you know...

i just realized that BruceLee is a serial killer in his second movie. sure, he kills dozens of people in four of his five movies (even though the toll is only three in Return of the Dragon), but he returns to the scene of the crime numerous times in this one. isn't that the sign of a serial killer? btw, this is his only movie that he sacrifices himself as well; he survives in the others. his character in Chinese Connection is a quintessential hero with a tragic flaw - he can't stop killing the Japanese thugs and their accomplices who poisoned his master ;) very Shakespearean in a kung fu sorta way.
