306 - The Wrecking Crew (1969)

This film, starring Dean Martin and Sharon Tate, was MA-directed by Bruce Lee, and also featured Chuck Norris's first onscreen appearance, in a cameo. In a later part of the movie (not on these clips), Joe Lewis also made an even briefer appearance.

Although the MA fights are poor by today's standards, one must take into account the time period it was made in and who the main actors were. Plus, it isn't a MA film, but a romantic-action-comedy with a little bit of MA in it. It has probably the first southern-style Shaolin salute in an American film (Tate and Kwan).

Unfortunately, Sharon Tate would become the most famous victim of the Charles Manson "family" later that year.
