The film that started it all!
Well, in a manner of speaking
It introduced Bruce Lee to the World, which caused everyone to seek out his other films
And all the people who were inspired to take up MA, whether it was KF or something else, due to watching this film
Not a particular "anniversary", however released in 1973, with 2023 being it's 50th anniversary, and still a film people talk about
So here are the clips, with some followup comments, and we have referenced this on Class and will do again

Real "Ninja" methods from Bruce in this mid sequence - he is already undercover to infiltrate the Base, uses climbing, stealth, escape and evasion
And we see the famous Nunchaku dem for the first time

Fight with Han

NOTES
First fight with Sammo
Bruce's condition
Starts long range, KB distance, the low lead hand
The three TD are more like Aikijutsu - not close range Judo or Wrestling throws, and there is no Trapping
Ground submission armlock
Roper v Bolo
When Bolo gets Roper in Juji Gatame, he uses a Kino bite to escape
As well as good classical Karate, at which John Saxon was a Black Belt with 18 years training, Roper uses good Western Boxing later in the fight, and finishes with a groin kick
When picked up and thrown down, Roper uses a Stage 5 kick and a get up, albeit a fancy one
