If Enter the Dragon is considered not only Bruce Lee's most successful film, but his most well-received then this would get my vote for a close second. Bruce Lee manages to show a little versatility when it comes to his acting this time around as he's shown dressed up as an old man and as a nerdy, telephone worker each with their own quirks and characteristics that Lee does a great job of portraying. Then there's the fight scenes. While working backwards through the ultimate boxed set, this is the first film to have any blood. The fight scenes are up to Lee's typical standard greatness, but the highlight is surely Chen Zhen's fight with with the seemingly unstoppable Russian, Petrov. Several of the scenes in that fight are featured in most video montages made of Lee to this day and for good reason. This also seemed to be better during the second viewing, which is slightly surprising. This is surely a must see for any Bruce Lee fan.
