	Media	Author	Review
		Jo Berry Radio Times	"Way Of The Dragon is memorable purely for its final Coliseum-set showdown between Lee and Chuck Norris. This is the film that provides just about the best combat sequence ever shot."
		Variety Staff Variety	"Dragon is noteworthy more for the martial arts action than for narrative, which is all its fans probably want anyway"
		TV Guide	"Far from a perfect movie, or even Lee's best, but it shows that he may have developed into an original and talented filmmaker"
		Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"This sort of stuff is magnificently silly, and Lee, to give him credit, never tried to rise above it. If a movie like this were directed seriously, it would be a disaster"
		Nora Sayre The New York Times	"This picture is dreadfully slow and feeble whenever the cast isn't fighting"
