Sean heads off to a magical land of barbarian kickboxers in search of enlightenment with Circle of Iron (1978, aka The Silent Flute). Allegedly Bruce Lee's personal dream project, it was realized after his death with David Carradine taking on the role of The Blind Man (and several other characters) who lend wisdom to a muscular warrior on a quest to retrieve a sacred book from an evil wizard. Or something. Listen as Eastern philosophy comes crashing down on Western knuckleheads as we weigh the merits of dissolving the Terrible Thing with Eli Wallach, face the trials, and espouse our own nuggets of ancient wisdom on this most excellent episode.
