Way of the Dragon - Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi, Rome

Another location where the rush of visitors makes it impossible to take a good photo without countless tourists in the frame. On the other hand, I was just another tourist myself. The Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi ("Fountain of the Four Rivers") features four water-spouting river gods representing four major rivers of the four continents through which papal authority has spread. The Nile representing Africa, the Danube representing Europe, the Ganges representing Asia, and the Rio de la Plata representing the Americas. The open hearted lady who courts Bruce Lee in this scene is introduced as "Italian Beauty" Malisa Longo in the film's opening credits. If you want to see a few tidbits of her illustrious filmography, you can look forward to promising titles like "Naughty Nun", "The Bare Breasted Warriors" and the Nazisploitation classic "Elsa Fräulein SS".
