("Return of the Dragon" also happens to be my personal favorite Bruce Lee film from when he was still working in Asia.) In "Return of the Dragon," Lee is of course, the country boy named Tang Lung, who returns to aid friends and family in peril. After the disappointing "Fists of Fury" (1971), I was glad to see Lee in a role that was less bombastic and less comic in nature. (Why not?) Apparently Bruce Lee thought so, and it is this lush city that he selected as the setting for his 1972 film "Return of the Dragon." Most movie experts (as well as fans of kung-fu movies, Lee, or both) will realize that "Return of the Dragon" marked Lee's third film in China, his first time behind the camera, and he also had credits on the screenplay. So you have to wonder if Rome would make a good place for a kung-fu movie. I'm sure it's a beautiful city, a wonderful vacation spot, and then of course there's the Roman Coliseum - a landmark in a region of the world that revels in its own beauty.
