  • After Tang kills Colt, he gathers the rest of his Gi, places it over him and silently prays for his opponent. This really shows how much the two had grown to respect each other, especially after Colt willingly fought to the end even after Tang gave him the opportunity to leave. As summed up well below in a YouTube comment:
    YouTube Commenter: Excellent fight scene. But also, you see some emotion. Like when Colt (played by Chuck Norris) struggles to his feet, refusing to submit for the sake of his pride. Tang (played by Bruce Lee) shakes his head, trying to tell him to just let it go. Just let it go. Colt refuses and boldly attacks anyway. Tang kills him, but you see remorse on his face. Tang respects the honor and courage in Colt to fight in this way. Tang puts his top back on, but then looks at Colt's black belt and gi top. He returns it to Colt, as if to say "You were a warrior, you earned it. If we hadn't been on opposite sides, we might have been friends". Pride, honor, dignity, courage, respect, mercy, remorse. All in a fight scene.
  • When Chen Ching Hua takes Tang Lung on a tour around Rome. Even though he brushes off some of the amazing sights he's shown, claiming that, had he had that much land in Hong Kong, he'd make money off it; he can barely contain his — and possibly to an extent, Bruce's own — amazement over most of what he sees, including the Flaminio Obelisk and the Quattro Fontane.
