges, and eventually witnesses the Mafia leader fall to his death from the top of the restaurant.

Enter the Dragon

He wants to avenge his sister's death on the island. During the competition, Bruce first fights Ohara, Han's number one body guard, the man who forced his sister to commit suicide. Bruce quickly knocks Ohara to the ground many times; Ohara charges at Bruce with rage. Bruce eventually kills Ohara. While Bruce disobeys orders to stay indoors at night, Bruce attacks several guards. After a guard sees Bruce flee the scene, Han suspects Williams, another fighter, because he, too, was outside then.

Because of the death of his number one bodyguard, Han asks Roper, another fighter, to join his private army.

After seeing his old friend Williams, Roper refuses to join Han's army and represent Han in the United States. Later that night, Bruce again attempts to find a radio to call for backup. This time he is spotted in the underground layer. Bruce fights the Han's army of guards, and defeats all of them. But he is eventually trapped. The next day, Roper is told to fight Bruce; he refuses.
