Enter The Dragon 1973.
A martial artist is recruited by a government agency to spy on a crime lord during a tournament held on a island fortress.
One of Bruce Lee's finest and sadly last film ever made, he plays Mr Lee who is asked to be a spy and report anything on reclusive Han (Shih Kien). John Saxon co stars as Roper, a gambler in debt to a mob and Jim Kelly as Williams who escaped by beating two racist cops.
The fight scenes are well choreographed as it was done by Lee himself and worked as a uncredited writer. Although it may seem like a spy-ring film there is a hint of revenge which is told and goes against Bob Wall who appeared in Lee's earlier films. From start to finish it never gets old or boring and was amazing to see it fully uncut as some scenes were edited into other films and some up and coming Chinese stars in their earlier roles.
