The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This film should be examined in the context of its time and the cinematic genre to which it belongs. Whether or not it adds to or detracts from the name of Bruce Lee (an irrelevant consideration), it is a fine example of 1970s Taiwan produced martial arts entertainment. Ho Chung-Tao, who actually hated the appellation "Bruce Li" was a superb athlete and accomplished martial artist in his own right. The western members of the cast were all highly trained martial artists themselves: Phil Cohen was a student of Bruce Lee in the US, Roy Horan qualified in Shorinji Kempo, Alan Ellerton expert in White Crane, Xingyi and Tai Chi, Greg Talovic a Taekwondo instructor. Thus the fight scenes were perfectly acceptable and not as unrealistic as in some films. For martial arts movie aficionados, this film is a real classic.

This movie contains some of the best fight scenes I have ever seen. The plot is typical, but it contains twists that differ from many of the Kung Fu movies from the era. This movie is packed with fighting, and has a great range of martial arts techniques. The soundtrack is unbelievable, although impossible to find nowadays. The English translation is way above par for the era.The DVD I purchased contained no credits, or any sort of menu at all. The editing is very shaky at times, but I'm sure the equipment in those days was very difficult to use. It appears that this movie could have been filmed anywhere, as there are only a select few scenes that actually show famous places in San Fransisco.This movie is a must see for any martial arts fan.

You really have to give it to these guys. The copy I saw was called "Bruce Lee's Secret" starring Bruce Li. Gotta love that. This is perhaps the best rip off of Bruce Lee, not because it's well made, but because it's so bad you can't but help to laugh. Bruce Li (or Bob Lee) takes on the entire kung fu school and yet no one can take him out. They should have never of insulted him at the restaurant.You have wonder, for a place like San Francisco, they could have used more locations than the wharf and some grassy valley (those mountains look great in the background), probably because it was never shot in San Fran nor did it try really hard to convince you it was.There's a part in the movie where Bruce Li beats up these unruly customers, one of the patrons of the restaurant later appears (like in the next scene) considering giving Bruce Li and his friend a job at HIS restaurant after they got fired from the one he was sitting at in the scene BEFORE! Confusing? Yes, you shouldn't get bogged down in the technicality of everything, this movie is pure comedic gold! Bob's a good guy too. When his roommate talks about doing better for himself in school, Bob tells him to stop with the books. Bob tells him it's better to prove to the world that Chinese aren't wimps. Amazing! The dialog is great too. From Grace talking about the news of his pupils getting their butts kicked spreading all around NY (keep in mind this movie takes place in "San Francisco") to the Bob's boss seeing his workers getting their ass kicked and only giving a very nonchalant "you can handle it after work".I could go on and on, but why do that when you can watch it yourself?

In this film we see Bruce Lee wanna-be Bruce Li tackle an army of thugs(who just happen to look like a bunch of bad rejects from a 70s Disco special) lead by Mr. Grace(who just happens to resemble John Travolta if he were fat and had a scar on his face). The fights are pretty good but seriously lack credibility. In any case, this movie is very humorous to watch but the humor isn't of the intentional type. Good fun if you like this sort of thing.
