    • 1983, Peace and Security in the Atlantic and Pacific Regions, page 69:
      But be that as it may: the Great Russian chauvinist Voznesenskii knew exactly how best to touch upon the asiaphobic nerve of his fellow-countrymen, how to stimulate the deep-rooted irrational fears of the Russians of peril looming from Asia, and how to turn those fears against China.

      These three sorts of gesture in three sorts of film – the ethnonationalist Fist of Fury, the Orientalist/asiaphobic/asiaphiliac Enter the Dragon, and the postmodern/post-nationalist Game of Death – suggests that the 'event' of Bruce Lee was not 'one', but rather at least three.
