What's left behind the scenes
- The film was shot without sound. The entire soundtrack was created during editing.
- The film features not only original music, but also music by Ennio Morricone, written for Sergio Leone's Westerns.
- For its American release, the film was titled “Return of the Dragon” to capitalize on the success of another Bruce Lee film, “Enter the Dragon” (1973), which was released slightly earlier.
- The scene of Bruce Lee's fight with Chuck Norris in the Colosseum was filmed on a soundstage at Golden Harvest Studios.
- Developing the fight between Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris’s characters took 45 hours. Describing the characters’ movements in this scene alone occupied nearly a quarter of the script.
- Few members of the film crew had international passports or work visas, which meant they could only work in Rome for a maximum of three weeks. All the necessary footage was shot in two weeks.
- In preparation for his directorial debut, Bruce Lee read about ten books on all aspects of filmmaking.
- Bruce Lee instructed Chuck Norris to gain weight so that he would appear as a more formidable opponent in the final scene.
- According to those involved in the filming, permission to film at the Colosseum was not obtained, so several scenes were quickly shot there without the knowledge of the Italian authorities.
- The film was titled 'Return of the Dragon' for its American release to capitalize on the success of another Bruce Lee film, 'Enter the Dragon,' which was released earlier.
- As part of preparing for his directorial debut, Bruce Lee read about ten books on all aspects of filmmaking.
