A lot of fun.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Fun little martial arts time-filler, with Bruce Li attempting to bring down a pair of international drug dealing operations by pitting one against the other. Paper-thin plot is just an excuse for endless martial arts fight sequences, most are fairly well choreographed, some go on for such a long time, however, they become tiresome. Well photographed in Bangkok (?, at least, that is where the story is set) with a funny bit with a lubed-up Li fighting gargantuan-sized foe; and a good (if still slightly goofball) climactic battle in a warehouse with Paul Smith.Print quality is surprisingly good also, without noticeable frames missing and awkward jump cuts, nor annoying clicks and pops on the soundtrack.
That's Bruce Li, not Bruce Lee, who died a few years before this was made.Bruce Li was tapped to replace Lee. One of his early films was even named Exit the Dragon, Enter the Tiger, and you will see Bruce Lee's name used in many of his films.He looks like Lee and fights like Lee, but he is not Lee, he is Li. Got that? The film was very good with Li and Angela Mao teaming to fight a drug operation. Lots of good Kung Fu, and an ending fight that was really spectacular. I don't care how much Kung Fu you know, you are going to have a hard time beating a guy three times your size who is solid as a brick wall. I won't tell you how he did it, but it was used against a similar foe in a Bond film.Bruce Li is a worthy successor to Bruce Lee.
I'm so sick of people judging these classic kung fu movies by completely ridiculous criteria. So what if the dubbing is bad or the cinematography isn't up to snuff. These were meant as entertainment and should be judged as such. Were you entertained? Yes? Then it's a good movie and shut the f up! This particular movie's got a little bit of everything. Strippers, bad guys who dress like Bing Crosby, Lung Fei's worst hairdo ever, Angela Mao lookin' hot in a metallic jumpsuit, and Bruce Li sporting some major badass swagger. Oh yeah, and did I mention that the fat dude from Robin Williams' Popeye is in it. I won't tell you how he croaks, but let's just say that they don't make 'em like this anymore. And the theme song . . .the theme song ROCKS! I had it stuck in my head for days. If you're a fan of the late 70s / early 80s kung fu genre, then you owe it to yourself to check this out.
Hello action movie fans!!! This is your Martial Arts movie extrordenair DANIEL KAHN NELSON!!! Here to offer you true martial arts movie fans a real critical view of Hong Kong and Japanese cinema!!! In the next couple of weeks I will be commenting on movies that have been under-rated and not judged carefully enough so be sure to watch where I strike next!!! This was actually a pretty good film. There was however one cheesy but cool moment, that being when Bruce Li put on oil to make himself smooth and slippery during a fight with the drug lord's body guard. In fact it was quite funny. But the fight seens involving the female assistant were well choreographed and the final fight seen was awesome yet left something to be desired. All in all a well earned 8 out of 10.
