English Title: The Way of the Dragon
Golden Harvest Company
Starring: Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris
Directed by: Bruce Lee

Synopsis: Tang Lung (Bruce Lee) is sent to Rome by his uncle to help protect relatives from having their restaurant forcibly shut down by local thugs.

Cat Burglars (Scene Stealers!): The climactic fight between Tang Lung and Colt (Chuck Norris) takes place inside the Roman Coliseum. As Tang Lung is looking for his adversary, a cat suddenly stumbles down some stairs and then runs away. It would appear this was a “catapult” moment when someone actually threw the cat into the scene.

When Tang Lung finds Colt they prepare for battle, each warming up. A calico cat appears between them, looking confused.

The true star of the scene is a little tabby and white kitten who watches the action from a safe spot above.

Just before the fighting begins another cat scurries through the scene.

The tabby kitten mews and the fight is on!

The kitten is present throughout the entire fight, sometimes watching intently, sometimes distracted.

In the end a great moment happens when the camera zooms in on not only Colt and Tang Lung but the kitten as well!

Final Mewsings: Roman cats apparently like to watch martial arts.

Many thanks to @DrJimmyandBOB for letting us know about this great cat moment!
