Description

AT THE CONCLUSION OF BRUCE LEE’S TWO-PICTURE DEAL WITH GOLDEN HARVEST, HE AND RAYMOND CHOW FORMED A NEW FILM PRODUCTION COMPANY, CONCORD PRODUCTIONS.

THE FIRST MOVIE TO BE RELEASED THROUGH CONCORD PRODUCTIONS WOULD BE THE WAY OF THE DRAGON, WHICH WOULD BE LEE’S DIRECTORIAL DEBUT. INSTEAD OF FILMING THE MOVIE IN HONG KONG AS WAS CUSTOMARY AT THE TIME, BRUCE LEE INSISTED ON FILMING IN ITALY, AND MORE SPECIFICALLY, ROME.

FIFTY YEARS AFTER IT’S BRITISH RELEASE, WE CELEBRATE THE SUCCESS AND LONGEVITY THAT THE WAY OF THE DRAGON HAS ACHIEVED WITH A SPECIAL COMPANION BOOK TO WHEN IN ROME: THE MAKING OF THE WAY OF THE DRAGON, AN UNRELEASED DOCUMENTARY PREMIERED AT RISE OF THE DRAGON 2024, LOOKING INTO THE MAKING OF A CLASSIC MARTIAL ARTS MOVIE.
