When in Rome: The Making of the Way of the Dragon Poster

When in Rome: The Making of the Way of the Dragon: Directed by Carl Fox. With Chaplin Chang, Brian Fotheringham, Malisa Longo, Nora Miao. In 1972, Bruce Lee had completed his initial two-picture deal with Raymond Chow's Golden Harvest production company. Fearing that he would join rivals Shaw Brothers under a lucrative new contract that he couldn't match, Chow offered Lee something that Shaw Brothers hadn't; the freedom to write, direct and co-produce his next movies under a new joint production company, Concord Productions. The first movie made under Concord Productions would be The Way of the Dragon, originally titled Enter the Dragon during production. At the time, Hong Kong studios filmed their movies in Hong Kong for sensible financial reasons, however, Lee had ambitiously set his sights on filming on location in Rome, Italy. In early May 1972, Lee, Chow and several members of the cast and crew flew to Rome to simultaneously scout locations and film some movie's scene, before flying back to Hong Kong to continue shooting two weeks later. When in Rome is a brand new feature-length documentary that tells the story of the filming process and time line of Lee's directorial debut, combining film footage, photographs, and interviews with several members of the cast and crew.
