Characters are in Big5. Romanization is in a
modified version of Yale (tones are represented
as numbers, rather than diacritics).

: BIG BOSS
tong4saan1 daai6 hing1 唐山大兄, literally
'big brother of/from China'.
tong4saan1 唐山 'China', literally 'Tang mountain'
(this is an old-fashioned word)
daai6 大 'big'
hing1 兄 'older brother'

: FIST OF FURY
This was one of the movies involved in shuffling
of the English titles. Here I use the original
title in refering to the one involving the
Japanese school.
jing1mou5mun4 精武門. This is simply the name
of the Chinese school.
jing1 精 'energy'
mou5 武 'martial'
mun4 門 'hall'

: WAY OF THE DRAGON
maang5 lung4 gwo3 gong1 猛龍過江, literally
'the fierce dragon crosses the river'
maang5 猛 'fierce'
lung4 龍 'dragon'
gwo3 過 'to cross'
gong1 江 'river'

: ENTER THE DRAGON
lung4 jaang1 fu2 dau3 龍爭虎鬥, literally
'the dragon struggles and the tiger contends'
lung4 龍 'dragon'
jaang1 爭 'to struggle'
fu2 虎 'tiger'
dau3 鬥 'to contend'

: GAME OF DEATH
sei2mong4 yau4hei3 死亡遊戲. This one means the
same thing as the English title.
sei2mong4 死亡 'death'
yau4hei3 遊戲 'game'

You've left out Tower of Death:
sei2mong4 taap3 死亡塔
sei2mong4 死亡 'death'
taap3 塔 'tower'

: GREEN HORNET ( US TV series)
ching1 fung1 haap6 青蜂俠, literally 'green
hornet paladin'
ching1 青 'green'
fung1 蜂 'hornet'
haap6 俠 'paladin'
