The film depicts the struggles of an unemployed teacher who is forced to work as a rent collector. In the Face of Demolition (1953)ĭirected by Lee Tit, this film has Lee in one of his lesser known roles early in his career. There are tonal changes in the film from Lee’s original vision but a true Bruce Lee fan could feel the emotions in this film and it comes off more like a tribute to the master. Lee intended the film to be a profound exploration of Eastern philosophy and martial arts and wanted to introduce the western audiences to the intellectual depths and intricacies of eastern philosophy and values and what it truly means to go beyond one’s own mastery of an art. The film is about a young martial artist who seeks to find the ultimate truth and meaning of martial arts. The film was co-written by Lee but his tragic death prevented him from starring in the film himself. ‘Circle of Iron’ is the only Bruce Lee movie on the list which does not feature the legend on-screen.
