Overall, I think this film lacked as good a story as some of the other films (though to be fair I don't entirely remember the other films). With that being said, the fight scenes were still generally fun to watch.

Cancer due to smoking...
Smoking on the airplane
Huh. How rude. They don't say hello
So it's soon explained they're upset about Bruce teaching martial arts to non-Chinese, but I don't think that calls for being rude.
Wow. $10,000 back then must be a lot in today's time.
Yikers. She cut herself with scissors (which thank goodness it wasn't worse than just that). Though given what she committed and/or intended to do to Yonah, she probably got off easy
OMG. This Becky causing trouble.
Hmm. That's a skewed point of view. "Use my daughter"?
Okay, I wasn't sure if he was going to defend himself on the topic, but after the fight he clarifies: "I brought Yonah back to protect her. Not for the letter." But he did not give a mention to the new injury (to be fair the Chairman decided to play honorably and fight one-handed, but then later didn't take the withheld kick - at least I assumed it was withheld)
Huh. I didn't realize that Japanese karate was popular in the United States long before Chinese kung fu.
Smoking and coughing.
Hehe. Master Law blames it on the small stage.
Huh. So this Conin guy is at the level of a master and yet the one student marine was able to go at it against him for a few beats
The subtitles: "[loud crack]" (broken rib)
Man... this movie is hard to watch. Racism is hard to watch.
Holy momly. This guy is going rogue. He's sure to be dishonorably discharged.
I guess what doesn't make sense is to pit the best against the best and use the winner as a proxy for the better school.
Oh no. I didn't expect Master Wan to lose - since he seeemd to be able to keep up with Master Ip. Does that imply Master Ip was holding back? (I guess during that fight he did have an injured arm and fighting one-handed must not be the same as fighting two-handed.)
"Racist asshole!"
Hmm. I guess there must have been a considerable age difference between this guy and Master Wan and Master Ip
Is no one recording this?
Ooo. That beat up eye. Disgusting.
Intense end. (strike to the throat)
I wonder if they'll do any resolution with Yonah or if that's just kind of a side story
Recap from other movies.
