Norris is in that film for a blink, but he banished any doubts about his screen magnetism a few years later in Lee’s The Way of the Dragon. Norris has just one dubbed line, and he doesn’t speak at all during the epic, and epically funny, showdown in the Colosseum. Norris had been Steve McQueen’s fighting instructor. In return, the actor advised Norris that on-screen, quietude equals power.
