This might have been the greatest of the Bruce Lee movies, had he lived to make it. The movie has an engaging story line, humor, wisdom, and action.
Decidedly low budget, but that does not detract from the movie at all. Nice scenery, interesting locales, and basic good cinematography make up for the lack of car chases and explosions.
The bonus material on this edition gives a pretty good background of the principals and their setting. Personally, I didn't find that it enhanced the basic product much, but for fans of the movie, lee, or carradine, the deluxe edition would be a must.

An Interesting Side of the Martial ArtsReview created: 06/23/09
by:
) Originally conceived by Bruce Lee, Circle of Iron is the tale of a fighter seeking enlightenment. The main character, Cord (Jeff Cooper), is a rogue martial artists on a quest to find the Book of Enlighenment. Along the way, he encounters several other fighters who teach him aspects of Zen Philosophy.
While, I enjoyed this movie, it is certainly not for everybody. The average movie goer looking for fast, precise martial arts action will probably be disappointed; the fights are not on par with other martial arts films of its era, and the movie has a slow pace. The Zen messages woven into the story are quite intriguing though, and the dialogue associated with them have some good, humorous moments. The extras are actually pretty good for such an older movie. The 2-Disc edition includes trailers, TV spots, commentary, and interviews.
If you're looking for a different kind of martial arts movie that actually deals with the heart of martial arts, this won't disappoint. Though the movie is so out there at times, most will probably find it either too boring or too weird.
